Special Cable from Oldenburg to the Northeast to the South Shore of the Guider Zee the canadians today March beside Lush Green Meadows there arc Clear skies overhead and a warm Sun to renew life in some of the riches Dairy lands in the world. If these Canadian soldiers Are in the fourth armoured division they Are in Germany somewhere be tween Emden and Bremen. Many villages through which they have passed Are on the surface undamaged by War. In the Fields they observe that which Only a month ago was performed by Young men Anc women dragged into Germany to be sold like Domestic animals is now being done by old men women and children who Are German Anc who must now themselves sow if next autumn they would reap. Many of the older men they observe doff their hats to passing soldiers. But this they do not necessarily interpret As a sign of servility among germans As such. Rather docs it connote a remnant of a still dying tradition of serfdom in Europe. Very Ordinary these canadians find nothing among the germans to support the claim of the nazis to superiority Over All other Peoples. They seem to be very Ordinary people who look like belgians frenchmen. Rus or jews. In fact they look like most nation do. As if were a mixture of every and any nation. They Are a fearful people who never seem to have enjoyed real Confidence because they never had a past. But the canadians sweep on Over great areas of Northwestern Ger Many in their tanks and a Mored cars or fight bitterly local actions against Small groups of German troops who have lost Contact with their main forces and Are completely unaware of the total Progress we have made in the past four weeks. Thev take Over a House whenever they wish simply ordering the inhabitants to find shelter with thei friends they return no greetings from German civilians they acknowledge no smile from a German child. They do not treat the Ger mans with brutality but if one sniper shoots at canadians from aria House Post in a Village that has been occupied that House is burned to the ground. If the germans leave them alone. Canadians leave the germans alone. In every Village an Allied military government detach ment operating under the authority of . Ensures that the Ger mans obey the Laws of the bathed command. Canadians May or May not har Bor revenge hearts against the germans. If they do they stifle member of the Canadian press the Canadian press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of All news Des patches credited to it or to the associated press or Reuters in this paper and also the local news published these feelings. Their Job is to fight let the proper authorities sit in judgment on the germans. If your Man is in the second or third Canadian infantry division he will be somewhere Between Zwolle near the East coast of the a tinder Zee and itself somewhere the North sea North of Gro Ningen. Be teen him and his com rades of the fourth division is a polish armoured division stubbornly fighting its Way towards Emden. In Holland in Holland the Canadian troops Are considerably happier than those in Germany for in Holland they Are among a Friendly people whose Joy at liberation by the canadians is so sincere and so Manifest As to be an inspiration to every Soldier Here. But Here they find themselves among people not quite so Well off As the people of Germany. They have not so much to eat and their clothes Are not so Good. In most towns too the germans destroyed the Light and water installations be fore they withdrew. But spiritually How different is life Here. For Here there is a great past and Here the people look Forward to the future without trepidation. If your Man is serving today in other Canadian formations he will West of Apeldoorn and North of arnhem marching to wards the South Shore of the Guider pointing his guns towards amers Fourst and utrecht where the germans have now the sluices that hold Back the Guider Zee. Here people Are opening their arms to receive the canadians. Here feels his task is Well Worth while. But wherever he is he thinks and dreams of Only one thing. He yearns for Home and his people. He anticipates much fighting before he gets Home. All this recent talk by held marshals generals and politicians about the Var being already Over leaves him interested by unimpressed. For Only today he found himself fighting germans. No he still believes he will have much lighting to whether it is called mopping up operation or not.

A grim journey nazi prisoners Don t understand by j. A. M. Cook free press War correspondent Wesel Germany april 19. By radio and Cable Europe s lost millions have begun their Long trek Home but for the nazi legions it is a grim circuitous route. Here in the Middle of chaos that has been threatening the whole continent the beaten nazi warriors millions of them begin the journey that is Tak ing them away from their Homeland to Britain. Canada the United states or France. There Are about a dozen strained faces peering through this three foot aperture inside of a Black German Box car but you notice mostly one thin dirty scrawny Man who has hoisted himself up so that you see he has no shirt. A dirty rag is tied to his right hand like a Bandage and he has a week s growth of Black Board on his face. Germany in defeat but queer freight drag comes to a halt just Short of a Miracle army Bridge you see a strange and uncomprehending Light in the eyes of this Little Man. Here is Germany in defeat this poor half alive creature Only one of More than taken Cap Tive by the United nations since the tide turned and he symbolizes the grim Story of the tottering Empire. Here is a Man probably of the Volk Sturmer brought into Battle at a late stage understands Little of army philosophy a prisoner and beginning a. Journey he cannot understand. You see a Man with a pallid skin. His Torso is blotched and sickly looking. You see a Man staring wildly at Wesel s ruin churned madly by tons of explosives its buildings now gaunt piles of broken Brick and dust cloaked cellars. This is a piece of his old Germany and he drinks it in sadly. There Are Many old men on the train but half of the whole lot Are boys and you see the end of the nazi army certainly that part of to with which marshal von Model tried desperately to hold the Ruhr. Prisoner toll you get two things from the Pic Ture. One is the staggering toll of prisoners coming in. Literally hundreds of trains have been pouring across the Rhine Lor the past fort s night and the Type of prisoner seems to get poorer each Day. The other thing you get is a consciousness of the amazing War organization of the american allies the Wesel Railroad Bridge is one such achievement. American engineers working just behind the Battle line built a steel Bridge with approaches nearly half a mile Long in less than 11 Days. Bridge building it took men to build thai Bridge but today you see a great american army transported across it and 280 locomotives hauling army supplies Forward and thousands of prisoners Back. The sight of these Long army trains East of the Rhine somehow underlines what is happening to Germany. The War has reached a stage when fully a third of Ger Many s manpower of military age is now behind barbed wire and undoubtedly More than half of those who have borne arms for Hitler have been casualties. It go on until every is underground or behind barbed wire. At the moment we Are our second five million.
