World War 2: Episode 62: June 3-6, 1945

from Letters from the Past · host Scott Ginther

This episode focuses on the World War 2 correspondence from an U.S. Army Captain in Konnern, Germany to his wife in Three Oaks, Michigan.  He is in the 489th Armored Field Artillery Battalion, Seventh Armored Division.   The battalion felt its first touch of redeployment as Captain Swanson, Battalion Medical Officer, was transferred to the 104th Division.   For once in their life they had too many girls.  Some became tired because nobody would dance with them and went home. The morals of the Germans are not very good.  A girl of seventeen or eighteen think of only one thing.  And each night they parade up and down in front of the battery area.  I know damn well this no fraternization policy is not effective.
