I do have the satisfaction of
feeling that I never shirked a
danger when there was dirty work
to be done. I feel that its almost
a miracle that some of us came
through as we did without a
scratch.

I was with Headquarters
Troop (the enlisted personnel of the
headquarters) of the Third Army
for several months. Lived in a
wonderful big house overlooking
the Rhine in Coblence [Coblenz]. Around the
first of March, I was ordered to Paris
upon my own application to attend a
course of lectures at the Sorbonne.
I lived very comfortably and without any
responsibility there for four months
