Then there were the sudden gestures of respect for the enemy that occasionally graced the killing. Edwin Schmieger, a former parachutist with the German 3rd Parachute Division, is one of 100 or so German veterans who chose to settle in Normandy after the war, mainly because the Soviet army had overrun their former homes in Poland and Germany. A skilled carpenter who restores old furniture, Schmieger recalls coming under fire from three American tanks. "One of my comrades was wounded in both legs," recounted Schmieger, "and without thinking I left my cover to put a tourniquet on his wounds...
...House subcommittee headed by Democratic Congressman Donald Albosta of Michigan is expected to report its conclusions this week. A new probe would be embarrassing to Reagan during a campaign year, when Democrats are accusing his Administration of "sleazy" conduct. In addition, an inquiry would further jeopardize the nomination of Edwin Meese as Attorney General, which is on hold while another special prosecutor, Jacob Stein, looks into allegations about Meese's finances and his involvement with the Carter papers...

The New York Times reported last week that the fund has even refused to open its books to a federal audit. The disclosure led Senate Judiciary Committee Member Ted Kennedy to ask Jacob Stein, the special prosecutor looking into allegations raised against Meese, to include the fund in his probe.
