...Delattre de Tassigny, who last fortnight attacked the Colmar pocket on the south, last week began to squeeze it on both sides. With Tassigny's French First Army was a crack U.S. infantry division, which got bruised one day in a fight against Panther tanks. One doughfoot who hid in a rain barrel saw Alsatian villagers pointing out U.S.-held houses to the Germans. When he got back and told the story, Thunderbolts and artillery reduced the village to rubble. Later the Yanks retook...
...traveled to Egypt by train and plane in search of emancipation. They were seated calmly, if a little self-consciously, in Cairo's ornate Royal Opera House. None wore the flowing charshaf (Moslem robe). Like Egypt's royal princesses, and other upper-class Moslem women, none hid her good looks behind a harem veil.

They were tough, picked men, almost all from Nazi U-boat crews. Beneath their erratic behavior guards could sense some hidden discipline, could only guess, month after month, at its purpose. Last week the patternless war of nerves seemed to be approaching a climax. Hundreds of prisoners formed ranks one afternoon to cheer the German advances on the western front. Then, as guards advanced, the shouting stopped...
