Before and after Belvoir's review, the center's recruits worked hard at their trades. On pine-rimmed Gunston Cove, a ponton outfit in dungarees and hip boots got its first look at its equipment, blinked when its officer-instructor said: "If you aren't handy with it, one day you may get shot." Farther down the shore, a purification outfit ran off drinking water, checked its chlorinated product in test tubes. Off in the woods camoufleurs practiced hiding barracks buildings under false roofs, pine boughs, strips of brown flannel. Elsewhere on Belvoir's rolling, wooded...
...motorized Nazi hordes rumbled across the Salonikan peninsula, but they did not invade its 40-mile-long eastern cape where the holy and historic Mount towers in misty beauty above monasteries perching like fabulous castles on crags above the sea. Surrounded by flower-scented glens and gorges, veiled with pine and cypress and chestnut, are great Lavra Monastery, Vatopédi, Simöpetra, bastioned Dionysiou (which proudly possesses the brain and right hand of Saint John the Baptist) and many others, each with its fusty library and gilded Byzantine church...
This week the Armored Force is to establisn two new divisions: the Third at Camp Polk, La., the Fourth at Pine Camp, N.Y.

If that's what you like then Nick's isn't the place for you, because you'll be saying "Why that's old-fashioned stuff. It's corny, nobody plays that way any more. Give me the Andrews Sisters!" Well, there...
There must have been an extraordinary meeting that morning in his pine-paneled workroom, with his aides: General Alfred Jodl, the powerful, anonymous chief of his personal staff; huge Julius Schaub, his personal adjutant and bodyguard; Chief Adjutant Colonel Schmundt of the General Staff; Army Aide Major Engel; Navy Aide Captain von Puttkammer; Air Aide Major von Below, and a few others-Adolf Hitler's trusted links with the fighting forces whose preparations were already made...
