FROM GERMAN VIEW POINT Enemy felt war already lost just over month after D-Day When the Allies swarmed ashore on the French coast, -a young German artillery officer was busy training green ~ replacements for the defence of Hitler’s Atlantic wall. Al- most immediately Worst Fluegge was caught up.in the des- _ perate attacks on the beachhead. Fluegge—now on. the Asso-. ciated Press staff in Germany—recalls the momentous events from a ‘German’ viewpoint. By HORST FLUEGGE BON N, Germany (AP)—We had waited for the phone call for a long time. It came around 8 o'clock on June 6. A sergeant picked up the receiv- er. He listened for a while, then turned to us and said, “They have landed.” That. was D-Day, 15 years. ago tomorrow.

A year after nine people had died from the . effect of their workin painting. luminous diais, one doctor reported that “an industrial’ “hagard . does not exist’ ’in this occupation. Many: more — had to die of radiation injury, including the- discoverer Eve Curie herself, before the deadli- ness of this new menace began - to ‘be fully understood. : # es The report: ‘on strontium 90 was: tabled ' ‘just four days ‘after Prime Minister. Diefenbaker had made a brief report to the House on another threat ‘to. Canadian interests—the refusal of United States customs. authorities. to allow passage in bond of a‘truckload of shrimps from Red China. It appeared, from-.the tone of the questions and answers, that all parties regard this as a pretty serious infringemen* by Uncle Sam on Canada’s rights and privil- eges. Without disputing the obvious gravity of the Communist shrimp issue, we suggest that the health of ‘our unborn children js even more ~ I didn’t see what Happened ¥ at Cherbourg that morning, for } we .were marshalling the cur- | ious. mixture of youthful ver erans of the Russian front and ; “the kids dnd old men hastily | recruited for the defence of the?

LITTLE SLEEP From then until Aug. 11, I scarcely slept. Finally a spray from .an Allied machine-gun sent me to the hospital. We were an exhausted, de- feated bunch, the men of Ar- tillery Unit 1154. We knew we had lost the war, but there was ‘Never during the war, in- cluding the dismal. days in Russia, did I find the morale of our troops as low as it was in the first days of the Allied invasion. I remember talking to our staff chief in those first inva- gion ‘days :and: hearing him-say with a defeatist grin: -‘Let’s ‘take a Messerschmitt and go off to Spain.” We fought hard, though it is difficult now to explain why. We fell back slowly before the advancing American and Brit- ish tanks. On Aug. 11 we underwent a particularly severe attack. Most of the men of Unit 1154 were killed or taken prisoner, I was hit in the side by a tank * machine-gunner and removed to a hospital in Holland, When the Allies moved into Holland I was shipped back to Germany and eventually found myself in command of a newly organized artillery unit on the Eastern front.
