THIS

VOLUME XXXI

By Don Lail

ABf iinnM

The Hitlerites and their satellites are doomed. This announcement was brought forth for the
world to acknowledge by the Moscow conference. This doctrine was
given birth by the Big Four of the
United Nations. The consultation
and its proof in the declaration
brings to us the plans. First, unconditional surrender of the common foe, even though Russia is
not at war with Japan: restoration
of free Austria. France, and a new
Italy. One main factor
that is to be planned and sought
for is the principle of sovereign
equality of all peace loving states.

Berlin Regrets
By the "Wehmacht," a Hitler instrument, it was announced that
although regrettable a Russian
had been accomplished. In this statement the Germans admitted a serious defeat, if
not a disaster. On the Dneiper,
Hitler has said "do or die" but they
just simply cant "dood" it. The
break-throuwas a distinct triumph for Russian tactics. Many
men and much equipment was
rushed to Russia but it was not
enough to "plug the leak in the
dam" as the Germans now find
themselves like the dams of the
Dutch which they have been trying to control for several years.
After two days the Russians had
opened a gap 28 miles wide and 16
miles deep making the Germans
evacuate many towns and a little
closer to the burned Reichstag
which Hitler decided had to go.
Perhaps now they will rebuild it
and Hitler "will have to go."

Morale is a lot of things like
knowing what you're fighting for,
and how you feel about your outfit. It functions in a rather curious
way. and is built up in a sort of
pyramidal fashion.

that he mill always come through
in the pinch when his outfit nefts
him. His next loyalty is to his
squad, which he thinks is the best
squad in his company.
He will give you the impression
that he doesn't think too much of
the other squads, but let some
stranger make a remark about
them, and your GI will be ready to
fight, for he's convinced that even
the worst squad in his platoon is
better than any other outfit.

For instance,

Similarly, he will make a pretense of having no use for the
company across the street in his
battalion, but taken as a whole,
his battalion is unbeatable.
This
attitude is cumulative, reaching up
to divisions and armies, and the
American GI is thus convinced
that the United Nations have a
winning team.
With this complex set of attitudes, three different units of soldiers are living and training together on the UK campus: the
regular ASTP men, the ASTP Reserves, and the former ROTC juniors now attached to ASTP for
