prisoners on a Hollandia airstrip; of the Australians pushing captured Japanese soldiers out of
transport planes which were taking them south over the New Guinea mountains (the Aussies reported
them as committing hara-kiri or 'resisting'"); of the shinbones cut, for letter-openers and pen trays,
from newly killed Japanese bodies on Noemfoor; of the young pilot who was "going to cream that Jap
hospital one of these days"; of American soldiers poking through the mouths of Japanese corpses for
gold-filled teeth ("the infantry's favorite occupation"); of Jap heads buried in anthills "to get them
clean for souvenirs"); of bodies bulldozed to the roadside and dumped by the hundreds into shallow,
unmarked graves; of pictures of Mussolini and his mistress hung by their feet in an Italian city, to the
approval of thousands of Americans who claim to stand for high, civilized ideals."

John dos Passos (Life Magazine, January,7th, 1946. p.23) quotes a 'red-faced major' as saying: "Lust,
liquor and loot are the soldiers' pay." A serviceman writes; "Many a sane American family would

"That young girl riding by on her bicycle - she must know that on the day the Russians come she will
probably be raped by a dozen soldiers. When do they come? In days? In weeks? That, we have not
told the Germans. She has a good face - nicely dressed in old but clean and brightly colored garments
- like the daughter of a middle-class American family. I realize that we Americans are holding her at
Dessau. She cannot flee to safety. We will not let her pass our sentries on the roads. We are turning
her and thousands of others like her over to Soviet soldiers for their sport. I feel ashamed. What
responsibility has this child for Hitler and the Nazis? What right have we to call Germans and Japs
barbarians when we treat women thus?"

In France, "Some Frenchmen began carrying truncheons at night to protect their wives and sisters
from G.I. insults. Such was the reign of terror, the casual street selection for gratuitous sex by a wide
diversity of races serving in the allied armies that visiting U.S. Army wives would have to wear
uniform. The G.I.s did not want their wives mistaken for frauleins by other occupation troops."

"At home our papers carry articles about how we 'liberate' oppressed countries and peoples. Here, our
soldiers use the term 'liberate' to describe the method of obtaining loot. Anything taken from an
enemy home or person is 'liberated' in the language of the G.I. Leica cameras are 'liberated'
