EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the only time Clifford mentions visiting a German concentration camp. After the war, Eisenhower ordered that all the troops should see what they had been fighting against.

Clifford writes a few lines to the Folks in a V-Mail; is okay; peacetime in Germany is already getting on his nerves; attended Church on V-E Day after marching through a quaint town; visited a German concentration camp – was not a pretty sight but let us know what we were fighting against!; the new point system has come out and he can be discharged in about three more years overseas (if he is a good soldier) -what he expected; answer soon.
