Marilu: I'm not making a lot of sense of the last of this entry Anyone have any insights?
Cliff Hope: In a letter home I wrote about the beautiful weather we had enjoyed for two days, "clear sunshine with a few clouds. A week of this weather would dry up the mud, but as it is it's pretty soupy. We're living in a house now, not badly damaged, and it's been warm enough that we don't have to have a fire all day. There's no need to worry about fraternization with German civilians, because there are none here and I've seen very few in other places.
The meals have been generally very good, particularly the breakfasts. I had an orange this morning. Incidentally, from what I've seen, I can't see that the great vaunted Nazi superstate has done much to improve the lot of the Herrenvolk. The villages here, if anything, look worse than those of the poor, decadent French and Belgians. The only things here the least bit modern are the pillboxes, which is a sad commentary indeed.
