“I would like to point out that the majority of the Company are volunteers and enlisted with the earnest desire to play their part in the overthrow of Hitler and his Nazi gang. These men are from Czechoslovakia, Poland, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Finland and Rumania. Quite a few of my men have experienced the horrors of a German concentration camp, and a laige percentage are Jews. They spring from all walks of life, such as lawyers, doctors, architects, bankers and men who in the past have had their own business concerns. These same men are now doing work as bricklayers, elect) icians, and last, but by no means least, hard manual labour.’—A South African officer, commanding a famous non-Brit-ish Pioneer Company, giving “A Glimpse of tne Allies’ in a 8.8. C. short wave talk.
