Sergeant, U.S. Army Air Corps, 1941-1945
[What I have to say] is in
line with what you’re going
to do when teaching these young fellows. It’s all in line.
It’s quite accurate and [will help you] see what World
War II brought on the human race. A lot of [conflicts happened
after] World War II and branched off into these other wars we’ve
been having over the world, but not to the [severity] that World
War II brought on the human race. What you’re doing here
now with [these interviews] - training these young minds to find
a way that [tension] can be settled before it can [build to]
that pitch… this could [prevent] some…minds [from]
getting all tangled up, like Hitler. He wanted to take command
of the world. Hitler said, “We’ll start here, and
I’ll show you guys how to take the world.” That’s
what [these interviews] are doing here. You’re training
minds [about Hitler’s] kind of thinking…what you’re
doing [can] prevent [other conflicts]. There was no one [back
then] that did anything to those [German] minds to prevent it.
They couldn’t think. They were just like a bunch of cattle.
They just blunder on. It will [happen every generation] if you
don’t have country leaders that communicate together and
get these little matters down before they get to be big matters,
killing people and tearing people’s bodies...
