Whitfield Jenks Bell Jr. writes to Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Potter from Belsen Concentration Camp in Germany about some of his experiences during World War II and the current conditions in Europe. "There is no peace in Europe today; and from everyone’s [ hating?] Hitler, they have now all turned to [hating?] one another," as Bell notes. Bell also mentions the bickering between the Allied powers and the contempt some have for soldiers who had not shot "all the Germans in sight." Transcript included.
