NO MORE DEATH AND DIRT AND NOISE
Citizens of the Allied world cheered as one for the victory in Europe.
But just how joyful were the GIs who’d been fighting there?

IKE’S HORROR MOVIES
Dwight Eisenhower thought no one would believe what his troops saw in the concentration camps.
That was before Hollywood director George Stevens marched into Dachau with cameras rolling.
By John J. Michalczyk

SURVIVOR ISLAND
A desperate swim ashore from a shot-down B-26 was just the beginning. The airmen of
Imogene VII
now had to survive wary natives, an unforgiving jungle, and a Japanese manhunt.

COVER SHOT:
It was May 7, 1945. No official word had come, but everyone knew: Germany had surrendered. So the
New York
Journal-American
went to press with an extra edition and a banner headline. In Times Square, clogged with revelers, the paper
and a grinning sailor, soldier, and Canadian airman summed up the joy.
