Description

In this letter to his parents dated April 14, 1945, Capt. William Cline recalls the sight of starving Italian civilians: "Up until today I had seen people who were shorter on food than I had ever seen during the depression at home. Today however I saw people who had been robbed of food by the Germans. It certainly wasn't a pleasant sight. However, it was just the opposite who had been separated for months ran across each other. Mama, this war is terrible. I hope it ends soon because there is so much good to be done."
