It has been my cute standing1 that Eto rules forbidding Quot looting applied to officers As Well As enlisted men. We were also forbidden to talk to Ger Man civilians not in the line of duty and it seems to me that this would make it impossible to do therefore How stuff maybe he military activity % jeep Joy rides to aaa boys dear editor it first the playboys were issued jeeps for pleasure cars now they not have Only jeeps but also have automobiles.
