IF, the Germans had had a better sense of
eficiency and had spent more timeon |
the things that really count-
ed, they might have fared
better. For instance, many
German officers wasted hours
hanging on their dug-out
walls curtains and “God
Bless Our Home” pictures
which were not at all appre-
ciated when they were cap-
tured by the Allies.
One careful German sol-
dier had a gas-mask made
for his watch. This energy
was wasted, for the watch
is now in America.
The gas-mask is
simply an outside
case—one face of it
glass so that the
time will show
through it—which
fasten." tightly
about the watch
and allows nothing
to go in or out.
Of course a
watch does not
need a respirator,
nose-clip, mouth
piece, or chemi-
cal-box.
