Robot Interrupts 'Permanent'
Pfc. Mollie Weinstein Writes
Of Experience in London
Pfc. Mollie Weinstein is among
the Detroiters in service who has
watched the deadly robots go
over London and has experienced
•the shocks that
accompany these
horrible weapons
Pfc. Weinstein,
daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph
Weinstein of
2254 W. Euclid,
is assigned to
the Office of the
Chief Surgeon
and is stationed
Pfc. Weinstein in London. She
writes to her sister, Rebecca:
"The air raid sirens are a fre-
quent sound to us during the day
as well as the night. And, it
means the real thing over here—
those damn buzz horns come
afloating around. They have
been our unwelcome visitors
both day and night since ap-
proximately one week after
D-Day."
Felt For "Dog Tags"
Stating that "I have gotten to
a point where I feel a lot of
people back home, who sit back
complacently, ought to know that
there is a real war going on," she
recounts the following experi-
ence:
"One night, after a particularly
busy day at the office, I was
sleeping most soundly at our bil-
lets. It happened during the
early days of those confounded
`things'. Their roar was terrific,
:, et I slept. I noticed a heavy
feeling on my head and awoke
drowsily to feel my bunk mate
holding on to my hand and sitting
on my bed; she had placed' my
helmet on my head and we both
listened for the motor to shut off.
Fortunately it didn't land where
we expected it to. You can bet
your boots we both felt to see if
we were wearing our dog tags."
The Children's Evacuation
The women will .be especially
interested in this experience, also
recorded by Pfc. Weinstein:
"Another time when I was get-
ting a permanent in a particular-
ly popular section for those
Doodlebugs to land, the immi-
nent danger signal went off for
that particular vicinity. Those
whistles started going off right
in the middle of the hair cutting
and I looked like 'madame Zulu'
herself. The hair cutting stopped
immediately. He (the hair cut-
ter) took me to a particularly
sheltered spot on the stairway of
his shop and away from windows
of any type. We felt a jar when
the damn thing lit not too far
away. Then Mr. .. took me back
to the beauty chair and continued
with the handiwork."
The D e t r o i t servicewoman
writes that the sight that gives
her a peculiar feeling "and really
penetrates is when I see the bus
loads of children being evacuated
from London, being separated
from their families and friends.
But the children are singing and
hooting and they wave to us as
they pass us."
