Tannis, who earned his bachelor's and
master's degrees in education from
Wayne University. He was a resource
teacher in the Detroit Public Schools

torn of a hill, they were overrun and
captured by German soldiers. Tannis'
quick thinking and reflexes ultimately
saved his life.
U.S. soldiers' dog tags where marked
with a letter to designate their religious
affiliations and Tannis' had an H, desig-
nating him as a Jew (Hebrew), which
could have brought trouble. But Tannis
and another Jewish solider threw their
dog tags away before the German sol-
diers collected them. Tannis.claimed to
be a Polish Catholic, challenging his
captors to "prove it otherwise."
While in the camp, Tannis quickly
made the best of a bad situation by let-
ting his entrepreneurial spirit take hold.
He became the prison camp's booty
tradesman. "I began to exchange things
to make a profit," recalled Tannis with
a laugh. "It was survival; that was the
bottom line."
Just shy of sixth months in the POW
camp, the sounds and sights of an
American bombardment steadily grew
closer. An American officer parachuted
into the camp, accompanied by boxes
of food and supplies. He let the
Germans know they were to be overrun
and warned them not to harm the pris-
oners as they fled.
Tannis was freed May 2, 1945. After
being deloused, he was given a 60-day
furlough back to the United States.
Later that year, on Dec. 3, he was hon.=
orably discharged.

Shipped off to Tinian Island in the
Northern Mariana Islands, north of
Guam, he worked in telephone com-
munications in this confidential unit,
aware that he was working amidst
something highly classified but not
knowing any more.
He learned the secret on the day
after the first bombing. The pilot of
the Enola Gay, Brig. Gen. Tibbets,
took the whole group out to a field,
sat them down and told them per-
sonally what they had been involved
in.
Glosser was discharged in February
1946 after serving 33 months. He
said he "felt a tremendous amount of
pride" in the work he had done in
the service of his country. Glosser
went on to become a schoolteacher in
the Detroit Public Schools, where he
taught math; reading and art. He also
taught for 47 years at Temple Israel.
With Fay, his wife of 48 years, he
regularly attends reunions with the
soldiers he served with. He says the
Saul Glosser displays one of the
many mementos he has from his
days in the Army Air Corps.
reunions give him a chance to see old
friends, make some new ones and
