The Medic and his SS Patient (Yank Magazine, 1944)
This tight little essay, titled "The German", serves to illustrate a small piece of life in a very big war. Written with a sense of melancholy by a winsome American medical orderly posted to a hospital not too far behind the front lines, it explains how he slowly got to know one of his German patients, a member of the SS, and how secretive and generally unpleasant he seemed to be.We recommend that you print this essay and read it as you drift off to sleep; be grateful that you missed World War II.
