Snyder Speaks Before Rotary Club Describes Capture At Heighth Of Battle Of The Bulge Lititz service men overseas were the envy of their buddies when | they received their monthly pack-' ages from the Lititz Service Association, Lieutenant Robert Snyder informed members of the Rotary Club in a talk Tuesday evening. “And to receive a Wilbur bar with the word Lititz, Pa. on the wrapper can be compared as one of the big thrills of the war, he added. Discussing the invasion of the Normandy coast, Lieut. Snyder described the contact maintained between the infantry and the air forces. Messages from the invasion front were received and placed befor th air forces in Britain within 12 minutes’ time,” he asserted. Describing the battle of the bulge, Lieut. Snyder declared that few o fhis companions expected the Germains to attempt any great push of the kind. The ease with which Americans swept thru Germany following the battle of the bulge proved that they had thrown everything into the move, he said. Describing his • own capture, I.ieut. Snyder asserted that he and an officer of higher rank were going to the rear behind their own lines when they came to an American truck in the middle of the road. When he went up to the truck he found it filled with German soldiers who arrested he and his companion. “We didn’t eat for eight days but that was principally because they were finding it difficult to feed their own men,” he declared. “On the whole I was treated alright although we didn’t always get the kind of food we would have preferred,” he added. Prof. E. It. Lancaster, of Franklin and Marshall College, will address the club next week on “Post War Planning.” BOOTS AND WINGS ¡Pvt. Charles iS.
