American at Red Square Marks Victory Day
Fri May 7,12:01 PM ET
By JUDITH INGRAM, Associated Press Writer
MOSCOW - As Russians dust off their Soviet-era medals and crowd Red Square on Sunday for a parade marking the 59th anniversary of Hitler's defeat, one veteran among them will be proudly displaying U.S. military insignia.
For 80-year-old Joseph Beyrle of Muskegon, Mich., Russia's Victory Day is no less his holiday: After escaping from a German prisoner-of-war camp, Beyrle joined a Soviet tank division advancing on Berlin.
"At first I was a curiosity. Then I became part of them," Beyrle said in an interview at the apartment of his son, John, who is deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy.
As a 20-year-old Army sergeant, Beyrle parachuted into Normandy during the D-Day invasion but was pinned down by fire. On his third night on the ground, he climbed over a hedgerow and right into a German machine-gun position.
Beyrle repeatedly tried to escape from several POW camps, but at 6-foot-2 1/2 inches and 180 pounds, he was often too big to squeeze through small spaces.
Eventually, in late 1944, he and two other Americans bribed their guards with 60 packs of cigarettes and jumped on an eastbound freight train, hoping to meet Soviet troops whose approaching gunfire they had heard from the camp. But the train looped back west and deposited them in Berlin.
Railway yard workers led them to Gestapo headquarters where "they beat the living hell out of us," Beyrle said.
They were returned to Stalag III-C, the camp they'd fled. In January they sneaked out hidden in barrels, but these fell off the truck just outside the gate. Beyrle's two buddies were shot and killed, but he outran the dogs and German guards and hid in a hayloft.
A Soviet division arrived some nights later, riding on Sherman tanks supplied by the United States, Beyrle said.
"I knew two words: 'Amerikansky tovarishch'" American comrade, Beyrle said. "I put my hands up and told them I wanted to go with them to Berlin to defeat Hitler."
The commander, a woman, argued with the political commissar about whether to allow an American to join their column of 80-90 tanks. Eventually they took him aboard and Beyrle repaid them when he rigged explosives to blow away trees the Germans had felled across a road.
"From that time, they accepted me," he said.
Beyrle spent about a month with the Soviet soldiers, sharing their rations of buckwheat porridge larded with Hormel fat another U.S. contribution.
They could barely communicate, Beyrle said, but "we drank toasts to Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill and the Studebaker truck. I taught them to sing the Notre Dame victory song."
The Soviet troops rolled westward, liberating POW camps, including the one where Beyrle had been held, and killing suspected collaborators, whom they "piled up like cordwood," he said.
Beyrle wasn't destined to see Berlin fall.
German dive bombers attacked "and I was blown off the tank and had shrapnel in the groin and I ended up in a Soviet hospital," he said.
There he was visited by Georgy Zhukov, the legendary Soviet marshal, who arranged papers to get him to Moscow. He lived for three days at the U.S. Embassy, but was moved to a hotel because diplomats feared he could be an impostor: A check with the War Department had revealed Joseph Beyrle's death in action.
Months before, U.S. authorities had notified Beyrle's parents first of his capture, then of his death, and had even paid them a $861 death benefit. Beyrle found out later that a German soldier had been buried in Normandy with his dog tags.
Beyrle persuaded the embassy to fingerprint him, and once his identity was established, he headed home.
Beyrle, who had been trained as a butcher, worked selling insurance after the war. He has visited Moscow six times, often attending the Victory Day parade with his diplomat son, and has made frequent trips back to Normandy to explore battlefields.
Within a few years of Beyrle's homecoming, the U.S.-Soviet alliance of World War II gave way to the Cold War. But Beyrle says it never entered his mind, as he rode along with his new comrades, to be afraid of them.
"They were our savior," Beyrle said. "We were their savior. They were my savior."
The only bad part is the Notre Dame song.
by Joseph R. Beyrle
The United States entered World War II on December 8, 1941 after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. I was in my last year of high school in Muskegon, Michigan. I graduated on June 7, 1942 from St. Joseph High School in Muskegon and had a scholarship to attend Notre Dame University, which I did not accept. Instead, I enlisted in the United States Army and volunteered for the Parachute Infantry.
I was inducted on September 17, 1942 at Fort Custer, Michigan. I went through the usual induction exams and tests and received my uniform and clothing allotment. I and 10 men who had also volunteered received orders' to proceed to Camp Toccoa, Georgia, and I was put in charge of the detail and given temporary rank of Corporal. We traveled by train from Battle Creek, Michigan, to Toccoa, Georgia, arriving in the evening of the second day. We were picked up by trucks, transported on Highway 13, past a casket factory to Camp Toccoa, which was formerly known as Camp Toombs, after a Civil War General. I was assigned to a barrack with double bunks which was to be my home for the next three months. We were further processed for the next week, issued additional clothing, equipment, and weapons. One of mine was a 8 pound Garand M-1 30 caliber rifle with bayonet. We received basic infantry, advanced infantry training (AIT). The last month was A and B stage of parachute training. All of our training was at "double time" and pushups were common place, 10 to 50 at a time. We trained on a rifle range at Clemson, South Carolina, forced marched 32 miles, with full-field equipment to and from Clemson. Everyday we would run the mountain called "Currahee", one and a half miles up and down, three to five days a week. We ran the obstacle course back and forth over a stream between two hills; followed by 30 minutes of hard calisthenics with between one to four mile runs daily. I was assigned to I Company 3rd Battalion 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. I became part of I Company Headquarters as a radio operator.
Late November 1942, we were alerted to move to Fort Benning Georgia for C and D stage parachute training. The 1st Battalion of the Regiment entrained at Toccoa and rode to Fort Benning. The 2nd Battalion forced marched from Camp Toccoa to Atlanta Georgia, approximately 140 miles. The 3rd Battalion rode the train to Atlanta and forced marched 162 miles in 72 hours to Fort Benning, Georgia, setting a world record for a forced march by a military unit, formerly held by the Japanese Army. We were quartered, in raised huts, in the "Frying Pan area" about one-quarter mile from Lawson Field, where we took C and D Stage along with the 250 foot parachute tower jumps, learning to pack parachutes, landing skills, and finally 5 parachute jumps from an airplane in flight. After five successful jumps, I rece3ived my jump wings from Colonel Robert Sink, Regimental Commander. After home leave for 15 days, I returned to Fort Benning for radio, demolition, and rigger training. After six weeks, I joined the Regiment at Camp McCall, North Carolina.
In April and May we made additional parachute jumps. In June, the 506th took part in the Tennessee maneuvers, as well as additional Company, Battalion and Regimental training exercises in July. Also, in June, the 506th PIR became part of the 101st Airborne Division. In August the Division was alerted to move overseas.
The Regiment moved to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, for overseas processing, shots, medical and new equipment in late August. We were transferred to Camp Shanks and then to the 42nd Street dock, on the East River, in New York City, where we boarded the HMS Samaria for the trip to England. We formed into convoys for an uneventful trip except for several alerts and one attack. We arrived in Liverpool England on September 17, 1943, one year after I had entered into the United States Army. We next moved by rail to Ramsbury with 3rd Battalion quartered in or near the town about 40 miles west of London. The next nine months were spent on further hard training. In January 1944, I was picked to attend British jump school. After three jumps from a barrage balloon, two from an aircraft, I received my British Wings. In April, and May, I volunteered for a mission to take gold into occupied France. I was one of three picked from our Regiment. We were moved to an airfield at Middle Wallop for training and briefing, from there to an airfield north of Bournemouth where we were briefed on a mission, not told where we would jump and issued heavy waist bandoliers with gold coins. I never was told who the other two men were. We flew for one to two hours and jumped at night and were picked up by French Underground, I turned over my bandolier and was taken to a safe house where I rested, ate and drank. The next 7-10 days we moved continuously. We were picked up by plane at night and returned to England. In early May we did the same mission and were picked up and returned to England.
As my unit prepared for invasion the day after my return to my unit we were alerted to move to a marshaling area at Exeter, England. We were locked in with no outside contact. We made a night parachute drop, assembled, and went back to Ramsbury. Two weeks later, we went back to the same marshaling area. This time we were told it was France, issued French invasion currency and phrase books and live ammunition and other items, briefed with sand table mockups, told what our mission was in France, given final briefing and issued parachutes. Mission was delayed for a day because of weather. On the night of June 5, 1944 we loaded into C-47s and took off.
The invasion of Normandy was on. We flew approximately 90 minutes from England when we hit the Normandy Peninsula. We started taking AA and ground fire, flying at approximately 700 feet. Several planes were hit and exploded or crashed. We got the stand-up and hook-up, redlight, greenlight, and jumped at 400 feet and I landed on the church roof at Ste Come Du Mont, taking fire from church steeple, slid down and made my way through a cemetery surrounding a church, over a wall and headed toward our objective, which was two wooden bridges over the Douave River behind Utah Beach.
The Germans had torched a house in the area where I jumped and were firing at the planes that followed us. Tracer bullets were criss-crossing the sky. Many troopers were hit before landing. I was loose for almost 20 hours in which time I blew a power substation in Ste Come Du Mont. Again on Highway 13, I threw grenades into groups of Germans. As I was trying to make my way to the bridges, I crawled over a hedgerow and landed in a German machine gun position manned by 10-12 Germans and was captured. Fortunately, I was captured by German paratroopers. I was stripped of my weapons and I was taken to a German underground HQ in an apple orchard north of Ste Come Du Mont for interrogation. While being interrogated, I was moved to another underground room, to my surprise, there was a young blond woman setting on the corner of the officer's desk. I would give only my name, rank, and serial number per Geneva Convention Rules of War. She proceeded to tell me that she had been in Ramsbury and had danced with, and named, many of my buddies and officers.
After this little game, I was moved to a temporary POW enclosure in another orchard and held until evening and marched along Highway 13 toward Carentan. We started taking artillery fire on the column, killing and wounding GIs and German guards. This time I took a piece of shrapnel in the left butt, nothing serious and was blown in the ditch along the road. After recovering from the shock, I helped bandage and put tourniquets on two GIs who had their legs blown off. After which we pulled them up on the road and after a German patrol picked them up, I and two others took off into the brush and I became separated from the other two. After about 12-16 hours, I was recaptured almost the same way as the first capture. I was immediately moved through Carentan and loaded on truck and taken toward St. Lo. As we entered St. Lo, our convoy was strafed by US planes. On the second pass, we were able to evacuate the truck and take cover. Luckily, no one was killed or wounded. We were marched through St. Lo to a horse stable on the road to Tessy. That night, St. Lo was bombed and the only two things that were not hit were our stable and the church across the road. The next morning when we were marched out, St. Lo was in ruins, with very few buildings standing. After marching 6-10 hours, we arrived at a walled monastery outside the small village of Tessy Sur Mur. This was a holding place for POWs and became known as Starvation Hill. I was removed from the monastery by the Germans and taken to an interrogation center somewhere in France. I was interrogated 20-24 hours a day, they were trying to get all the usual questioned answered. "Why me, a German, was I fighting for the Jews Roosevelt and Morganthau against my own people?" Sometime during the questioning I called a German officer a "SOB" and woke up several days later in a hospital with a big headache and a bashed head and later I was taken back to the monastery.
Seven to ten days later, a group was moved to Alencon, France, about 100-140 miles and held in a compound near a German airfield which was bombed day and night. We were able to volunteer for work, details from this camp repairing rail beds. After we left each evening the U.S. planes would bomb and destroy them. After several days, this work detail was discontinued. These details gave us a chance to get food from Alencon. We were moved to Chartes, France, outside of Paris. After two weeks in a warehouse with very little food and water, we were dirty and unshaven. We were marched into Paris for propaganda purposes, spit on and pelted with rotten food by the people lining the streets. We were then loaded into "40 and 8" box cars, 50 men to a car and locked in for 7 days and nights. With no sanitary facilities available, our health conditions became very serious. On the second day, while moving, we were strafed by planes. Our car was hit and seven to ten men were killed or died later and 20-25 were wounded. The boxcars were not unlocked for five more days, until we reached Stalag XIIA at Limburg, Germany. Those men who could walk were marched five miles to the camp and held in four big circus type tents, and slept on the ground with straw for a bed.
In this camp, we were finally registered as POWs, photographed and given our POW numbers and tags. Mine was XIIA 80213. We were also allowed to write a postcard to our families. This was the first time since capture that we were allowed to shave and shower, and even though it was cold water and very little soap, it felt good and raised our morale.
In a week or 10 days, we were on the move again, this time to Stalag IVB, about 40-50 miles south of Berlin. We stayed about a month at IVB - only the NCOs were moved from XIIA to IVB in compliance with the Geneva Convention rules. These rules state that men are segregated by nationality and rank, officers from NCOs and NCOs from PFCs and Privates.
On September 17, 1944, we were moved from IVB to IIIC at Alterdrewitz which was outside of Krustin, Poland and 45 miles east of Berlin on the Oder River. We were the first U.S. POWs at this camp, which had about 10,000 Russian POWs, including 200-300 Russian women POWs. We settled in and organized the camp. The senior U.S. NCO became the commander of the Americans, approximately 1,500 men. We were grouped into Battalions, Companies, and Squads. Security, Escap0e, Procurement, Administration and Information committees were formed. I was a member of the Escape and Security Committees.
Sometime in early October 1944 while I was out of the compound on work detail, a horse and wagon passed us on the road. It was loaded with potatoes. We all caused confusion and started "liberating" the potatoes when the guards began shooting at us. I was hit in the upper arm and one man fell under the wagon. The Germans said he was killed when the wagon ran over his head. I managed to cover my wound so it didn't show and when we were finally taken back to the compound, one of our medics treated me. It was a through and through bullet wound to my upper right arm.
We had a "ferret" in our compound daily. He was a German soldier and his purpose was to roam the compound, barracks and yard and talk to the POWs to try to overhear any useful information. His name was "Schultz" and had served in World War I and was called back into the Army. He was a likable guy and many of the men would play jokes and pranks on him. He usually took it good, naturally. It came to the attention of the Security and Escape Committees that several escape plans were aborted late in the planning stage because of leaks somewhere in the compound. With further investigations and plants of disinformation it was narrowed down to one person. After further investigation, he was confronted with the accusations and isolated from the others and interrogated at length. He was charged with treason. A court martial was convened within the compound and after a two-day trail, he was found guilty. As a traitor, he was sentenced to death. He was executed, his body dismembered and put down the latrines. Records were made and brought out and returned to the U.S.A. After the war, it was determined that he had been infiltrated into the group in the move from IVB to IIC and that he was a German National.
From the time we reached Limburg XIIA, we received a very limited number of Red Cross food parcels which contained condensed milk, canned meat, cigarettes, and chocolate. Cigarettes became money in POW camps. They were used for barter. I and two other POWs had been talking about how we could escape, and I had won 60 packs of cigarettes in a dice game. After discussion we came up with a plan which we took to the Escape Committee. It was quite simple. I would offer one of the guards walking outside the barbed wire 10 packs of the cigarettes if he would let us cut the wire while he was walking post and then go through when his replacement was walking post. After several meetings through the wire with him, he agreed he would get five packs before and five packs after we escaped. The escape was planned for early November 1944, when there was no moon. We cut the wire, as planned and went through with no problems. There was a train rail south of the camp, with a light tree area between the camp and rail line. Each night about the same time between 9-11 pm a train pulled through, which our informant told us was going to Poland. We hopped the freight train and rode it to a junction. Instead of going to Poland, it went toward Berlin. Early the next morning, we ended up in the Berlin south rail yard. We stayed in the car most of the day. At dusk, we started east across the rail yard and went about five miles, ducking in and out of culverts and ditches. The yard was being bombed by the Brits by night and the U.S. by day. We watched as a older man was checking the wheel journal on the car. I approached him, asking for help to get some food and water. We told him we were escaped U.S. POWs and wanted to make contact with the German underground in Berlin. I offered cigarettes for his help. After much negotiation he agreed. Later that day he came back with some bread and sausage and beer and said he would return later to take us to the underground safe house. Just before dark he returned with a wagon and took us to a house in the outskirts of Berlin. We were met by several Germans to whom we showed our POW tags. They agreed to hide us and help us move west.
The next morning we heard loud voices and noises coming from upstairs. Then we heard shooting and we were ordered up from the basement by five men in civilian clothes, armed with Lugers. They searched us and took us into custody. In the next 7 to 10 days we found out everything we had heard about the Gestapo was true. We were interrogated, tortured, kicked, knocked around, walked on, hung up by our arms backwards, hit with whips, clubs, and rifle butts. When you thought they could do no more, they would think of other ways to torture you. When you would slip into semi-consciousness, they would start again. This went on for days at a time and then they would dump you into a cold, dark cell, with no sanitary facilities and dirty from a previous occupant. We were taken to a room, after several days of beatings, where we saw four or five German Army officers. The Gestapo were in an argument with them about us. The German officers had been informed the Gestapo had three escaped U.S. POWs and had come to get us, as we were German Army property, as escaped POWs. After further arguments and threats by the officers, the Gestapo released us and we were taken to Stalag Luft III at Sagan Germany. We were taken there because the Germans considered parachutists as air force personnel.
After seven days of recuperation, we were returned to Stalag IIIC and put in solitary confinement and sentenced to 30 days for escaping. Solitary confinement was in a cage-like box about six foot long, four foot wide, and five foot high. I could sit in it but not stand or lie down. I was given a G.I. blanket and hat and great coat in addition to the clothes I had on. My rations were German black bread and water. This cage was inside another room in a larger building. In late November the temperatures were always below 32 degrees F. and sometimes down to zero or below, so you had to keep in motion so you didn't freeze. We were released after a week. It happened that the Red Cross representative from Geneva was making an inspection of the camp and intervened in our behalf.
I returned to my barracks and they had used the rest of my cigarettes I had left behind to get extra food, which I used to help build up my body and strength. I got a tongue-lashing from Schultz, telling me how foolish we were because "the war will be over soon and we will all go home to our families, Joe, you be a good boy now!" Things returned to normal life in the POW camp and we began to think about escaping again in early January 1945. We knew by our radios, hidden in camp, that the Russians were between 50 and 100 miles east of Krustin and advancing fast. We concocted a scheme that while in the exercise yard we would create a scene where one man would fake a seizure and two other men would run for a stretcher. Schultz was brought into the confusion and we told him the man needed immediate attention at the dispensary or hospital. We loaded him on the stretcher and I took one end and Brewer the other. We started for the gate and Schultz alerted the guards to let us through. As we reached the gate some of the POWs still in the yard faked a fight and Schultz went to stop it with the other guards.
We went through the double gate towards the dispensary and, once out of sight, we dumped the stretcher and hid out until a wagon came by. It had three 50 gallon wooden barrels on it, which the old men used to bring potatoes, and turnips into camp. We hid in the barrels and rode almost out of camp. As the wagon went past the last guard post at the gate, it went down a small hill, made a right turn, hit a stone and rolled over. The three barrels upset into the ditch and we came out running between the small trees and brush. The guards opened fire with machine guns and the two men who had escaped with me were hit and killed, but I was able to make it to a stream. By this time the guards had released the dogs, German Shepard's as big as small ponies. But, as I was hiding in the stream, the dogs couldn't get my scent. I stayed in the stream and traveled all night, going east and hid in barns during the day avoiding all people at farms.
As I traveled, I could hear artillery and small arms fire coming closer. On the third day I stayed in a hay loft in a barn and the next morning firing and explosions were all around and I stayed hidden all day. In the evening, a Russian armored unit came into the farm yard. I came out and identified myself to the Russian commander as an "Americanski Tovarish" in English and broken Polish. I told her that I was an escaped U.S. POW and I wanted to join them and go to Berlin with them and kill Nazis. After much consultation between the commander and the Soviet Commissar, I was allowed to join them and was given a Russian sub-machine gun with a round drum. The next morning after very heavy artillery saturation of the area to our west, we left the farm and headed west. There I was, an American escaped POW on an American Sherman tank, with a woman tank commander!
I was in the seventh or eight tank back from the front. Most of the time for the next few weeks we continued west, getting into several heavy fire fights with the retreating Germans. About two or three days after I joined them we were advancing west on a two-track road when the lead tanks opened fire. I learned later that they had fired on a column of U.S. POWs being marched from the camp I had escaped from, IIIC. The Germans had several scout cars and vehicles at the head of the column and many Germans were killed or wounded and two to three U.S. POWs were killed and some wounded. At that time, we went cross country north-west and then west. The next day we came upon the camp I had escaped from. Some of the POWs hid out and id not march out with the rest. After a small fire fight with the guards, we entered the camp and I was asked to come to the commandant's office. The Russians had some quarter-pound blocks of U.S. nitro-starch they did not know how to explode. I blew open the big safe in the office and the Russians were interested in the camera, watches, rings and any Russian rubles. I was able to liberate most of the U.S. dollars and invasion currency as well as Canadian dollars, British pounds, and French francs. I had a satchel as big as a three-suiter filled with currency, which I tied on the back of our tank. I was also able to get my POW record and picture which I was able to bring home.
We left the camp and headed west again. Over the next week or two we advanced each day but were sometimes held up by strong opposition by tanks or artillery. Early one morning, just after leaving our defense area, our tank column was attacked from the rear by Stuka Divebombers. We took evasive action but not soon enough. I came to with a Russian medic working on my right leg, in the groin area, and was in and out of consciousness much of the day. I woke up in a Russian hospital in or near Poland. After a few days I was beginning to feel better and thinking about leaving and making my way towards Warsaw when three was much commotion in the hospital ward. Many of the patients were trying to stand up and I was too, when a Russian officer came towards me. I recognized him immediately as Marshal Zhukov. He told me to lie down, through an interpreter, and asked how I was feeling, where I was wounded. When he was told I was an American escaped POW, he asked if my wounds were treated, asked about my family, where I had been captured, if there was anything he could do for me. I told him I had lost all of my army identification and could he help. He spoke to his aide and left. The next day I received a letter, in Russian, that I was told identified me as an American U.S. Army paratrooper and ordering help to get me to Moscow. Two days later, I started east in a Russian convoy of wounded towards Lodz, Poland.
Eventually we go to Warsaw, which was a pile of rubble. I asked for help from a Pole and was taken to a convent in the middle of Warsaw where they dressed my wounds which were infected. I was given some hot food and rested for a couple of days, then made my way across the Vistula River on a pontoon bridge and then to Remberto, Poland. There I was put on a Russian hospital train and ended up in the outskirts of Moscow. A Russian colonel took me by subway to the American Embassy in the old National Hotel just off Red Square. I had showed the colonel my letter, and in the excitement of reaching the U.S. Embassy, I forgot to get it back from him.
A U.S. major took over at that point, and I was fed and had the opportunity to take a hot bath, my wounds were treated and I was given a clean uniform. The major and another officer then interviewed me; name, rank, serial number, where captured, what outfit, date of birth, and place, etc. Late that night the major told me I would be taken to a hotel near the Embassy. Each day I was questioned further and a third person was also in the room, an armed Marine Sergeant. I asked why the armed Marine and was told there was a mix-up. Joseph R. Beyrle had been killed in action on June 10, 1944, in France. I was to be held at the hotel until the records could be corrected. Each night there was a Marine guard at my door. I talked to him late into the night, trying to convince him who I was and we had long discussions. One time, when he turned his back, I jumped him, but after a short scuffle, he pinned me. I was not match for him in my condition. The major was called and he ordered no more action of this kind, he and the guards were convinced I was who I said I was. I had asked to be fingerprinted and it had taken time for the Army and Washington to confirm my identity.
Later, I was taken to meet the U.S. Ambassador Averill Harriman and General Dean. There were also an additional 10 to 15 Americans who had collected in Moscow. We were flown to Odessa, Russia. In this group were a couple of war correspondents, Generals and Colonels. I was the only enlisted man. I met up with other liberated POWs in Odessa, loaded onto a ship and went out through the Black Sea to Istanbul, Turkey.
The ship put into port for a short repair and then landed at Port Said, Egypt. We were given clean clothes, issued toilet articles, etc. Our wounds were treated and healing. We then transferred to the HMS Samaria, the same ship I was on when we came from America to England in 1943! But the food was much better this time. We went to Naples, Italy, where I was hospitalized and had some surgery to remove shrapnel from my wounds.
On April 1, 1945 we left from Naples for the United States. I went to Catholic Mass on Easter Sunday in the ship's dining room, said by a U.S. chaplain who had been a POW. Ten days later we landed in Boston. We were processed and sent by train to Fort Sheridan, Illinois for further processing. I was given a 30-day delay in route to visit my home and family before going to Miami Beach, Florida for rest and recuperation (R and R). I arrived home in Muskegon on April 21, 1945, to greet my family who had had official notices that I was missing in action in France, then a prisoner of war, then killed in action and finally that I was a prisoner of war. A funeral Mass was held for me, my parents were paid my GI insurance (which they returned) and my name was inscribed on my hometown War Memorial. After 90 days at home, courtesy of leave extensions, I left to go to Florida, via Chicago, where I was admitted to Vaughan General Military Hospital until November 28, 1945, when I was honorably discharged from the Army due to disabilities.
My funeral Mass was held at St. Joseph's Church in Muskegon by Father Stratz on Spetember 17, 1944. My wife and I were married in the same church on September 14, 1946, by Father Stratz. We are now the parents of a daughter and two sons and have seven grandchildren.

GDC: Bite-Sized Concepts of Fun
Game designers have a lot of abstract ideas that often do not fit into the confines of a typical Game Developer Conference panel. That's why Richard Lemarchand, a game designer at Naughty Dog, hosted a series of Microtalks Thursday morning that allowed game industry thinkers to espouse about a "concept of fun" for 10 minutes. Here are the highlights:
John Sharp, Professor of Interactive Design at Savannah School of Art and Design
Sharp's chosen topic was the primacy of play. He walked the audience through the history of play, noting that Plato and Socrates believed play was an experience worthy of being explored on its own merits. Roman historian Tacitus, says Sharp, noted that soldiers were obsessed with games of chance and were willing to gamble away their freedom for the sake of play. Knowing the game "Go" in Japan is a sign of great respect. Games provide an experience different than what anything else does, he says. And that play has value.
N'Gai Croal, Consultant at Hit Detection
Don't alienate game audiences through assigned difficulty, says Croal. Prince of Persia came under fire with Elika's save mechanic because it took away a player's ability to control how difficult the game experience was. He hints that the standardized difficulty settings–easy, difficult and hard–are dinosaurs. Games should instead allow gamers to choose their own difficulty setting based either on a conscious choice between risk and reward or based on a player's real-time display of skill.
Clint Hocking, Creative Director at Ubisoft
Hocking delivered a passionate rant against the 100 point review system, arguing that critics should adopt a five star rating system instead. His argument is that the 100 point rating system cultivates the "cult of 90"– people who are automatically elevated to elite status by achieving this score. And since there is publisher pressure for developers to obtain a high score, the developers pressure critics for higher scores, and the whole system leads to score inflation.
Right now, Hocking says he can only compare contemporary games (say Metal Gear Solid 4 with Grand Theft Auto IV), and can not compare game historically (Splinter Cell versus Splinter Cell Chaos Theory) based on score. Hocking needs to be able to do that to do his job, he exclaimed. He believes that that the five star system relieves some of that pressure from review scores and put an end to score inflation. Then, he says, we can develop meaningful and thoughtful analysis instead of what the dubs "a comically absurd arms race."
Jenova Chen, Creative Director at thatgamecompany
Since their inception, games have been built on the back of technology. Therefore, like early film, games have relied on primal emotions to sell their technology to consumers—stuff like aggression, rage and fear. But Chen poses that games should address the entirety of emotions—all the hues of fun. They should also make us laugh and cry. There is a desire for new user experiences, and it is up to developers to combine emotion, social interaction, and intellectual stimulation in new and exciting ways to engage the whole swath of game players, not simply the hardcore.
Frank Lantz, Creative Director, area/code
Games are not media, says Lantz. Games have been dubbed media because it's an easy way to compare them to other forms of entertainment. The thinking is that games are media because you put a game into your disc tray in the same way you'd place a DVD into a player he says. But games existed before computers, and will exist after computers. Eventually, says Lantz, at some point computer processing will just be a feature of your game.
Games are also not consumables, he says. There are a lot of opportunities for profit by looking beyond at games as a service, he says. Games are not a medium. They do not carry an idea from one place to another. Instead, they are a conversation between developers and players and game systems. And that is what will propel gaming into an age of meaning, he says.

Atlus' new title Rock of Ages now available on XBL
PC version on Sep 7; PS3 version "later this summer".
Press release:
ATLUS and ACE Team today announced that Rock of Ages, their balls-to-the-walls game of tower offense featuring fast-paced strategy, high art, and gigantic boulders of doom, is now available on Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Rock of Ages will release for PC on September 7 via Steam, and later this Summer on PlayStation®Network for PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system. A new trailer featuring some of the best, most exciting footage of the game available to date was also released today in commemoration of the title's availability.
Hailed as "a must-have download" by GamePro, Rock of Ages is a treat for the eyes, ears, and mind. As players progress through nearly two dozen stages of crushing action, rewarding strategy, and breathtaking visuals, they'll be toured through five distinct periods of classic art history, encountering an assortment of famous historical and literary characters, outlandish and inspired defensive units, and fantastical bosses therein. The blend of genres and visual elements is so unlike anything else, the overall experience so unprecedented, that Joystiq deemed Rock of Ages "worth playing for the sense of disbelief that results."
Releasing alongside news of the Xbox LIVE Arcade launch is a new trailer featuring a wealth of Rock of Ages gameplay footage showing off its distinct amalgam of content and giving viewers a comprehensive preview of the five visual styles featured in the game.
Rock of Ages is now available on Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 system, will release for PC via Steam on September 7, and rolls onto PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3 system later this Summer. For more information, please visit www.atlus.com/rockofages.

Exotic Workouts believes getting fit doesn't require spending hours in a gym and performing monotonous exercises. Through their pole-fitness classes, which range from beginner's to advanced sessions, and their alternative-fitness classes, such as Booty Aerobics and Sexi Flexi, they help ladies burn calories and strengthen muscles without lifting a single weight. That's not to say the studio's workouts aren't challenging. Classes such as Pole Kitten require students to suspend themselves in the air simply with their thigh muscles, and Sexy Chair Fitness & Pole combine a variety of exercises that test students' leg and ab muscles for a full 60 minutes. If the studio and a traditional gym do share one quality, it's the confidence that they instill in their clients. Exotic Workouts members come away with a boost in their self-esteem, making it easier for them to confront the banana spider that's taken over their living room.
Stress Less Yoga's founder Deborah Lile harnesses her 20 years of teaching experience to help others subscribe to the anxiety-decimating mission that her studio name suggests. She harnesses elements of several yoga disciplines—including Hatha, Bikram, Iyengar, and Kripalu—to help students of all abilities improve their flexibility, strength, and balance during group and private yoga lessons. Each indoor and outdoor class incorporates postures linked with breath and meditation to banish fatigue and muscle tension, leaving students more refreshed than the web-based yule log that Robot Roosevelt chats in front of when he's at town-hall meetings with slow internet connections.
In 2013, Body Couture Pilates & Fitness was voted Best Pilates Studio by Local 10 thanks to its grasp on Joseph Pilates' workout technique. What's more impressive is that Body Couture Pilates & Fitness, a facility that isn?t overrun with treadmills and barbells, was also voted Best Gym. Instead, the staff relies on popular fitness classes such as TRX suspension training, Aerial Fly Gym, and Pilates/Barre combo classes, which utilize the Reformer to combine the two challenging workouts into one.
The instructors at Kate Yoga encourage healthy bodies and peaceful minds by bending bodies into shape with a variety of yoga styles and classes for all ages. During one month of unlimited yoga classes, beginning yogis ease into common practices with Gentle Yoga, more experienced students learn to meditate and breathe serenely in Traditional Hatha yoga, and Cardio Boot Camp bumps blood flow up to speed-metal tempos. Members delve into as many styles as they like, and the schedule abounds with classes ideal for seniors, kids, and teens. Yogis happily obey class etiquette and bring along their own yoga mat, towel, and water. Beginners without supplies may rent mats for $2. Alternately, the studio's on-site boutique stocks a selection of mats, towels, and books to make an Ayurvedic guru launch into a fit of tantric jealousy.
Jazzercise is 60 minutes of cardio, strength training, and stretching that incorporates moves from hip-hop, yoga, Pilates, jazz dance, kickboxing, and resistance training with handheld weights. Just as varied as the workouts are the class formats themselves. There are special Jazzercises geared to sculpt your bod, cut your workout time in half, or literally make you slightly better at saxophone playing. There's even a junior Jazzercise and Jazzercise team dance at some locations, which let you work out with your kids and teenagers. As for the ittie-ditties, childcare is available during select times at many locations.
Most gyms strive to tone their customers. The Training Pit goes one step further. Its instructors try to build entire communities of healthy flexers that extend beyond the gym and into the streets. How they do it is easy?even if the exercise regiment isn't. CrossFit-certified coaches motivate all who enter, from athletes seeking bigger biceps to newbies with no-ceps, in an open, bare-bones atmosphere devoid of fancy machines but well-suited for bonding. During scalable CrossFit-training sessions, students endure running, weightlifting, and gymnastic drills typically designated for Olympic athletes and firemen, creating the chummy feeling that The Training Pit is sharing a secret with them. Adding to that community-building ethos, students share exercise goals together, rather than fight over a pile of meat, to help motivate each other toward success.

Quoted Text Several other randomised trials indicate that a low-carbohydrate diet reduces weight and improves lipids more than a low-fat diet.14–18 Thus, reducing carbohydrates, as opposed to fat, seems to have more favourable effects on atherogenic dyslipidaemia, inflammation, thrombogenic and atherosclerotic surrogate markers.10–18 From these data, it is easy to comprehend that the global epidemic of atherosclerosis, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and the metabolic syndrome is being driven by a diet high in carbohydrate/sugar as opposed to fat, a revelation that we are just starting to accept.
Quoted Text Other human trials, not included in the aforementioned meta-analysis, include the Anti-Coronary Club trial, which showed that more people died (overall (26 vs 6) and due to coronary heart disease (8 vs 0)) when saturated fat was replaced with polyunsatured fat.23 The National Diet Heart Trial, a randomised, double-blind study, also showed a higher number of cardiovascular events (n=4) on a diet that was high in the polyunsaturated(P)/saturated(S) fat ratio (2 : 1), than on a diet high in saturated fat (n=1, P/S=0.4).24 Thus, advice to replace saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats (ie, Ω-6) may increase the risk of coronary heart disease, cardiovascular events, death due to coronary heart disease and overall mortality.21–24
Quoted Text Dietary recommendations based on evidence from the literature Dietary guideline recommendations suggesting the replacement of saturated fat with carbohydrates/Ω-6 polyunsaturated fats do not reflect the current evidence in the literature. A change in these recommendations is drastically needed as public health could be at risk. The increase in the prevalence of diabetes and obesity in the USA occurred with an increase in the consumption of carbohydrate not saturated fat. There is no conclusive proof that a low-fat diet has any positive effects on health. Indeed, the literature indicates a general lack of any effect (good or bad) from a reduction in fat intake. The public fear that saturated fat raises cholesterol is completely unfounded as the low-density lipoprotein particle size distribution is worsened when fat is replaced with carbohydrate. A public health campaign is drastically needed to educate on the harms of a diet high in carbohydrate/sugar. It would be naive to assume that any recommendations related to carbohydrate or fat intake would apply to processed foods, which undoubtedly should be avoided if possible.
Quoted from Loops If we take the basic type O diet and focus on beneficials - that leaves out most added saturated fat. If we then go by the 'lean grass-fed meat' recommendation there is actually very little saturated fat being taken in at all - olive oil is the only beneficial oil if I recall correctly - butter and ghee are only neutral on BTD. Any thoughts on this?
Quoted from Loops My only point is that if you really follow the BTD then it ends up being really not much saturated fat at all - type O supposedly needing it?
Quoted from Loops I am interested in what Dr D's view on this is. If we take the basic type O diet and focus on beneficials - that leaves out most added saturated fat. If we then go by the 'lean grass-fed meat' recommendation there is actually very little saturated fat being taken in at all - olive oil is the only beneficial oil if I recall correctly - butter and ghee are only neutral on BTD. Tallow is not listed. Heavy cream I am assuming is avoid as half and half are listed. What this leaves you with is a diet rich in lean meat, fish, fruits and vegetables and some olive oil and walnuts.I am aware the genotype and Swami diets rate ghee for example as beneficial for a lot of people - but a lot of people are doing BTD.I personally swing from doing high fat lower carb to doing basic BTD as I can't tolerate a lot of the recommendations on my Swami without gaining weight (when I am not pregnant)- at this time I am heavily pregnant anyway so I haven't been very compliant unfortunately craving cheese and coconut milk and cream - all of which are terrible for me. But that is beside the point and maybe not relevant to this post.Any thoughts on this?

This is a huge week at work, and I'm not going to have time to write. Not writing is like not eating. Or like eating capsicums or something that I hate. When I don't write, my brain feels full and cloudy. The moral of the story is, if you hang around until the end of the week, you can cop the brunt of my full cloudiness. I'm so good to you.
Leave a comment | 2 commentsI arrive at the clinic and feel the blood drain from my face. I want to be done with it, to feel relief and freedom, and I hate myself for it. Gaz has been agitated with me from the early morning, and to not feel his warm hands around me exacerbates how empty I feel.
This is the third time I've been to the clinic in the past month. I take my patient information form and try sitting in a different corner of the waiting room. I am crippled by terror and I make a desperate call to another clinic. - Please, I'm desperate, do you have any places today? - I'm sorry, I don't think we do. – I'm already at the other clinic and I just can't do it, help me. – Come in at 1 and we'll see if we can squeeze you in.
I run from the clinic to Gaz, who is sitting on the ground next to my car with a cigarette. He is lit up like a bushfire. He doesn't look at me. My phone rings. – Hello, we've had a cancellation. Can you come in now? – Yes.
Leave a comment | 18 commentsThis morning I sat inside a cliche and breathed the air: a pond with floating Mallard ducks, a weeping maple and a half rotten park bench with a dedication to someone's lost love. I wasn't late for work, but I knew I could be. I was trapped in the soft sunrise, sleepy but kept awake by the crispness of the daybreak.
I was vaguely aware of the garbage truck in the street and the traffic on Wattletree Road, pummelling and punching its way to the city. I scratched my head at the "NO WEDDING PHOTOS" sign, wondering if the City of Stonnington had something against women with silly parasols and slightly uglier but not so ugly that they ruined the overall look bridesmaids. I chose not to worry about it. I had an hour before I was due at work and felt determined to spend it being slow.
I decided to notice things in a deliberate and measured way. I considered the Japanese Maple to my left, tangled in knots, its barren arms smooth and gleaming. Its red leaves had mostly dropped in the colder weather, but they were nowhere to be seen – a gardener must have raked them. I imagined an enormous zen garden rake grabbing and shifting the cultural stereotypes. I felt the impending stress of my day begin to seep away.
In the quiet stillness of the park, my brain began to talk to me.
What time is it?
It's not even 8, I said. Plenty of time to be slow.
Did you write the presentation?
Don't be silly, it's not a presentation. I'm just going to talk for a few minutes.
What if they think it's a presentation, and then you just talk and you haven't done anything in Powerpoint at all?
Fine, it's a presentation. I can wing it.
Did you remember to give the kids money for the cake stall?
What about Lily's runners? I bet you cleaned the dog poo off, right?
Are you serious? There was dog poo on them? She's gone to school with dog poo on her?
Yeah, but don't worry, at least you got to slow down for a few minutes.

The Staff were great, very attentive, helpful and friendly. The bed was excellent.
The housekeeping staff was bugging me every 30-45 min to see if I had vacated the room, very annoying. This seems to be the trend at quite a few hotels recently.

I've been adopted!
Hi! My name is Radar and when you see my ears navigating my way, you'll see why I got my name. One ear up, one ear down and then I rotate them all up and down!
I am an ADORABLE small, neutered Holland lop boy. I am beyond cute with my speckled gray button nose and short, little legs. I'm a little shy and cautious at first. The best home for me would be a quiet home without a lot of noise or young kids. It's such a treat to earn my trust and then snuggle me and watch me close my eyes, relax and purr.
Won't you please meet me soon? I want to be loved.
"Bunnies Gone Bad: The 7 Deadly Sins" is a wickedly funny and amazingly realistic portrait of the rabbit psyche.
Two each of seven for set of 14 cards representing each sin. Comes with seven bright green envelopes as well. Cards measure 5", by 7".

Finally a new cartoon eh? Well I've had loads of stuff going on since last I contributed to newgrounds and stuff is still going on. I'm so very tired right now. I hope you like this it took me so long to do.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I dunno why your all try to decipher this.. Just take it as it is. A bunch a weird stuff that makes me laugh till I cry.
I'll say it again. Good job David
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I love how this could have a complex meaning like some people have figured out, or it could just be meaningless crap made to make people wonder. Although, I wouldn't call it crap in any case. Art is more like it!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Trying to be happy is bad... It leads to death.
I think it means... that if you are happy about boring useless meaningless crap... and make others happy about boring stuff, then you become sick and ill and die.
And all the people you were trying to make happy by this false positivity... don't end up helped in the end, they end up sad again.
Basically it means that if you want to be happy that you need something that would make you happy regardless of if you are trying to be happy or not.
Trying to be happy is bad... It leads to death.

Aprox. 9mins
You can right click and change quality settings but don't puase it or will be messed up.
We apologize for some of lip syncing getting off towards the end. We have been having a lot of problems with flash letting us work on the file so just expect the next ones to have all those problems fixed.
We will be releasing the new episodes a lot more often than the old ones and the animation will get better. This was mine (Eric) and Chase's first time animating a whole cartoon.
We will have an actual theme song and intro sometime soon.
Chris will be in the next episode!

OREGON WON. It appears that if you don't have more than a month or an offseason to prepare for the Oregon attack on offense then you don't have much of a chance to stop it. Oregon returned home after having its wings clipped by LSU last week and took out all its frustration on Nevada. And I mean all of it's frustration. The Ducks were up 34-0 in the blink of an eye, and Darron Thomas threw 5 touchdowns in the first half. The Oregon offense would finish with 603 yards, and Thomas would finish the game with 6 touchdowns and 295 yards. This is also where I point out that Thomas only completed 13 passes and 6 of them were for scores.
WHY OREGON WON. Too much speed and too much talent for Nevada to contend with. Darron Thomas wasn't the only Duck to finish with a ridiculous statline, as De'Anthony Thomas -- he of the fumble-itis last week -- finished the game with 204 all-purpose yards and 2 touchdowns. LaMichael James pitched in another 181 all-purpose yards and 3 touchdowns of his own. In fact, all three of them may have just scored again even though the game is over.
WHEN OREGON WON. When Colin Kaepernick graduated last season and went on to the NFL. Make no mistake about it, this is not the same Nevada team that beat Boise State last season, as a lot of the team's best players from that team were not on the field today. Though, to be honest, I'm not sure how much of an impact they'd have had in this game if they were.
WHAT OREGON WON. The Ducks got their groove back. The team had lost its last two games dating back to January's title game against Auburn, and the offense did not look incredibly strong in either game. Well, after Saturday's win the Ducks are flying high once again and ready to hang 60 on their next opponent.
WHAT NEVADA LOST. I'm not sure what you'd call it, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a member of this Nevada squad that will ever be able to take a peaceful stroll through a park with ducks swimming on a pond again.
THAT WAS CRAZY. Nothing too insane took place in this one, though being able to remember what it looks like when the Oregon offense is at 100% is enough to make you not believe what you're seeing.

SPIR is the Standard Portable Intermediate Representation that serves as a standardized, cross-platform IR for OpenCL. SPIR is based on the LLVM IR and the 2.0 provisional specification brings support for the portable encoding of OpenCL 2.0 device programs.
The SPIR 2.0 brings support for a generic address space, device-side kernel enqueue, C++11 atomics, and support for pipes. Besides the SPIR specification, Khronos also publishes a modified version of LLVM's Clang to generate SPIR from OpenCL C, a SPIR module verifier, and a few other pieces of software. SPIR 2.0 is based on LLVM/Clang 3.4.
