Fraternisation in Hamburg
An example of fraternisation which his son, a Salvation Army worker in Germany, had seen in Hamburg, was described to a meeting at Christchurch recently by the world leader of the Salvation Army (General George Carpenter). A German woman with her own hands built a small hall in Hamburg from debris of ruined buildings, and there German members of the Salvation Army used to meet. Later, Allied servicemen attended too, and when General Carpenter’s son was there one day he heard a British Tommy giving his testimony, which was being translated b v a former German soldier who had been a prisoner of war in England.
