The spirit is willing: the flesh is weak. I mean that soldiers, like ordinary men, occasionally fall sick.

In Holland and Norway, as the invaders marched in, local T. U. officials destroyed the lists of members, and burned the documents and books. When the Nazis launched. their own controlled organisa-. tions, they refused to join or signed on only in order to wage war from within.
In France 50 trade unions actually staged an anti-Nazi, anti-Patain demonstration at Toulouse, and organised ship- yard strikes and disturbances from Dunkirk to Marseilles. And that was only the begin. ning:

Inevitably, casualties must occur in this war by civilians. Karl Gryzka, an 18-year-old Polish youth started forest fires, tried to derail a train loaded with military supplies, and faced an execution squad.
