"I want to get a money order made out for your birthday present tomorrow if I can. I sold two cartons of cigarettes yesterday for $20 to one of the fellows. They can get $20 a carton in the black market here but I'm too near going home to take any chances on getting caught in that racket."

"A lot of the German Soldiers are getting back home now that were Prisoners of War and there have been a few cases of G.I.s being jumped on at night. I sort of make it a practice of carrying my little German pistol with me when I am out....it's too late in the game to take any chances now."

He enclosed a letter from his M.P. friend who had already come back to the US. The stationery he wrote it on was WILD, plus I thought his comments about what all he had to do to become a regular civilian again were interesting.

The only thing... there are alerts you can get when someone blocks you. (I'm sure they're not smart enough to know about that though), but if someone who wasn't blocked or was outside BS knows who blocked the accounts and searched your account information...

I'm surprised it took them this long.
I guess they're trying to take it over with Bots like they did Facebook? Or just finding people to target.

Denmark was not hurt at all by the war...I have read a lot about how the 29th Division band and a party of 29th men who set up an exhibit of United Nations war equipment at Copenhagen were entertained by the King and Queen and really treated swell by the people..."
