Germans in Defeat Present Craven, Pitiful Picture Declaring his hatred for the Germans who have so sl.*ishly followed Hitler to the end of the ultimate destruction of a country once so beautiful, Ron Richardson of the Oshawa Rotary Club, told of his first hand impressions gathered from an inspection tour along the Rhine as the German military machine crumbled to de- feat under the onslaught of the Allied Nations. Mr. Richardson told the story to members of the Bowmanville Rotary Club at their luncheon in the Balmoral Hotel, Friday. Billed as guest speaker was Frank Grindley, Oshawa, who had also been overseas. Unable to be present, the task fell to Mr. Rich- ardson, who made a distinct im- pression in his reasoned, extem- poraneous address that portrayed various scenes encountered along the recaptured fronts. There was no attempt at justification of the war guilt of Germans as a whole, simply a picture of the bewilder- ment and wanderings of a defeat- ed and devastated national mass. The story was one of a people that seemingly were incapable of un- derstanding what t h e conflict really meant. With Past President Morley Vanstone occupying the chair in the absence of President Cy. Slemon, the pleasure of introduc- ing the speaker fell to Chairman of Programs, Charles Carter, Sr. He revealed that Mr. Richardson was a technician with Duplate of Canada, Oshawa, manufacturers of vital war materials used in many branches of the war picture, and who was drafted for service with a technical committee t crep- resent Canada along the liberated fronts to observe conditions and report findings. Mr. Richardson told of his ap- pointment as an unexpected duty which involved visiting European fronts while the war was still go- ing on.
