A paragraph clipped from a longer “Stars and Stripes” article concerning the battle-savvy Native Americans of World War One which supports the claims made in 1918 by a number of nameless allied POW’s who reported seeing female soldiers in German machine gun crews toward the close of W.W I. There is solid documentation pertaining to the women who served in the Serb, Russian and French armies but very little as to the German ladies who did the same. The article appeared after the Armistice and this was a time when “The Stars and Stripes” editors were most likely to abstain from printing patriotic falsehoods.
