Appearing on American newsstands some three years after the conclusion of the Second World War, the attached SEE MAGAZINE article is illustrated with seven photographs and reported on the world-wide efforts of the Allied Armies to track-down some 10,000 deserters from the American military. In the mid-fifties the Department of the Army had estimated that the total number of deserters from all branches of the military added up to 21,000; but in 1948 the army was happy just to find these 10,000 men: the numeric equivalent of an entire division.
The article is composed of short, choppy paragraphs that present for the reader some of the more interesting stories of World War II desertion. A good read.
