Synopsis

We like to think of our men in uniform as heroes, and thank God most of them were. But the fact remains that there were so many criminally minded, morally weak, and irresponsible men in uniform that in 1943 a new organization had to be formed, in addition to the extensive police organization already in action, to meet the need for law enforcement in the armed services. This new organization was the C.I.D, Criminal Investigation Division. Their job would be the special investigation of any and all matters involving the military establishment. From living with the amiable British to solving murders of French and German civilians, William F. Kitchens shares his experience as a cop in Patton's 3rd Army.
