Synopsis

Not all heroes stormed beaches. Some tracked killers behind the lines - A firsthand account of justice, duty, and humanity in the chaos of World War II.

I was somewhat surprised when I was asked to talk to a group at the high school where I worked about Criminal Investigation during World War II. We like to think of our men in uniform as heroes, and thank God most of them were. But the fact remains that in 1943 a new organization had to be formed 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. I was a member of the 13th Unit, and this is my experience as a cop in Patton’s Third Army.

From living with the amiable British to solving murders of French and German civilians, William F. Kitchens shares his experience in the C.I.D. See World War II Europe through the eyes—and poetry—of a Southerner who'd been putting himself through college working in the coal mines when the war turned him into a cop.
