Churchill J. Brazelton Correspondence, 1942-1946.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122385582

The Churchill J. Brazelton Correspondence contains more than 200 letters, postcards, Christmas cards, and V-mails written by Brazelton to his mother while serving in the army during World War II. Topics of particular interest that are well represented by the collection include the art, antiques, and luxury-item market in Europe during the war; the social life of the French aristocracy, especially regarding dining, entertaining, and fashion; and economic and social conditions in Germany and France in the months following the war. Pertaining to this last topic are a number of interesting descriptions of German POWs, ordinary citizens, and concentration camp survivors. The collection also includes accounts of Brazelton's visits to the Buchenwald concentration camp and to the ruined Reich Chancellery building and Hitler's bunker, and a description of the elaborate banquet given by Soviet Marshal I.S. Konev in honor of U.S. General Omar Bradley and his staff.
