Norris minced no words in his aversion to the Germans and their brutality.  The Germans, he explained, "used four different kinds of poison gas. In territory that they had been forced to abandon, they left behind "booby traps", using even dead bodies on the field as bait.  Men wearing Red Cross armbands, immune from attack, actually carried machine guns!  They ruthlessly bombed hospitals identified as such by Red Crosses on the roofs! Also ambulance trains."

Dr. Norris expressed shock at stories of Allied prisoners who were horribly mistreated or killed by the Germans.  Rampant fear of German capture pervaded throughout the Allied forces. He desctibed battle noises as a common thing. "The distant rumble of artillery…in the sky…are regular nocturnal phenomenon."

Norris saved this picture, a sea of German (derisively called 'Hun') prisoners, for whom he carried much resentment.
