Life in Camp Ritchie
Excerpts from the film
This is the story of a group of young men in World War II - many of them Jewish-German refugees. They escaped the Nazis and found a new home in America.
They knew the language and the psychology of the enemy better than anybody else. Fighting Fascism was their goal. In Camp Ritchie, Maryland they prepared for their own kind of war. [ more ]

Hi,
If you indeed feel it might be appropriate to post the parts of my dad's autobiography which refer to Camp Ritchie on your web site, here attached are the chapters that do.
If you post any of the files on the Web, for copyright reasons they need to say that they are excerpted from
"My Life as a Fish," by Alfred G. Meyer, © 2000. All rights reserved.
There may still be typos and grammatical errors in the text. If you stumble on any, let me know what they are.
