Dangerous Conditions

Conditions were dangerous for Chaplain McDonald, who often traveled with only his jeep driver, George Kosnich, along areas still controlled by the Germans. Routes were planned based on the latest situation but things could change quickly. On one excursion, McDonald nearly crossed the front lines.

Stretches of the road seemed ominously lonely, and reaching this German town I saw a marker indicating an Artillery battalion. If I had continued on the way designed I would have run right into the enemy, for at the front there is no one to tell you what to do next
