Good armies are never too good to learn from each other. At Fort Benning, Ga. and Fort Knox, Ky. in 1936, Germany's Major General (then Colonel) Adolf von Schell was an honored guest of the U.S. Army. He saw its small, experimental mechanized units at work, took back many a valuable lesson for Hitler's Panzer divisions. Last month Chief of Staff George C.

Some of the company's best men had been shifted to schools for rookies, or to new companies, or to the First Armored Division at Fort Knox, Ky. Still more had been ordered to report to the Third and Fourth Armored Divisions, now being organized. This dispersion was inevitable in the expanding new Army; but this knowledge did not comfort Company D's old men, to whom "the company'' was family, home, the Army itself. Major Kengla...
