Today, Frank Huff is trying to find someone to write a book about his experience with Russians in World War II. So far, no luck:
“I sent a package of pictures and news clippings to West Point along with a letter asking whether someone over there might be milling and able to write a book about this. Well, they kept the pictures for about a year and I was beginning to wonder. So when I called them a couple months ago, they told me that nobody there writes about military history. They told me to talk to the Department of the Army. I got the pictures and stuff back a week later.”
The Soviet Union, it seems, has been more considerate of World War II history and the men who made it. Eight years ago in 1975, Huff and his wife were honored at a dinner party at the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C. on the 30th anniversary of the defeat of hitlerite facism. Only one other American was present—Paul Staubs from the Bronx, one of the four who met the Russians on the Elbe. According to Huff, the Embassy treated them to an incomporable east:
“They had a table in the middle of the room. It was the biggest table in the world, and it was covered with every kind of food, there was every meat you can imagine and twice as many kinds offish. The Russians made us try everything and it was all fantastic. The people from the embassy spoke perfect English and they were some of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet.”
