Army Boys on German Soil Our Doughboys Quelling the Mobs: The American Soldiers' Struggle Against German Unrest

By Homer Randall

"Army Boys on German Soil: Our Doughboys Quelling the Mobs" by Homer Randall is a gripping narrative set in the aftermath of World War I, focusing on the experiences of American soldiers stationed in Germany as part of the Army of Occupation. The story begins with Frank Sheldon and his comrades, Bart Raymond, Tom Bradford, and Billy Waldon, patrolling the streets of Coblenz. They sense growing hostility among the local German population, which is confirmed when they narrowly escape an assassination attempt. The soldiers suspect that the unrest is linked to a broader revolutionary movement sweeping through Germany, inspired by figures like Liebknecht and the Spartacists. The plot thickens as the Army Boys are dispatched on a mission to retrieve weapons and supplies that the Germans have been slow to surrender. During their journey through a snowstorm in the mountains, they become separated from their unit and find refuge in an abandoned castle. There, Bart overhears a group of German conspirators plotting an uprising against the American forces. The Army Boys, led by Frank, manage to surprise and capture the plotters, preventing a potential disaster. Throughout the narrative, the soldiers demonstrate courage, resourcefulness, and a strong sense of duty. The story highlights the challenges faced by the occupying forces in maintaining order and the constant threat posed by those who refuse to accept defeat. Randall's work provides a vivid portrayal of the tense atmosphere in post-war Germany and the efforts of American soldiers to uphold peace and stability.
