主题：【原创】朝鲜战场上的美国“老爸”——当了战俘名利双收(续) -- 老拙

One day in early 1951 some' of the Turks, who were pretty staunch Allied troops, heard that the New York Herald Tribune's reporter, Maggie Higgins, had been captured. They told me about it. I had known Maggie in Berlin and again in Korea. None of us liked the idea of an American woman being in the hands of the Reds so we got together a few little things we could spare for her and about in American greenbacks and gave it to the Turks to get to her. We knew the Chinese were crazy for greenbacks and figured that small amount of money might help her out. The Turks took the money and about four later returned everything to all the donors be- cause they had learned through the grapevine that Miss Higgins had not been captured. I sure liked those Turks. They were good soldiers and good men. The Chinese never were able to do much with them. The Turks just shrugged their shoulders and pretended they didn't understand. They even brought in a Turkish- speaking Russian who had once worked in the Russian embassy at Ankara. He didn't have any luck either and may be in a Rus- sian hole somewhere today for having failed. The Reds told us one day that the United States government was holding up letters to POWs. I think it was the other way around. I know people wrote me and thanked me for making pictures of their prisoner kin. Americans do things like that. I got about 10 j such letters in prison camp but i I'll bet there were many more, j I had intended to write letters to those 10 or 12 people and thank! them but the Communists took those letters away from me when I was freed on Aug. 9. Now I don't have the names or addresses. I was only permitted to write two letters a month while I was in prison and of course they went to my wife. They took away from me every address I had in writing when I left.

Noel is receiving medical treatment in Tokyo before returning to the United States.) By FRANK NOEL As Told to Ofen dements TOKYO I received my camera in January 1952, the Chi- nese let me take pictures in lour of the six camps where non-Korean war prisoners were held. In my wandering around the camps I got a pretty fair idea of how many men were in each and I estimated there were between and men, mostly Ameri- cans, in the hands of the Reds. Another 3.000 died In the camps and are buried in the hills around Pyoktong and Chonchong, where most of the camps were located. That would account for up to of the non-Korean troops estimated to be missing today. The Chinese did not mark these camps for aerial identification dur- ing the first year of the war. When they did mark them they used the Chinese characters that I was told meant "peace" rather than a pris- oner camp. One day about three months ago I saw three wagon loads of about 60 boxes of it to the wagon- dug up and taken out of Camp 5 where Africans, British Filipinos, Puerto Ricans, Turks, French and Greek POWs were held. If a bomb had struck that camp accidentally the whole bunch would have been killed.

None of the doctors would go for it and a good many of them did time in the hole as a result. We were held right near the border of Manchuria and a Chinese leader told me one if the Allies ever tried to liberate the prisoners the Chinese would take those they keep across the border into China. Perhaps they have done so now. When I was captured in Novem- ber of 1950 along with Marines, Army and British troops at Koto, North Korea, they walked us to Camp 700 miles over the winding route they made us take. Camp 5 then held officers and enlisted men. That was about April, 1951. In the summer they hereded about 600 men and officers into a Korean theater and made the rest listen to loudspeakers outside while a high Chinese gave a bitter haran- gue against the "capitalistic war- He told the enlisted men they should have turned their guns on their officers, who were "the real warmongers in America." The lecture didn't go over very well with either the enlisted men or officers. The Communists triwj every way in the world to indoctrinate the prisoners. They succeeded in some cases, but I would say the per- centage was very small. They used race against race and nationality against nationality in an effort to stir up animosity among the prisoners. On that score I was real proud to note 99 per cent of our men, regardless of race or creed, stood pat. They knew what was going on and didn't buy it. Later on the Reds opened up Camp 2 and moved all the officers wwwmm MONIY Miliii W Aft wBAtfAMl fipmn iv mnii I EATIM I! up, there. They insisted that I was a Marine captain and moved me there with the officers despite my protests 'that I was a civilian war correspondent. In trying to make me admit I was a Marine captain they made me stand at attention for hours at a time out in the raw cold. Three times they made me stand with my nose pressed against a bright light for hours on end in an effort to break me down or force me to write something favorable to them. I guess that is what is wrong with my eyes now. Once, while they had me in the hole, they tried to force me to write letters down to my corres- pondent friends at Panmunjom, Munsan and Seoul telling them they were being misled by the United Nations propaganda. They also asked me to write to the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, Bal- timore Sun, Kansas City Star and the Los Angeles Times, 'and tell them "the peoples peace move- was right and just. I re- fused. They even forged some of our names to letters and published them. I know of several such cases. Actually I've talked with some of the Chinese soldiers from time to time and they have told me that half ,or more of the so-called volun- .teers are anti-Communist and were conscripted.

没找到你说的照片，不过这老诺被放回去以后可没说志愿军什么好话啊，大谈其被共产党洗脑虐待的经历。找到53年的一段报道，题目就是“共党试图掩饰死亡”，我把它放到另一贴，说是老诺回去后写的一篇文章，说共军杀了不少人啊，故意折磨他什么的，有兴趣的可以看看。另外老诺还在56年一本名为“洗脑”的书里谈他“为共军洗脑和折磨”的经历（In book Brainwashing published in 1956, world authority, Edward Hunter, recounts the personal testimony of Frank Noel, American press photographer who was captured in the Korean War and subjected to brainwashing and torture by his Chinese captors. ），谈Burchett和“令人厌恶的”Alan Winnington怎么帮助共军洗脑，“把无辜者变为叛节者”（"helped edit self-criticisms and confessions which turned innocent men into renegades like themselves."）。他还说他刚开始拒绝接受相机被共军利用来宣传，又怎么巧妙的利用这个作弄共军。（"Because of this attitude of mine, before the camera arrived, Burchett wrote me a letter saying I would not be forced to snap anything I did not want, and that everything I did was voluntary. This was Red double-talk, but I beat it by giving it my own slant. That letter became my most valued possession. Whenever anyone tried to interfere with the way I was taking a picture, or whenever they tried to get me to take one of their fake propaganda scenes, I'd pull out this letter and say, 'I don't have to do it. Here's a letter from Burchett saying so. He ranks higher than you in the Communist Party. " ）呵呵，这哥们当面一套背后一套，不如老总厚道啊。
