Manpower. Americans all. The country of this war worker's birth cringes under the brutal heel of the Nazis. Charles Kaper, born in Czechoslovakia, processes parts for medium tanks in an Illinois factory not far from the newly-founded Lidice, named for the Czech town which was savagely razed by the Nazis.
