History professor
seeks information
"Anyone who might have infor-
mation or recounts of incidents
or anything that will help bring
a better understanding of the oc-
cupation of Iceland by either the
Americans or British, or Icelan-
dic or British reactions to what
was going on, I would appreciate
it if they would drop mea letter.
I'm looking for first-hand, eye-
witness type material."
The previous request was made
by Capt. Donald F. Bittner, USMC,
Reserve. Capt. Bittner is pre-
sently working on a PhD in His-
tory at the University of Missou-
ri. He also hopes to extend his
dissertation, on The British Oc-
cupation of Iceland, 1940-1942,
into a book.
When asked what prompted him
to choose this theme, the captain
replied, "When I was Officer-in-
ch arge of the Navy Security Camp
at Kollafjordur, I noticed tha
across the bay were the ruins o
the main naval base used by the
British and the U.S» during World
War II. The base looked like it
was in a state of ruins and no
one could tell me how it got that
way. Then, when I went back to
school in 1968 I found that there
had been nothing written in Eng-
lish on the British occupation of
Iceland, so I decided I would do
that for my dissertation, and even
expand it into a book."
Said the captain, "Most of my
research will be conducted from
British records, some American
records and some German records."
He hopes to have the book comple-
ted within the next few years.
The 30-year-old captain, now
off active duty, was stationed in
Iceland at the Marine Bks., from
1965-66. Before that tour he was
with the 2nd Field Artillery Group
at Camp Lejeune, N.C. After his
tour in Iceland, he was assigned
to the USS Taladega, home-ported
in Long Beach, Calif. Capt. Bitt-
ner was here last weekend visit-
ing friends.
If you believe that you have
some valuable information con-
cerning Capt. Bittner's book, he
would like for you to mail him a
letter, addressed to:
Donald F. Bittner, 2512 Mea-
dowlark Ln., Columbia, Mo. 65201
or; University of Missouri, Dept
of History, Columbia, Mo. 65201,
where he teaches history.
