| Abstract: | John Johnson was a distinguished American
chemist who had participated in the Alsos
mission in Italy in 1943 during the Second
World War. He was assigned the task of
interviewing Italian scientists to trace out
something about the nuclear research in
Germany. For this he was accompanied near
the battlefront by Lt. Col. Boris Pash who
holstered a .45 pistol. Seeing it Johnson
remarked: “Colonel, a .45 pistol will be of
little use against an enemy attack.” |
