A PUBLICATION OF THE SCREEN WRITERS’ GUILD, INC JUNE 1946 KISKA JOURNAL LEONARD SPIGELGASS [In the late Spring of 1943, former Lt. Col. Spigelgass, then a Major, was assigned to the Force which was scheduled to make the assault on Kiska. The Signal Corps provided a crack unit of technicians, augmented by three smaller units. Spigelgass was in charge of this photographic group. The entire force completed its training at Fort Ord, sailed for Adak in the Aleutians, underwent maneuvers there, and waited for the attack on Kiska. On the 1 5th of August, 1943, the attack began. By the night of the 16th, it had become quite clear that the enemy had fled. The journal which Lt. Col. Spigelgass kept of those weeks is presented here as a running record of a unique experience and his own spur-of-the-moment reactions to events. — THE EDITORS.] July 22, 1943: We sailed at five from San Francisco — on the Grant, a German vessel seized in the last year. It’s dirty, blue-grey. LEONARD SPIGELGASS, screen writer and former studio story editor, is back writing screenplays after distinguished service in the Army. 1
