Band 28 · 2015 Hl. Leonhard, S. Maria della Carità, Venedig

Auch in Italien fand der heilige Leonhard von Limoges, Patron der Gefangenen und Viehpatron, seine Verehrer. Dieses mit 1377 da- tierte Hochrelief zu Seiten des Eingangs zur (heute profanierten) Kirche S. Maria della Carità am Canal Grande zeigt ihn mit einem byzantinischen Vortragekreuz und eisernen Fesseln als Attributen. Zu seinen Füßen knien zwei Angehörige einer Bruderschaft, „con- fraternita“, die sich als „penitenti“ mit ihren Geißeln abbilden ließen. Ihm gegenüber ist ein gleichzeitig entstandener und in die gleiche Umrahmung gestellter heiliger Christophoros angebracht. Über bei- den Heiligen thront die Jungfrau Maria. (Bild und Text: Peter Dinzelbacher)

George Fenwick Jones

Eine Kugel kam geflogen (A bullet came a-flying.)

In Der gute Kamerad, ’s touching poem of conflict between military com- radeship and military discipline, a veteran recalls the death of his buddy in battle. He re- members how, as they were advancing to the attack in cadence, he heard a bullet coming at them. Before the ball tore away his friend, as if it were a piece of himself, he had time to speculate “Is it for me or is it for you?” When the fallen warrior reached for his comrade’s hand, the well-disciplined soldier could not give it. Since troops at that time loaded and fired at command, he could not give his hand, but he could express the hope that they would remain good comerades in eternity. Here Uhland uses a dramatic literary topos or literary commonplace, that of the soldier who hears the incoming bullet or shell. A similar situation occurred at the siege of Vicks- burg in the American Civil war. In his memoirs a Yankee sergeant named Charles Wilcox describes the grape, cannister, shells, and solid shot landing around him and then adds “I hear a ball whizzing towards me; I fall to earth for safety and just in time for it to go about three feet over me. It strikes the ground a few yards from me […]” During the last half century I have found frequent use of this topos, perhaps most vividly in a about the Franco-Prussian War, which I read some sixty years ago and in which the Prussian soldiers speculate as to which of them will be killed by the French shell they hear approaching. I am sure that most readers of this article will remember one or more such literary examples. Among those I remember, several appear in Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front. The narrator is under artillery barrage when a shell hits his dugout. “Then it shrieks again, I fling myself down and when I stand up the wall of the trench is plastered with smoking splinters, lumps of flesh, and bits of uniform.” Later, as an experienced soldier, he finds the recruits unprepared for battle: A man “must have a feeling for the contours of the ground, an ear for the sound and character of the shells, must be able to decide before- hand where they will drop, how they will burst, and how to shelter from them.” He argues that, while the recruits listen to the big shells falling in their rear, they “miss the light, pip- ing whistle of the low spreading little daisy-cutters.” Therefore, the old-timers sharpen the newcomers’ ears “to the malicious, hardly audible buzz of the smaller shells that are not so easily distinguished. They must pick them out from the general din by their insect-like hum – we explain to them that these are far more dangerous than the big ones that can be heard long beforehand.” 364 Mediaevistik 28 · 2015

While on leave, the narrator is startled by the screaming of the tramcars, “which resembles the shriek of a shell coming straight for one.” Back in action, he says, “Whenever I hear a shell coming I drop down on one knee […]”; and, while the narrator and his friends are fording a stream, they duck their heads under water “whenever a shells whistles.” On one occasion Remarque’s faith in the sound of the incoming missile is revealed only negatively: “A bomb or something lands close beside me. I have not heard it coming and am terrified.” Ernest Hemingway also used this topos negatively. In hisA Farewell to Arms, when he and his friend are under an Austrian artillery barrage: A shell burst short near the river bank. Then there was one we did not hear coming until the sudden rush. We both went flat and with the flash and bump of the burst and the smell heard the singing of the fragments and the rattle of falling brick. In his very realistic memoirs of his service in , Ludwig Renn occasionally men- tions the sound of incoming shells, but usually they are overheard and land somewhere be- hind him. In several instances, however, he hears a coming shell that lands very close. Also on the Western Front, but on the other side, the English poet Robert Graves had a similar sensation: “I heard one shell whish-whishing towards me and dropped flat. It burst just over the trench where ‘Pettycoat Lane’ runs into ‘Lowndes Square.’ “ In describing an artillery barrage, Lt. Will Percy wrote to his father that “you hear this rushing, tearing sound as the thing comes towards you and then this huge explosion as it strikes, and, infinitely worse, you see its hideous work as men stagger, fall, struggle, or lie quiet and unrecognizable.” The incoming shell theme was just as popular in and histories of World War II as they had been in those of World War I. In his excellent account of the Okinawan campaigne of 1945, George Feifer states, “As in all modern wars, ears become acutely sensitive to menaces broadcast by sounds, especially of the varieties of incoming fire.” Though this statement does not say it specifically, it does imply that the sound of incoming fire precedes the shell itself. Feifer also creates dramatic effect by having his servicemen hear the ap- proaching shells, for the “approach of heavy shells that could be heard from a far distance prolongued the macabre suspense; battle-hardenend men came to feel that the whistle alone could achieve the enemy’s goal.” Samuel Hynes, an aviator camped at the Yomitan airfield on Okinawa, also made drastic use of the “incoming shell” topos in describing the fear one felt when knowing that “the shriek would sound and the shell would fall, carrying your death.” A Navajo on Okinawa was dismayed most “by his fatal impotence as the murderous shells approached.” Charlton Ogburn, Jr., who fought in the Burma Campaign, is more specific when he says, “Oh, God, here comes another one, right for the pit of your stomach […] wheu-wheu- wheu-wheu-wheu-bam!” Elsewhere he says: There were the howitzers, 70 millimeters and perhaps 150’s too, that we had met at Walaw- bum. Their shells arched in on you and could be heard coming a long way with a sound like that of a bird with whistling wings. (In fact there was a bird, a kind of hornbill, that made a sound so similar when it took off ahead of the column in the forest that we froze when we heard it, waiting for the detonation.) If you were exposed you had time to dive for cover, but you had also time for a protracted and sickening apprehension. The others gave you no Mediaevistik 28 · 2015 365

time at all. The flat trajectory fire of a 77 millimeter gun was like a whiplash. It came with a shriek. There was no suspense, only an instant of cowering contraction: boom-whaaou- BANG! and it was all over except the zip and whine of the shell fragments and the rain of dirt and bits of trees. Later Ogburn tells how, when a man blows up his rubber pillow, another man in the next fox-hole exclaims, “Oh, for God’s sake, I thought it was a shell coming right in on us.” Af- ter that, he says, “At Shaduzup, they had both high-trajectory howitzers and 77-millimeters mountain guns that slammed their fire in with only a quick, demented shriek between the report of the gun and the explosion of the shell.” In his very gripping account of the Pacific War, William Manchester also discusses the incoming shell: Under close, flat fire the projectiles whipping in were no more identifiable to the veteran than to the greenest replacement. But most of the time you had some warning, and you became familiar with the acoustics of the big cannon. Given a little time in combat – the first days were dangerous for the newcomers – you could sort out the whines of 74-milli- meter, 105-millimeter, 24-centimeter, and 30-centimeter howitzers; coastal guns as large as 8-inches (203 millimeters); 120- and 150-millimeter siege guns; rocket bombs; and huge, bloodcurdling 320-millimeter mortars. We have seen that Uhland, Wilcox, Remarque, Renn, Graves, Feifer, Ogburn, and Man- chester (like thousands of men under artillery fire) believed that you can hear the sound of the incoming shell, so it seems strange that this dramatic literary theme was not used by John Costello, who graphically depicted the violence of the same battles described so well by Feifer. Was he unaware of this dramatic literary device, or did he refuse to believe in it? A hasty reading of one passage in Costello’s book might suggest that he accepted the belief in the sound of the incoming shell, namely, of that of the atom bomb at Hiroshima: At seventeen seconds past 8:15, the bomb bay doors opened and “Little Boy” plummet- ed free, wobbling a bit until it picked up speed. The supersonic scream it generated was never to reach the ears of the people on the ground. At precisely 1,800 feet the barometric pressure device triggered the detonating mechanism. In split milliseconds a brief flash had become an engulfing ball of light and destructive energy. Since The Enola Gay was flying 200 miles per hour at 31,860 feet, the atom bomb would have been traveling that fast when it was dropped, but air resistance would have slowed it down quickly until it was free-falling and had probably attained terminal velocity when it detonated at 1,800 feet. The “supersonic scream” obviously refers not to the whistle of the free-falling bomb but to the crash made by the atomic explosion. We have seen that both Remarque and Hemingway were surprised that they had not heard the shells before they burst near them and that Manchester found that even veterans could not identify some flat-trajectory incoming shells. They did not know that they could not have heard them because most artillery shells, like rifle bullets, travel faster than the speed of sound, which is about 1100 feet per second, and therefore reach their target before their screams do. 366 Mediaevistik 28 · 2015

To explain how such a misunderstanding could be possible, we might mention two other uncontroversial folk-beliefs popular in the Pacific war. One of these was the belief in the “Imperial Japanese Marines,” a vast force of warriors who come from an island near Japan and are all over six feet tall and who cry “Tojo, Tojo” during their suicide charges. Many an ardent intelligence officer tried to disabuse his men of this belief, but in vain, even if he asked them whether they would die crying “Secretary Forrestal, Secretary Forrestal.” The so-called Imperial Japanese Marines were in actuality merely naval landing forces, who were scorned by the better trained and better armed Imperial Army. Their gigantic stature was suggested by their bloated corpses that were busting out of their uniforms and gave the appearance of mammoth size. The belief in the “Imperial Japanese Marines” is easy to explain. Since, in their own minds, the U.S. Marines were so infinitely superior to the U.S. Army, a Japanese army man would not be a worthy opponent for a U.S. Marine. Therefore the Marines created a race of marines worthy of their steel, and this fiction was still strong until the very end of the war. Feifer gives two examples of Marines sending home Japanese Imperial Marine uniforms and Nip Marine insignia as souvenirs. Manchester first refers to these armed swab-jockies as “Japanese Special Landing Forces: Japanese Marines”, but later he just calls them “Jap Marines” and “Japanese Marines”. Few authors cared to incur to U.S. Marines’wrath by saying that there were no “Imperial Japanese Marines”; but Costello at least had the cour- age to put the word in quotation marks. Another cherished folk-belief was that the Japanese said “So solly please.” Numerous devoted language officers tried to convince our Marines that the Japanese would have said “So sorry, prease.” One language officer must have succeeded half way. Finding he could not disabuse his men of their belief that the Japanese could not pronounce an R, he added the letter L. Thirty-five years after the war Manchester still clung to this cherished belief and objected to the password and countersign – “lollypop” and “lallygag” because he thought the Japanese could not pronounce the sound R. The Japanese say and Rashomon with no difficulty, soR is no problem. It is the Chinese who say “So solly please,” as well as “flied lice.” Despite the interpreters’ efforts, many Marines continued to shoot at anyone who said L instead of R. The myth of the sound of the incoming shell, although generally accepted, may well belong in the category of the Imperial Japanese Marines who say “So solly, please.” The belief in the sound of the incoming shell is well illustrated by Sgt. Wilcox’s reaction men- tioned above. Thinking he hears a shot headed for him, he falls to the ground and concludes that the shell passed only three feet above him and hit the earth behind him. If the shell was only a yard above him yet continued some yards behind him, it would have had to be a very very flat trajectory. It is far more likely that the shell was arching down and that he heard it as it screeched far over his head. The same would be true of Graves’ above-mentioned experience, and it is easier to agree with the observation of his friend Siegfried Sassoon, who also served on the Western Front but made no use of the incoming shell theme and said that “you couldn’t hear the shells coming.” Mediaevistik 28 · 2015 367

All soldiers subjected to artillery barrages have heard the scream of an overheard shell, a truly terrifying sound, yet one that should reassure the person hearing it that he is safe from it, even if not from the next shot. Let us suppose that the battle is being fought on level ground and that the flash of the gun can be seen (in actuality, present-day guns are usually on a reverse slope or well concealed. Also, whereas earlier guns shot black powder that made conspicious dark clouds of smoke, modern ones use a powder that makes only a wisp of pale vapor). Let us further assume that the gun is two thousand yards from the front and is aimed too high. Under such conditions, the sequence of events could be more or less as follows. The man under fire first sees the flash of the gun in front of him. Then, some three seconds later, he sees the flash of the detonating shell behind him. Almost simultaneously, he hears the screech of the shell passing overhead. Since most flat trajectory shells, like most rifle slugs, travel initially at some 3,000 feet per second, the shell would take two seconds to pass over the target area and another to hit the ground behind the target. The speed of sound being about 1100 feet per second, the sound of the cannon would not reach the target area for some six seconds. The interval between the flash of the gun and the sound of the gun would be the same as the interval between a flash of lightning and the subsequent sound of thunder. By a strange coincidence, I have just discovered that similar phenomena had been ob- served by a young surgeon aboard the Lackawanna in the battle of Mobile Bay in the Amer- ican Civil War when a columbiad was hurled toward his ship: “It is a curious sight to catch a single shot from so heavy piece of ordnance. First you see the puff of white smoke upon the distant ramparts, and then you see the shot coming, looking exactly as if some gigantic hand has thrown in play a ball toward you. By the time it is half way, you get the boom of the report, and then the howl of the missile, which apparently grows so rapidly in size that every green hand on board who can see it is certain that it will hit him between the eyes. Then, as it goes past with a shriek like a thousand devils, the inclination to do reverence is so strong that it is almost impossible to resist it.” Here we see that the missile was not aimed at the narrator but well over his head, and that is the reason he could hear it. What the surgeon on the Lackawanna said of the ballistics of the columbiad holds, of course, for bullets, as anyone knows who has manned the butts on the rifle range, where the slug hits the target long before the whistle is heard. Ambrose Bierce tells of a Southern saboteur who, while being hanged, has a fantasy that his rope has broken and that he has fallen into a rapid stream. Then “the sound of a clear, high voice came across the water with a distinctness that pierced and subdued all other sounds.” This “high voice” must have been the whistle of the bullet rather than the firing of the rifle. If the bullet was a minié ball, it may well have left the muzzle at supersonic speed and slowed down only a little on its short flight. By the twentieth century it was generally agreed that you could not hear an incoming rifle slug. As a cowboy said in a paperback I read many years ago, “You never hear the bul- let that kills you.” Graves wrote: “And whereas we could usually hear a shell approaching, and take some sort of cover, the rifle-bullet gave no warning. So, though we learned not 368 Mediaevistik 28 · 2015 to duck a rifle-bullet because, once heard, it must have missed, it gave us a worse feeling of danger.” The only author I have found who denied the sound of the incoming shell was François Ponthier. In his L’Homme de Guerre of 1957 he quotes a German officer as saying that “one never hears the ball or the bomb or the shell that is going to kill you […]. They go faster than sound, so why worry?” The above sequence of events holds for all shells propelled at speeds greater than that of sound, as most of them are. There are still a few subsonic guns, but they are rare and surely not represented in the examples given above. Graves described a German canister full of scrap metal that could be heard approaching and looked harmless in the air and was fired from a wooden cannon. Muzzle velocity is, of course, not maintained: shells lose momen- tum because of air resistence, so that a shell fired at barely supersonic speed may reach its target at subsonic speed and therefore arrive after its sound. However, he interval in these rare cases would be negligible and insufficient to “prolongue the macabre suspense,” or cause a “protracted and sickening apprehension,” or “take some sort of cover.” Because Uhland’s grenadiers were advancing in step, they probably were doing so in the late eighteenth century, when musket balls travelled only some 850 feet per second, a bit under the speed of sound. However, muskets were seldom fired at more than one or two hundred feet (“Don’t fire till you see the whites of their eyes!”), so the ball that killed our comrade probably was no warning to take cover. Manchester claims that, even though the screaming meemies shrieked when launched, “they approached their targets silently.” It is ironic that these authors could not hear the slow-traveling mortar shells, whereas they claimed to hear the sound of flat, or almost flat, trajectory shells that travel faster than the speed of sound. It may seems strange that so many people tremble at the sound of the shell coming at them, since the shell would have arrived before its whistle. Even those so advised usually duck or fall to the ground as a normal and unconcious reaction. Once, when taking a boat tour of Bruges, I noticed that everyone ducked every time we went under the many bridges, even though all the bridges were a good yard above their heads. Few people fail to duck when boarding a helicopter. Is the theme of the sound of the incoming shell a literary topos or a bit of folk know- ledge, or both? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? When used by a novelist who has not been in combat, it is probably a literary topos, unless he has talked with a man who had been under fire. In this case, the informant may actually have heard the approached of a subsonic missile, but it is far more likely that, having been mentally conditioned to hear a shell coming, he heard it because he expected to hear it. Literary authors have surely helped a battlefield myth become a soldier’s gospel. Mediaevistik 28 · 2015 369
