Eleanor Elizabeth (Lyn) Crost graduated from Pembroke College as part of the Class of 1938, and went on to a distinguished career in journalism. The Lyn Crost Papers relate to Crost's experiences as a war correspondent, covering the 100th/442nd Regimental Combat Team (an all Japanese-American unit) in Europe during World War II. As one of the few female reporters during the war, she followed this unit through Italy, France, and Germany until the war ended in 1945. This digital collection includes a selection of Crost’s wartime documents, newspaper articles, letters, and original photographs capturing the devastation of Berlin brought about by Allied bombing during the war, Berchtesgarten in ruins, refugees, and defeated German soldiers. Two particular photographs of interest are of the Hitler’s bombed out Chancellery office and an interior shot of Hitler’s bunker in Berlin with a Russian soldier standing guard.
