Jean Timms Campbell talks about her service in the U.S Army Nurse Corps during World War Two. Campbell describes her youth and education in Ohio, working in the college infirmary before joining the Army, arriving in Scotland on VE Day, being very afraid that she would be sent to the Pacific, but ending up being assigned to the 114th General Hospital in Nuremberg, Germany. Campbell talks about her duties in the hospital, the 12 hour shifts, the patients, her living conditions, attending the Nuremberg War Crimes trials, traveling around Bavaria, being threatened with courts martial for not wearing her uniform cap in public, and finally being shipped back to States in early 1946. After the war, Campbell says that she married and started a family, returned to the nursing profession and retired in 1981. Campbell is interviewed by Dorothy M. Harrison.
