Foxhole Conversion
"There are no atheists in foxholes" is an aphorism used to suggest that times of extreme stress or fear can prompt belief in a higher power. In the context of actual warfare, such a sudden change in belief has been called a foxhole conversion. The logic of the argument is also used to argue for the opposite. Origin The statement is an aphorism used to argue that people will believe in, or hope for, a higher power in times of fear or stress, such as during war ("in foxholes"). The origin of the quotation is uncertain. The U.S. military chaplain William Thomas Cummings may have said it in a field sermon during the Battle of Bataan in 1942, though scholars have been unable to find a firsthand witness to the sermon. Other sources credit Lieutenant Colonel Warren J. Clear (or the anonymous sergeant he spoke with there), who was also at Bataan and published the usage in 1942; or Lieutenant Colonel William Casey. The phrase is often attributed to war correspondent Ernie Pyle; however, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Foxhole Radio
A foxhole radio is a makeshift radio that was built by soldiers in World War II for entertainment, to listen to local radio stations using amplitude modulation. They were first reported at the Battle of Anzio, Italy, spreading later across the European and Pacific theaters. The foxhole radio was a crude crystal radio which used a safety razor blade as a radio wave detector with the blade acting as the crystal, and a wire, safety pin, or, later, a graphite pencil lead serving as the cat's whisker. The foxhole radio, like a mineral crystal radio receiver, had no power source and ran off the power received from the radio station. They were named, likely by the press, for the foxhole, a defensive fighting position used during the war. There are also accounts of prisoners of war in World War II and in the Vietnam War having constructed foxhole radios. History The maker of the first foxhole radio is unknown, but it was almost certainly invented by a soldier stationed at the ...
