Transcription

I ended up, I would say a quarter of a mile away from it and I was up on top of a hill in a little kind of a valley in the top of this hill and I flaked out I guess, went to sleep. Woke up in the morning and there was a German... I suppose, I forget what they called them, anyway he was, he was riding on a bike and he came up to the top of the hill and saw me, he fell of his bike... grabbing for his luger and came up with the luger. Then he...he... down at the bottom of the hill was a German soldier with a rifle. He had two little kids with him. I suppose he was stationed there because of the crash. So anyway, he kicked my rear-end down, till he got me down to him and then he left and the soldier was in charge. When we went on “ops”, they give us a couple of chocolate bars, you know, to last us over the trip. Well, I had these two chocolate bars and I gave them to the two kids and actually they hadn’t seen chocolate for a long time and they were saying, “Chocolate! Chocolate!” and ah... I made their day.
