The War Ends in Holland

When the war finished I was in Eindhoven in Holland the day the war, well I was in over the border in Germany, three or four of my friends and myself actually. We went in from Eindhoven, we were in to pick up some tools because the place had been bombed out and those machines had, not for us but for you know, for the unit. When we come back we didn’t know what to think of it. I mean everybody, women, men, girls all riding the jeeps and the cars and everyone going mad. That was the fifth, I believe the fifth of May and I had a few francs and I paid 80 guilders for a bottle of Johnny Walker.
