Re:The Enemy Among Us - 2005/05/04 10:02
This message posted originally at the old boards by guest JDM. Thanks for sharing, Jay!!
During the war my mother (who lived in leadwood) used to watch the big trucks (probably duece and a halfs) open air ..loaded with POWs ..on their way to Wiengarten she said they looked hollowed eyed, frightened, and utterly defeated. She thought most of them were italians but didnt know for sure.
She said that bringing them through the country side like that was a shock..that the enemy were people too..in fact most looked more like boys than men.
just an old memory..
