We couldn‘t do much with those two weapons but they made us feel safe. A group of soldiers crossed the road in front of the house in the ditch. These guys were talking in German. The leader said, ‘Stop here. We‘ll wait for the others to meet us.‘ I thought a German patrol moved into our area. I didn‘t know if I should shoot or run. It turned out that a group of wounded German prisoners were visiting our unit for medical help." War brought a few funny moments too, Schmidt says.

About five years ago, I had my first flashback. It was real. I‘d have sworn by it. I remembered the padre bringing in this chap with is arms and his legs blown off.
