Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Link, Vol. 5: June, 1947 No, ma´m, all the way up from the Normandy beaches to the Rhine, I never got a scratch - not to count: nothing ever came over with my number on it, though our outfit saw plenty of action. Oh, sure, I was in tight places all right. The worst? I´ll never forget it and - I wouldn´t exactly want it broadcast, but I don´t mind telling it to you. It happened so long ago or - Not so long ago either, when you come to think of it, but so much has happened since then and today everything looks so different. Sometimes it seems like it all happened to another fellow and - Well, in a way, it did. You see this hot spot of mine wasn´t during the war. It came afterwards, months afterwards, when everything was supposed to be peaceful and was peaceful - too peaceful. The worst thing for a soldier isn´t action: don´t ever let anybody tell you it is. It´s monotony; one day just like another, day after day, nothing to do, nothing worth doing. No place to go! Sometimes I don´t wonder so many fellows went to the devil: sometimes I wonder more of ´em didn´t. It was right in the middle of our worst spell that Juke Zaeske got hold of me. Afterwards, I found out he´d dragged in a bunch of other fellows, who didn´t really know what it was all about. But not me - I wasn´t that dumb. In the first place, I knew Juke, knew that anything he was mixed up in - Why, that bird was too crooked to sleep in a roundhouse. And this deal! I could see in two minutes it was crooked as h - . You got to excuse me, ma´m, but, when I get to telling army stories, the cuss words just come - leave ´em out and they don´t seem like army stories. But I´ll try. We talked a time or two and I didn´t say yes or no, till one day, when I was low, Oh! way low, he came and said he had a job for me that night and I told him O.K., I´d take it. He gave me my orders, and some fake papers, and some insignia that he said might come in handy. Just pin those bars on my shoulders and I was a captain. A sentry challenged me, as I was leaving camp and I stopped. In the army, you get used to doing what you´re told to do.
