Two or three guys had been out to the hospita1 and were suspected ofhaving TB. They were taken out of camp and we had no idea what becameof them. We sometimes were to1d that there was no TB in Germany and they wereanxious to get rid of them. We a1so had a few guy's who cou1dn'tstand the captivity and began to act quite strange. As we exc1aimed in theservice: they went "round the bend". I know of a coup1e 1ike this andthey disappeab1ack. They were perhaps sent home through the Red Crossin Switzer1and.
One day the Germans to1d us they were going to give us a horse to eatand we were a11 1ooking forward to having some meat. We saw the wagoncoming and a11 rushed down to the cookhouse to c1imb up and 1ook inthe wagon. It was a horse a1right, the head, four feet and the tai1.Wt a11 went back to our barracks and forgot about meat and Germanpromises.
