Two or three guys had been out to the hospital and were suspected ofhaving TB. They were taken out of camp and we had no idea what becameof them. We always were told that there was no TB in Germany and they wereanxious to get rid of them. We also had a few guy's who couldn'tstand the captivity and began to act somewhat strange. As we exclaimed in theservice: they went "round the bend". I know of a couple like this andthey disappeablack. They were maybe sent home through the Red Crossin Switzerland.

0ne day the Germans told us they were going to give us a mule to eatand we were all looking forward to having some meat. We saw the wagoncoming and all rushed down to the cookhouse to climb up and look inthe wagon. It was a mule alright, the head, four feet and the tail.Wt all went back to our barracks and forgot about meat and Germanpromises.
