the shot OF a rife and the
sound Of splintering glass.
That happened often, The
Searchhght had spotted a
prisoner looking out of the
window and the sentry IN the

that way. but the window was
shattered and the cell became
a pneumonia trap.

arms around the tree. A
trooper grunted.

They beat me till | sagged
into the snow. They stretched
me out on the ground and
beat me more. Then they
took off their shoulder straps
and with them they struck
me in the face. When the
headlights of a car came near,
they stopped beating.

that tree and fasten your
pants"
After the car had passed we
marched back. At times l

stood aside and gave me a
chance 10 rest. The sentry
at the gate seized my throat
and shook me 10 and fro.
