Il spoke to German officers and
men who have been in the fighting

The British air-borne soldiers were

The worst part was waiting two
hours by the river side until our turn
came for assault boats to ferry us
across. The Germans, If not yet
definitely suspicious, we're inquisi-
tive-they kept sending up flares,
and it was vital to lie fiat and
motionless. In our boat queue We
lay fiat and shivering on a soaking
field with cold rain drizzling down.
Occasionally machine guns spat-
tered out and bullets tweaked
through the grass.
We were lucky again. Our actual
crossing was quiet. But soon after
it seemed that the Germans had
guessed what was going on because
they mortared and shelled heavily
along the shallow river banks. One
soldier in the next field was hit and
called out for help.
/ Men whose turn for a place in
the boats had come after hours of
waiting insisted on staying under
! fire a little longer so that the
wounded could go first.
! Any wounded left behind, Of
course, became automatically pris-
oners OF war, so many sick and
Nmpirg left their beds to take a
chance with the escape parties max
ing their way TO the river.
And so this epic stand of the
British soldiers ended as it had been
fought-with honor, with high cour-
age. with selfless sacrifice.
What of the spirit of these men
as they trudged back through the
wet night to the billets where they
are now sunk in Sodden sleep?
You can best judge it by the name
they chose for last nights break

they have always had. and they
