The Toltecs, he said, were
adept at architecture and built
many temples and cities. They
made beautiful pottery, which
they glazed with liquid from the

stown in weaving and making
jewelry.
Martin said the Toltecs were
the first to use cement in con

pyramids, superior to those Of
Egypt, were built for worship
only and were not used as tombs.
Constructed chiefly of lava rocl
and terra Gotta, the pyramids

the perpetrators were caught.
When we finally started our
march to the rear under German
army guards. our prisoner group
totaled Ia.
The daily ration was one small
piece of bread per man. and can
teen of water for the group of us
when we could find the water. For
one 48-hour stretch we had neither
food nor water. The guards ex-
planned that they had ration tick
cts for Our food, but that no one
would honor them when it was
learned that the food was for pris-
oners.
III Remainder Them
BUT we'll probably forget our
hunger and thirst and bleeding
feet. As for the citizens who made
our long march a game of run-the-
gauntlet. I'll remember them a
long time. In town after town there
was little difference in the treat
ment we got.
But l remember Dillenburg par
ticularly well because of one small
boy. He was at the boy-scout age
and l could well imagine he was
leader of the local Hitler Youth.
He followed us the length of the
town, hitting us with any loose
debris he could find. But l was
more impressed with his verbal
haranguing and the way he spit at
us. put him down as the model
1OO-per-cent Nazi, and young
ster who would openly defy the
might of the onrushing Allies.
Perhaps that's the reason felt
my judgment had tricked me when
/ spied him on our return trip.
Only two days had passed, but in
that time we had been freed by the
advancing American forces. There
he stood on the main corner,
fanked by his little gang. In one
hand he held a long stick like
the one with which he had
threatened to beat me for be-
ing . numbering pig. Only this
time there was a white pillow slip
high up on the end of it. With his
right hand he was giving a very
good imitation of an American
salute, and on his face was a smile
of welcome.
He made quite a little picture
and no one could blame the newly
arrived Americans for smiling back.
On the other hand, no one could
blame the Ia of US who didn't.

The Ia Americans were
not taken in by this
phony German welcome
1T WAS hard to believe that Dill
lenburg, Germany, was the
same town we had passed through
only 48 hours before. On March
9th we had been IA emaciated
prisoners of war, footsore and weak
from days of marching on empty
stomachs. That day the citizens of
Dillenburg had run after us. threat
ening to take the guns away from
our guards and kill us then and
there.
Now, two days later, we were
marching back through Dillen-
burg under escort of the American
Army that had freed us in quick
thrust toward Kassel. And now
Dillenburg wore different face.
White bedsheets waved from the
windows. and the people called to
us with friendly greetings.
But Dillenburg had treated us
no worse than did other towns dur
ing our long trek as prisoners. The
Fortress which l piloted was
knocked out by flax over
Schwelm, little town some 80
miles northeast of Cologne.
The last three of us to bail out
landed close together. and in few
minutes the local police had us IN
tow. 1t was several hours before
we were taken to the nearest Ger
man command post, where we
found the rest of our crew.
Fun for the Citizens
DURING that several hours the
citizens of Schwelm had their fun.
My worst bruise came from two
by-two that was broken over my
head. My waist gunner will prob
ably always be deaf in one ear from
well-aimed brick. And my navl-
gator is displaying some very fancy
stitching in his scalp. Far from
protecting us against such sport.
the local police took an active part
from time to time with the butts
of their guns.
In fact, at one point the police
had a heated discussion as to
whether or not they should shoot
us. l understood enough German
to know that no consideration was
being given the rules of warfare.
