Captured from a German Officer

I for one cannot speak for all of the WW-II GI's, but I for one had no problem spotting a german officer.

There bearing and attitude when captured was nothing short of rediculus, when ordered to throw down their weapons they usually spoke to an american GI as though they demanded the same respect and treatment as they would get from a german soldier.

SUPERISE !, SURPRISE !, They soon learened that the point of a bayonet looked very convincing when accompanied with a loud "MACH SNELL, SCHWINE HUND". a slap on a rifle and pointing to the ground

They usually responded quickly.

And then they screamed for an Officer to surrender to,

Funny, Funny Fellows !
