Book Description

Excerpt from True Stories of the Great War, Vol. 4 of 6: Tales of Adventure Heroic Deeds Exploits Told by the Soldiers, Officers, Nurses, Diplomats, Eye Witnesses About nine o'clock a peasant came to tell me the Ger mans were coming! Some one had seen them. I made the four soldiers eat, and gave them food and cigarettes to carry with them. They were ill men. After a mutual blessing they went back to await their fate. Suddenly hearing an uproar, I saw some of the bad elements of the town looting, searching for food, knock ing each other down, screaming - a horrid sight! The Jews who were always so meek, had now more self-as sertion, strutting about, stretching up until they looked inches taller. It was hard work to tear myself away from the balcony. I, too, seemed unable to control myself, running from the balcony to the child and from the child to the balcony. At eleven the streets again grew quiet, the time was near, and I saw the first pikel-haube come around the corner, ri e cocked - ou the lookout for snipers!
