OJT, ON A. LIMB
RY
WITH BILL. SMILEY
In a chat with one of the teach,
ers at'the IHigh•Sehool Open House
the other night, I got a severe jolt.
Talking of the pupils, he remarked:
"It's. hard to believe that most, of
the kids in "high school don't re-
member the war." '''He pointed .out
that they were either toddlers or
in diapers, when the war ended,
13 years ago.
* * d:
must admit it upset me. Made
me feel old 'and sad. However, that
night in bed, 1 reminisced, and
cheered up considerably 'as I re-
called the exciting, even happy
days of,.May,-11145.
* M *
-I-wasn't in -diapers -when -the -waw
ended. I was in jail. Me and
10,000. other knights of . the air,
whose Pegasi (a pre -jet model) had
been shot out from under them.
* * ,*
We had reason to be somewhat
less, than ecstatic, when Mr.
Churchill announced that the con-
quered people of Europe were at
last -free. About -May 5th,. our
German guards had folded their
glockenspiels and' crept away into
the night.
,,.e.: .. _... .fort-4n..a ., . .. .....- ... ..�._..,,,
We scarcely iia l time to • pour
into the countryside, drink every-
thing we could lay hands on, start
affairs with all the,German girls,
and slaughter a few dozen head
of beef for a massive barbecue,
when our gallant allies, the Rus-"
signs, arrived, and herded us all
back behind barbed wire. We'd
merely exchanged one set of scowl-
ing guards for anomer, complete
with burp .guns.
, * s: *
So there we sat and sulked,,while
roisterers__.,.roistered in times
Square and Piccadilly Circus, cele-
brating the end of the affair. The
war 'was over and we were still
on the cabbage soup and black
bread circuit. .
*
Day after day we waited for the
aircraft which were supposed to
come and 'fiy us home. Finally; a
few of us, driven to despair by the
.thought of -all- those beautiful wo-
men, brussels sprouts and ' other
delicacies on the outside, revolted.
* ,;;.
And so it came about that, just
13 years ago this week, 1 was walk-
ing down the highway from Ros-
tock to Wiesmar, .a song in. my
heart, a blister on my heel, a vac-
cuum in my stomach, and a very
rugged character frotn Chicago,
Tony Manoli, by my side.
• * *
..91S:iX.4wurs k'before, --we'rd 5 crawled
•on our bellies between two sen-
tries, after cutting the wire with
homemade shears. Then we'd run,
in the dark, with a speed and sil-
ence that amazes me still, waiting
for the shout or the b -u -u -r -r -r -r -p.
Jolly!
* * *
But that was behind, Ahead -lay
90 miles and three days in a coun-
try in chaos, swarming with people
of every nationality, Baits, Steve;
French, German and Russian,
slaves and. soldiers. We •learned
that nobody, travels as fast and as
-free -is-the-man-who- -has--nothing.-
* * *
We walked riles., We feasted
and we starved. We lode in every --
thing, from a two -horse landaulet,
driven by a tough qqld German lady
who spoke about Shake'apeare; to a
big Buick sedan, driven by a drunk-
en Russian officer who scared the
'living ectoplasm out of, us. ,
* * *
We drank a pitcher of warm
milk, proffered by a young German
girl,, who told us, with what seemed
remarkable unconcern, that she'd
been raped •by Russians four times
in four days. The same . evening,
under a railroad bridge, we roasted
stolen ducks over a fire and shared
a couple of bottles of bingo with
some Rusaian soldiers.
* * *.
Tony fell in love with as ,,blond'
French refugee, and fell out again
just as quickly when her husband,
.i large, darks 'fierce man, material -
zed and began scratching his dan-
Jruff with an eight -inch knife. I
had a fight' with a Yugo -Slav (a
;mall orae) when he tried to steal
>ome cigarettes Tony had stolen
Brom an even smaller Italian. A
free-for-all started, but nobody'd
liad much to eat for a year or so, j
And the rest.il•tant bloodshed was
what. -you miglft see if a couple of
members of. the Over40 Club had
a pillow fight. '" a
•* * *
And so it went, in a hundred
other incidents. When we finally
gained the British lines, we stop-
ped and looked back into that sea
of humanity in which we had sport-
ed, swum, and sometinies nearly
drowned4 ' 'We bade it goodbye
wordlessly, sadly, before turning
and walking into the desert of
organized, sensible, disciplined liv-
14
ing again.
