Canadians, weary of winter,

creasing numbers to Rt away

freezing.
Colleagues casually mention
that they're off to the Caribbean

or some such exotica. It's con-
sidered passe these days to go
merely to Florida. '
. Students will be descending in
throngs on places like Athens,

Chief reason is that air travel is
no longer for the rich only.
Package deals and charter
flights put a mid -winter break

don't respect and admire my
father-in-law, but for some
reason I chose Germany.
I hope I get a better reception
than I did last time I visited that
country. .
Last time I ventured into Ger-
many was almost thirty years
ago. There was a fairly large and
_assorted company in the group I
travelled with: privates, cor-
porals, sergeants and one Flying
Officer—me.
We had no trouble getting into
Germany, even though we had no
passports. Perhaps it was be-
cause of the efficiency of our tour
guides. There were eight of them,
and they were extremely at-
tentive. They would even accom-
pany one when one had to relieve

The guides were tastefully ar-
rayed in field -gray, and hatl simi-
lar accessories—guns.
I can't kick, however. I'll bet I
was the only POW who rode
across the German border on a
bicycle. I couldn't walk because
of a well -aimed kick on the knee-
cap, and they were sure as hell
not going to carry me, so they let
me ride one of their bikes.
I'll never forget the first place
we stayed at, in Germany. It was
my first taste of that old-world
charm. It lacked a few of the
amenities we spoiled North
Americans are accustomed to,
but it had a quaintness all its own.
It was a barn. There was nobody
there but us chickens, the cattle,
and the tour guides.
At that, it was practically cosy
after a couple of weeks living in a
box -car, in Holland. It was a mite
chilly, being November; but we
paired off and curled up in the
hay, like so many sets4af spoons. I \
drew a big, ugly Canadian '
private from St. Catharines with
a bullet wound in his neck which
stank a bit. But he was warm.
One of our next stops was the
delightful old city of Brunswick.
where we spent an enchantieig
three hours in the air raid she/ter,
during a raid. It was worth it: The
German equivalent of Red Cross
ladies gave us coffee, ersatz k?ut
hot, the first hot drink we'd had
for days.
Some other highlights of my
visit were: the interrogation
centre and "solitary"' near
Frankfort; rolling on a train
through a night attack on 4eipzig;
windows shattering, flares and
bombs falling ; a look from a train
at the appalling rubble of Ham-
burg; hitch -hiking back from
deep inside the Russian lines to
Rostock; a visit to the concentra-
tion camp at Celle.
This visit couldn't be more
interesting, but it should be more
comfortable. I'm not going by bi-
cycle, but by jet: And my kid
brother, the Colonel, is over
there. He didn't know enough to
get out of the air force„ and has
nothing to look forward to but a
big, fat pension any day now. tut
he'd better have the band out, the
red carpet down, and the lieb-
fraumilch laid on, or he's in deep
trouble.
