Day 86 - The VonRunstedt Attack Plan!

"The year was quickly coming to an end for all of us and with the rapidly moving passage of time came a lot of happenings and changes.  At about this time, the weather before our early morning commando was becoming very nippy.


One morning, a new jet fighter zoomed noisily over our heads - we thought it was something from another world.  It was too noisy and speedy for us to make anything of it but the noise and speed spoke for itself.  I would say we barely got a glimpse!!!!! Just like Auschwitz,  we didn't always have to see exactly what was happening to know what was happening - it was there alright !!!!!!


I had now been reassigned to the police college for the rehabilitation of S.S. invalids.  Some of the people had limbs missing and others had come from the front after becoming handicapped.   I was now helping with the cleaning of the classrooms, kitchen and store rooms.


One day, after a particular lecture, I witnessed some of the S.S. invalids studying new strategies!  On this occasion, I saw plans pertaining to a particular goal, The VonRunstedt Attack Plan  - it was drawn in chalk on the blackboard.............
