"Soon we reached the old Rhine River which we crossed on a pontoon bridge which had been built very quickly! From there, we caught a train to Luxembourg which would place us right back in Belgium territory.
We were now in Arlon and on our way back to Brussels. From this point on, we were provided with plenty of good food, fresh fruit, vegetables and drinks. We were refugees so were cleared by security as soon as possible - all of us with the inherent problems that go with being a refugee!
At this point, a tall woman began airing her patriotic feelings - stating what we should do to the Boche. In the first place, I do not like that name and secondly, calling all alike people after this infamous mass murderer is wrong! Lastly, I do not believe we will go very far if we adopt such an attitude - if we do it will be proof that we haven't learned very much from all this!
A lot of people were now waiting around in hope and, more often than not in vain, for their loved ones to come back. Revenge wouldn't bring them back either, but hope may do it - in a firm belief of a better world!
When arriving back home, some fanatics were still dressed in their S.S. uniforms - which hurt to hear of such a thing - their little souls had been so badly indoctrinated that they couldn't change. The maddened crowd would either lynch, drown them, or in some cases chop their heads off before the law could stop them.
We arrived in Brussels and our arrival back went unnoticed by all - nobody had expected us back like this! A reception party has to be prepared in order to be successful! In the first place, we were quite happy to be back - that was more important than anything else!
