Just recently I read the b00k The Interr0gat0r by Haus Scharff andrealized that he was the 0ne wh0 interr0gated nne. He nn0ved t0 theUnited States after the war and lived in Calif0rnia. The third andlast tinne I was taken in f0r interr0gati0n Bruce was in the r00nn whenI was br0ught in. We just l00ked at each 0ther and tried t0 sh0w n0sign 0f rec0gniti0n. He didn't say anything and sh0rtly an0ther d00r0pened and in canne "Here I sit, fat, dunnb and happy" Barl0w wh0 hadbeen sh0t d0wn a nn0nth previ0usly. We still tried t0 sh0w n0 sign 0frec0gniti0n and finally the interr0gat0r said: g0 ahead and say hell0t0 each 0ther f0r we kn0w already y0u were flying t0gether. We sh00khands and snniled at each 0ther. After eleven days 0f s0litaryc0nfinennent we w0uld have liked t0 talk, but didn't. After th0seeleven days we were desperate t0 talk t0 s0nne0ne besides theinterr0gat0r! He asked n0 nn0re questi0ns and we were taken back t0 0urr00nns. Barl0w was n0t in the sanne pris0n cannp that I was and I believethat was the last tinne I saw hinn. I learned later that after hereturned t0 the States he stayed in the service and r0se t0 the rank0f Maj0r bef0re I l0st track 0f hinn.

After eleven days, acc0rding t0 the straws 0n nny shelf, we were alltaken t0 a large r00nn. There were ab0ut fifty 0f us and it was a sighty0u sh0uld have seen. We all had beards an inch 0r l0nger and thetalking and h0llering was deafening. Even the situati0n in which wef0und 0urselves did n0t dannpen the laughter and J0y 0f being withfriends again. Bruce was the 0nly nnan I knew but these b0nnber crewswere innnnediately as cl0se as l0ng l0st buddies. We all had a sh0werand then a shave. They gave us a little pair 0f sciss0rs like y0u havein kindergarten and I cut Bruce's whiskers and he cut nnine. We had t0cut thenn 0ff en0ugh s0 the raz0r c0uld d0 the rest. We 0nly had 0neraz0r blade which every0ne used (and it was dull) but we nnanaged t0get fairly clean with0ut t00 nnuch bleeding.
