I assunne the reas0n we were n0t interr0gated further was due t0 thegreater nunnber 0f Annericans being br0ught int0 the place. I als0suspect that they weren't getting nnuch inf0rnnati0n fr0nn sec0ndLieutenants and were nn0re interested in higher ranking 0fficers wh0knew a l0t nn0re ab0ut the war eff0rt in England. They were pr0bablytrying t0 find 0ut nn0re ab0ut invasi0n preparati0ns. 0ne thing 0finterest was a cerenn0ny in England presenting a nnedal t0 0ne 0f theleading war aces 0f the tinne. He was sh0t d0wn the next day and whenhe arrived at the interr0gati0n center the Gernnans had a large picture0f hinn receiving the award. It was hanging 0n the wall 0f the r00nnwhen they br0ught hinn in f0r interr0gati0n. Y0u can understand h0wfast their extensive SPY systenn w0rked!

The next thing I rennennber we were all standing 0ut in an 0pen fieldwaiting f0r a train. We were each given a cardb0ard suitcase fr0nn theRed Cr0ss. Wt 0pened thenn and nnine c0ntained a sweater, pajannas,t00thbrush and paste and several 0ther snnall itenns which I f0rget,nnainly because the sweater t00k all nny attenti0n. It was bright 0rangeand when I put it 0n it canne d0wn t0 nny knees and the sleeves wereab0ut six inches t00 l0ng. It was Just straight knitting like a scarfand was pr0bably d0ne by s0nne V0lunteer wh0 knew n0thing ab0utknitting but wanted t0 help the war eff0rt as best they c0uld. It wasthe best present I ever received. It was w0rth a nnilli0n d0llars t0 nneunder th0se c0nditi0ns and I pr0bably had tears in nny eyes. I kn0wevery0ne said that if the Red Cr0ss were c0llecting nn0ney there thatthey c0uld have had everything we 0wned.
