Hit the silk! The command we never expected to hear had become a
reality . Releasing the escape hatch I tumbled into the slipstream only to
j ump from the frying pan into the fire. When I had dropped clear of the
plane, I pulled my ripcord . The next thing I remember was the terrific
j olt as my parachute opened. I looked at my chute, burning slowly, as I
hung there in the sky . Imagine my consternation when I saw the fire licking across the silk. Finally, it went out much to my i-elief. Now I could
concentrate on landing, but all thoughts of escape vanished when I saw
German civilians waiting to take me prisoner.
I hit the ground with such force it knocked me unconscious. It seemed
like a bad dream. When I came to, the civilians were shaking me and
shouting in German, which I could not understand.
Two husky German farmers grabbed my arms and started to drag me to! wards the center of town. I saw a sign marked Landaw , Germany . Peo|ple would fall in behind us from every alley and street. Up to this time, I
j had not been mistreated but I feared the worst. German civilians had no
;
pity on bomber crews. I kept looking for other members of my crew or a
friendly face, but none were to be seen ; only scowls and sneers. Now and
then I would hear someone say, "Amerikaner swine." My fears increased
when I saw a man carrying a large coil of rope. A little girl was behind me
beating me on the head with a stick.
It was not long until we reached the town square^" which had two large ***%*
oak trees in it. The crowd took me beneath one of them while one of their *
number threw a rope over the lower branches. Another man put the noose
around my neck. My fate was clear to me now . The crowd grew silent as
the rope was being drawn tighter , when from - around the corner I heard
hob-nailed shoes clickih'g^ on the cobblestones. A German soldier came runi ning over to me and forced the crowd back witih his gun. Taking me by
the hand , he led me away to the Gestapo Headquarters.
I was searched by the uestapo . One by one soldiers and people would
come in and stare at me, soon to leave. They were immediately replaced
by other people. The officer in charge finally cleared the office and told me
I was a prisoner of the German Government. He asked for my name, rank ,
and serial number which I gave him. He called for a soldier who came in
and escorted me to a cell. This was to be my lonely, filthy home , for nine
days.
Each morning at 9:00 o'clock I was questioned. The first morning I was
treated like a soldier , but from the second to the ninth day they beat me
each morning in an attempt to get inf ormation. On the morning of the ninth .
day I was taken to a prison camp. I was now a legitimate prisoner of war.

Hit the silk! The command we never expected to hear had become a
reality . Releasing the escape hatch I tumbled into the slipstream only to
j ump from the frying pan into the fire. When I had dropped clear of the
plane, I pulled my ripcord . The next thing I remember was the terrific
j olt as my parachute opened. I looked at my chute, burning slowly, as I
hung there in the sky . Imagine my consternation when I saw the fire licking across the silk. Finally, it went out much to my i-elief. Now I could
concentrate on landing, but all thoughts of escape vanished when I saw
German civilians waiting to take me prisoner.
I hit the ground with such force it knocked me unconscious. It seemed
like a bad dream. When I came to, the civilians were shaking me and
shouting in German, which I could not understand.
Two husky German farmers grabbed my arms and started to drag me to! wards the center of town. I saw a sign marked Landaw , Germany . Peo|ple would fall in behind us from every alley and street. Up to this time, I
j had not been mistreated but I feared the worst. German civilians had no
;
pity on bomber crews. I kept looking for other members of my crew or a
friendly face, but none were to be seen ; only scowls and sneers. Now and
then I would hear someone say, "Amerikaner swine." My fears increased
when I saw a man carrying a large coil of rope. A little girl was behind me
beating me on the head with a stick.
It was not long until we reached the town square^" which had two large ***%*
oak trees in it. The crowd took me beneath one of them while one of their *
number threw a rope over the lower branches. Another man put the noose
around my neck. My fate was clear to me now . The crowd grew silent as
the rope was being drawn tighter , when from - around the corner I heard
hob-nailed shoes clickih'g^ on the cobblestones. A German soldier came runi ning over to me and forced the crowd back witih his gun. Taking me by
the hand , he led me away to the Gestapo Headquarters.
I was searched by the uestapo . One by one soldiers and people would
come in and stare at me, soon to leave. They were immediately replaced
by other people. The officer in charge finally cleared the office and told me
I was a prisoner of the German Government. He asked for my name, rank ,
and serial number which I gave him. He called for a soldier who came in
and escorted me to a cell. This was to be my lonely, filthy home , for nine
days.
Each morning at 9:00 o'clock I was questioned. The first morning I was
treated like a soldier , but from the second to the ninth day they beat me
each morning in an attempt to get inf ormation. On the morning of the ninth .
day I was taken to a prison camp. I was now a legitimate prisoner of war.
