軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

Men in blue stripes uniform emaciated, standing along the highway as we drove by. They were staring at us wondering who we were. Camped nearby for the day and had dinner. One of the prisoner came along and stuck his head into the container for the discarded food. To this day I still wonder what happened to him, perhaps a big stomach ache or worse. At Dachau camp, saw large and small ovens - human ashes made into large capsule piled along the wall.

Freedom to come and go without a pass.

個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと
