Default sad

Yes I thought it was a true insight into the event as told by one of the very last living vets of the time and place . And I agree , the treatment by the guards was much more harsh than I had thought previously. Imagine walking from France to Poland ..without food or water ... living off grass and flowers found -scrounged in fields . In the interview ,he came across as being such a reticent character as well , not boastful in any way .
