P19 As the men worked around the machine, Volker-"
Say Gunther, I know you , Me and Franz meet you at Lucida's
bar one night remember." Gunther-"Oh ja, Thats right, you are the
one that punched me threw Lucida's mirror. HEE HEE. That was some night.
I didn't get over that hangover till next afternoon when I found myself in an
alley with a bad headache and my wallet gone." Volker-" Did
you ever get your pants fixed? It was split down the seams and flapping
in the wind. HA, Ha Ha." Gunther-" I never did get to the bottom of
that. I probably had to much englanta gin. " Volker-"Had it ,
you swam in it. HA HA HA."
P20 Gunther- " Say Volker, Vear
is Franz anyway, Is he still in love with his lucky pistol?" Volker-
" Franz is dead, he was killed in the invasion. He was buried
somewhere near Normandy. I'll miss him a lot. I hate this %$#@^&*
war." Gunther-" Thats to bad ,he was a nice fellow. Say
what was the story of his gun?" Volker-"The gun belonged to
his father . He was assigned to the Eastern front during WW1. His
father was being attacked by many enemy troops. His machinegun jammed
so he took a Luger off a dead comrade and managed to wipe out the entire
enemy platoon with it, so they say. Anyway as the story goes on ,his
father carried the gun on the front always and he never got a scratch. One
time when he was on leave to visit little Franz and his Mom. He
left the gun behind accidentally. When he went back to the front he was
killed in a trench. Franz's Mom upon hearing of his demise was so
heartbroken that she took the Gun and killed herself with it ."
Gunther-" was that the gun Franz carried, the one he called "Gretta".
Volker- "Yes, Gretta was his mothers name. The gun became his
legacy." Gunther -" If the gun was supposed to bring Franz good luck
why did he perish with it?" Volker- " I don't know why, In war
who knows? But I have a feeling that the Amerkaner with the
green face that has his gun is somehow attached to the whole thing. I
want to find him." Ferdinand-" Have you lazy cows yip yapped

P25- Fritz - "The Berge Panzer is ready
