The sun beamed high in the sky, the temperture was well over 30 and birds chirped. It was a peaceful day in Padova Italy, people were all through the streets going about their buisness. Private Detrich Stigler of the 442nd Whermacht division sat on a grassy hill with afew commrades relaxing in the sun, the wore their breaches,jackboots and suspenders for they had disguarded everything else on account of the heat:
"Detrich are you comming to town with us later? we got passes!"
Exclaimed another one of the soldiers while pouring little drops of water out of his canteen onto his face
Detrich nodded then replyed:
"it's too fucking hot! i am going swiming!"
The others jumped up grabbing their gear then speeding off towards the lake at the bottom of the hill:
"wait for me you idiots! it was my idea!!"
Yelled Detrich putting on his cap and gragging his equipmet
Detrich Stigler joined the army to see more of the world, he was curious as most 17 year old boys were at that present time. Once in Italy the word COMBAT didn't apply yet for the men hadn't seen it..well not all of them.
At the lake all 4 of the German Soldiers jumped in the lake with a dive off a small dock, the water was warm and relaxing. During the swim loud explosions were heard across town:
"what in the hell was that??" yelled one of Detrich's commrades climbing out of the water scurrying for his bonoculars, he turned with a horrifyed look on his face:
"AMERIKANS! AMERIKANS! GET YOUR STUFF!! THEY MOVE ON THE TOWN!"
All the soldiers scurried out of the water quickly dressing then running full speed the distance of about 1 mile into town, Detrich did up his belt over his tunic, attached his helmet then ran with them holding his Kar98.
They reached the gates of the town gasping for breath, simply exausted:
"what do we do Hans?" Asked Detrich
Hans Fleiger was the Sargent of this group, he faught in North Afrika untill he was wounded in the neck by 3 peices of shrapnal:
"Detrich,Martin and Albert with me, Daniel, lutzow and phillip with Nickolas ja?"
The soldiers nodded and took off into action shaking with excitement and fear.....
