I asked Jean Borotra, however, to tell General Weygand that I refused to shake hands with a man who had brought about the surrender of France in defiance of the pledgee that had been given.

And that I also refused to sit at the same table with him. General Gamelin felt the same way about It, and so did Michel Clemenceau, who had just arrived. A seperale table was arranged nt which General and Madame Weygand took their meals. They had as companions Borotra, the tennis star, and Colonel de la tisan we knew as Andre, and tie other was a Yugoslav patriot named They were very use ful to ns, particularly at the end of our Imprisonment.

The result will be that you will come under the orders of the Allied military authorities. They will hold you resporsible.

In this way we avoided giving our warders the satisfaction of being onlookers at a quarrel be. tween us. All the time I was working steadily at my books. Fearlnp that the Germans might confiscate it, I hid one copy In a place where they were unlikely to look for it This was large, empty room where the skirting board was at one placd ilightly separated from the" wall.

No doubt these docu ments are still hidden there. We were on good terms with two other prisoners, attached to u. as servants. One was a Czech par steps against me, and that he would connive at my escape if it were possible. On the morning of May 3, the captain told us he intended to evacuate the castle with his S.S.

force, and he asked us to give him a testimonial to his fair treatment of us. My own view was that we should not do so, since we would not he safe until the castle was actually occupied by the Americans. However we did give It to him; but not until we had obtained possession of some arms. For myself I took a tommy gun and some ammuni tion. Clemenceau and I walked down into the vilalge.

The Austrian flag, white and red, was everywhere. We went along the road down which Wehrmaeht troons were! pouring westward.

There were no Americana at Worgel. A man told Andre that the Wehrmaeht wanted to stop fighting under the terms of the agreement reached In Italy between Gen. Sir Harold Alexander and the commander of the German troops in Italy and Austria; but that the S.S. was fighting on. Eventually Andre found a Lee of the American armored corps.

That evening Captain Lee and some American soldiers arrived at the castle. But it wasn't all over yet Next morning, quite early, bullets began to hit the front of the castle. The 8.8. was attacking us. Later they brought artillery to bear.

Part of the castle tur ret crashed to the ground in front of us, and an American tank standing before the entrance went up in flames. Captain Lee posted a man with a machine gun at the window oi my room. From this position he could command the entrance of the castle. The rest of us went to th other side of the castle to defend the walk around It against an attack, though the ground sloped steeply here. Andre, slipping through the pine trees, made his way to Worgel again.

There he reported our plight to the main American force that had come up. Meanwhile Lee ordered hand grenades thrown into the wooded ravine from where the attack was most likely to come. At length we heard sounds of a skirmish between American tanks coming to our help and the S.S.' From that moment the game was won. By early afternoon we had been liberated, while, at the entrance of the castle, the American tank was still burning. (World Strial Copyrtfht RHtrvae.
