I asked him why he hired them because his military record showed he fought them from Africa to Casino. Then he told me that he was wounded in Casino, and shipped home to the GreenBrier Hotel, where German prisoners waited on the patients and took care of everything, even planting a farm so the GIs could have fresh veggies. One asked if he could procure a file, with out any fear they wanted to escape, he did and a few weeks later was presented with a beautiful stag handle hunting knife. That was prepayment for sponsorship for this imprisoned German airman that after the war he returned to Germany, send his sweetheart over with passport, then he followed knowing that his sponsor was waiting, as was his bride in American church.
