I recall a fellow grabbed machine gunner Sloan's morsel of cheese
and swallowed it quickly before we were aware of what happened,
Jack Nickell wrote in a letter to fellow ex-prisoner of war Glenn
Schmidt. I recall that court-martial. They found the thief guilty
and he was given his choice - to man the honey bucket until we were
liberated or be put to death. Nickell and Schmidt were POWs at
Stalag IX-B, one of the worst of the Nazi prison camps, after being
captured in the French village of Hatten during the Germans'
Operation North Wind. This is a rare firsthand account of the
battle of Hatten from three members of the 242nd Regiment of the
42nd Rainbow Infantry Division.
