 | | For the 130 of us who arrived at Luckenwalde's Stalag IIIA, 35 miles south of Berlin, early in March 1945, just the prospect of sleeping under a roof again seemed fortunate. |
 | | In comparison to those in the other compounds of the camp, like our own enlisted men, the Italian forced-labor prisoners, and especially the Russians (in five years some 15,000 of them were said to have died at Luckenwalde in two typhus epidemics and from tuberculosis), we were a privileged minority. |
 | | And, of course, all of us at Luckenwalde were infinitely better off than many displaced German civilians, or the Jews, Poles and political prisoners in such camps as Buchenwald and Dachau. |
