“Our section chief found himself there in conversation with a “Fritz” who spoke fairly good French. He was saying that they were mostly Poles in his regiment. They wouldn’t surrender, because the Germans would take it out on their families and their property. But this Pole suddenly indicated that someone was coming along the boyau, and he dropped down, calling out Vive la Pologne! Vive la France!”
