The Dull Life Of A POW

As the stars shine of over Luft-Stalag 13, three men in black pants and sweaters sneak out of "The Toughest Camp in Germany".

"It's good to get out of that ruddy camp." Corporal Peter Newkirk says to his companions.

Newkirk is a handsome Englishman, about 5'9. His street smarts and wittiness helps greatly with his mission. In the war he was a RAF pilot, now his mission is more important.

"Newkirk, it thought you liked it there?" Corporal Louis LeBeau to his friend. LeBeau is a friendly yet tough little Frenchman. His expertise in cooking is not only nice to have but also helps him make friends out of enemies.

"I do, mate," Newkirk replies. "But 'ow often do you get a chance to blow up a train in a ruddy POW camp?"

"Yeah, that the best part about having Colonel Hogan as a senior officer." Sergeant Andrew J. Carter remarks. "He lets us come out here and kablast the train!"

Carter is a friendly person. He his always willing to help but sometimes messes up on things. His knowledge of explosive helps him in his work.

"Right you are, Carter." Newkirk grins. " Colonel 'ogan the best colonel anybody could 'ave."

"Here it comes." LeBeau says, referring to the train. "Are you ready, Peter?"

"Yep." Newkirk says, looking at the track. "Lovely night for a explosion, isn't it?"

"This sure is fun, isn't it?" Carter comments.

"It's ruddy hilarious." Newkirk says, sarcastically.

The train approaches.

"Five, four, three, two, one!" Newkirk says as he pushes the plunger.

The train explodes.

"Yes!" Carter cries. "We got!"

"Yeah, but, lets go before the krauts come." LeBeau says.

"How'd it go, guys?" Senior POW officer, colonel Robert E. Hogan asks. Hogan is a good-looking man. His creativity and effectiveness make him head of the operation.

"It was a blast!" Carter says.

" 'E's right guv'nr, it went beautifully." Newkirk says.

"Good," Hogan says. "Are you guy's tired?"

"Now sir, what makes you think, that not resting all day and leaving at two o'clock in the morning to blow up a train, would make us tired?" Newkirk say sarcastically.

"I suppose that is a backward 'yes'?" Hogan asks.

"Lets put it this way, sir," Newkirk replies, "Request permission to sleep for the rest of the war."

The next morning, after roll call….

"Into the barracks, back, back, back!" Sergeant Hans Shultz.

"Hey, what's the big idea Shultzie?" Carter asks.

"Yeah, today's the volleyball tournament!" Newkirk complains.

"But!" LeBeau says, "I just made it into the little leagues!"

"The volleyball tournament is off," Shultz says, "Orders of the Kommandant."

"The ruddy kill joy!" Newkirk murmurs.

"Yeah, now I won't have any photos to send to my mother, or my girlfriend, or my Grammy… " LeBeau trails off.

"And I won't 'ave any pictures to send to the queen of England!" Newkirk jokes.

"Jolly jokers!" Shultz says, "You're all jolly jokers!"

"We try our best." smiles Newkirk.

"Jolly jokers!" Shultz yells. "Back into the barracks!"

"I'm going to write a letter to the Red Cross about this!" Newkirk protests.

"Me too!" LeBeau says.

"What for?" Shultz asks.

"For depriving our girlfriends pictures of us!" LeBeau answers.

Sergeant James Kinchloe 'Kinch' comes out off the tunnel holding a clipboard. "We got a message from London, Colonel." Kinch says handing the clipboard to Hogan.

Hogan starts to read it. "Commanding officer shot down. Has vital information. Cannot take torture. Get at all cost. Name Jamie Winsor." Hogan reads.

"He sounds important." Carter says.

"He sure does, but how are we going to prevent the krauts from getting him?" Kinch asks

"I have an idea." Hogan says.

"What is it?" Newkirk asks.

"Let's sleep on it."
