Alfred Bellows was beginning to question his decision not to enroll at Bellvue Medical School just two years prior. Much to the displeasure of his parents, Bellows decided to temporarily forgo his medical training and do his patriotic duty and enlist in the Army Air Corps. Young Alfred was wondering if dear old mom and dad were right when they tried to convince him to go to medical school. After all, as his parents explained, the Air Corps needed doctors as well as pilots.

Bellows was a pilot though. He did well in flight school, and earned an early promotion to captain. Captain Bellows was flying bomber escort in a P-51 Mustang when the Gerries came out of nowhere. Bellows had a huge dose of humility when he realized his adversary was quite simply a better pilot than he was. After his Mustang was shot up beyond all hope, Bellows was able to bail out. Now here he was, lying in a cell at a German Luftstalag. Bellows was wrestling feeling lucky to be alive and being ashamed that he was captured.

Bellows heard a voice outside his cell, "Yo mate- welcome to Stalag 13." The voice had a British accent.

Alfred whispered back, "Who's there?"

The Brit quietly said back, "A friend. You will be fine, but never give more than your name, rank, and serial number."

Bellows, somewhat indignantly replied, "Of course I won't."

Captain Bellows didn't hear the voice again that night. Alfred knew he didn't return while he was sleeping, as he wasn't able to catch a wink. Bellows didn't know whether or not the voice actually belonged to a friend or enemy. But the Air Corps Captain did not intend to give his captors more than name, rank, and serial number.

Shortly after dawn, a portly sergeant of the guard came to get Captain Bellows. For some reason the sergeant rather loudly announced his presence... stomping around and banging on the door. Bellows felt the German was actually warning him of his pending arrival.

The red-headed American captain and the portly German sergeant walked the short distance from the "cooler" to the Kommandant's office. When they entered the reception area, Bellows immediately felt the warmth from a Franklin stove burning in the corner. Alfred also noticed the attractive blonde behind the desk. The German sergeant seemed surprised by her presence.

The sergeant asked, "Fraulein, who are you?"

The blonde stood up offering her hand, "Geneve, but you can call me Jeannie, Sergeant..."

The sergeant, blushing, took Jeannie's hand and replied, "Shultz, Hans Shultz. Have we met somewhere before?"

Jeannie replied, "Oh, I think I would remember someone like you. I am just filling in for Fraulein Helga while she tends to her sister and her new niece."

Shultz smiled and responded with, "Awwe, Helga's sister had a little girl, how nice." Then the sergeant had an epiphany, "Fraulein Jeannie, do you have a harem outfit?"

For a split second, Jeannie looked off guard. She quickly regained her composure and purred, "Why, Herr Sergeant, is that something you'd like to see me in off duty?"

Clearly flustered, Schultz blurted out, "My mistake, please forgive me fraulein." The sergeant rushed the red haired prisoner into the Kommandant's office muttering, "I know nothing, I see nothing."

Captain Alfred Bellows thought the interrogation was as strange as the events leading up to it. The camp's commander, a Colonel named Klink, tried to bribe the American captain with French pastries. Bellows held strong, though, and only gave the required information of name, rank and serial number. The American could not believe this German was given command of a POW camp, much less the rank of Colonel. Bellows figured Klink must have some great family connections.

Hogan and his key staff were, of course, listening in on the interrogation in the Senior POW's office. The American Colonel was pleased with how Bellows stayed strong. For now the American captain pretty much seemed to be what he appeared to be, unlike Majors Healey and Nelson. Hogan still had an uneasy feeling about the other two new arrivals. Still, the American colonel felt it would be prudent to keep close tabs on all three new USAAC prisoners. Also, Hogan felt it would be a good idea to get to know this new Fraulein Jeannie.
