Récit de la débrouillardise française dans tout son « génie », même si le camarade évadé fut repris quelques jours plus tard.
Quant au digne représentant de la race canine germanique, et néanmoins ami des prisonniers Français, il fut tué quelques mois plus tard par une bombe Américaine, alors qu’il accomplissait sa ronde nocturne. Comme quoi la bonté n’est pas toujours récompensée à sa juste valeur.
At the end of
March 1943, the residents of barrack 4 commented during their morning grooming
on the departure of one of their comrades who had left as soon as the sentry
had unlocked the door of the barrack. I take up again Pierre Dulin's story: "Big emotion in the guard post. A real
commission of inquiry entered the barracks of the tragedy. The Kdoführer
(kommandoführer: camp leader) plus another leader and three guards, with the
formidable dog bloodhound. One of the guards found an old panty under the bolster
of the escaped prisoner and made the dog feel it, he sniffed conscientiously
and, by his attitude seemed to say: "Well what! It smells like a French
prisoner and then? ». We make the bunk feel: there the dog seems to want to
take an initiative, he jumps on the bunk, makes three turns on himself, sniffs
again, then deaf to the injunctions "look! ", he lies in a circle
with the obvious intention of blowing a little snoring to compensate for a
sleepless night. A few shots of boots quickly made him realize that this was
not at all what was expected of him and the commission of inquiry returned to
the guard post, empty-handed”.
An account of
French resourcefulness in all its "genius", even if the escaped
comrade was recaptured a few days later.
As for
the worthy representative of the Germanic canine race, and nevertheless friend
of the French prisoners, he was killed a few months later by an American bomb,
while he was completing his night round. This shows that kindness is not always
rewarded at its true value. Dessin tiré du livre "Stalag VA" |
