While serving with the engineers in Germany every February we used to do our intersection competition as Infantrymen. Not being used to walking every where, once we has finished a stand we would go to the nearest phone box and ring for a taxi and get it to take us with in a mile of the next stand. On one of these journeys we liberated a farmers barn for us to get our heads down for the night.. The next morning we where awoken by a dog barking it's head off at us and the farmer shouting Raus oder ich rufe die polizei then a brief cultural exchange of words ending with off was our response... The next thing we knew we where surrounded by the German police with guns drawn asking us very nicely to surrender as they thought that we where part of a breakout from the local prison, once they found out that we where British soldiers the farmer then invited us into his house for breakfast..
