Some soldier

World War 2 in North Africa. 'We'd just got to the tinned peaches and evaporated milk stage, when a grim-faced young German drove up with a pistol in his hand and said, just like the films, "For you the war is over!" I quickly whispered to my OC, who spoke German: "Ask him if we can finish our lunch!" He did so, and our captor replied, "Very well, but be quick, I have much to do!" Then he detailed us to take our surrendered ambulances into Tobruk hospital.'
