Living Like Kings

Took us up to this big German army base and we were up there as Transport and at that time I was driving an English - when I got there, I was a Corporal then and I was in charge of them and they gave me this, they called it a Bedford, troop carrying vehicle. And we were living like kings, we had all the Germans, like, was weeded out and worked in the mess halls and we had them working in the garages as mechanics like that so we were like the officers, we just walk in the mess and sat down and they come, waited on us and all this stuff. So anyhow, so my job was to going to this airport about, I think it was 50 kilometres or so away and picking up, there was a lot of officers and nurses and stuff coming in from all the different areas to this airport and bring them on the base, then they get all the papers and they get transferred around and everything to go to England, back over to England. We did that, we did that for, let’s see, we did that for about about 9 months.
