Transcription
One night we hooked onto a place, it was quite a hard place to fight so that night we went into it
and we got a hold of this and we captured a bunch of Germans there and it was one fellow there I got a hold of and I took his watch out. He had one of them little watches about that big, a dollar watch, and I took that away from him and he cried and I said, “Man, you’re some glad that you, all you would lose was that one little watch, all that you would lose.” I said you some glad. Well he looked at me so funny, he says, “I guess you’re right!” Because there was a dozen of them around him and the only thing that was holding him from me was that I took something from him and I was keeping him from the other fellows.
