Читать книгу We Were Young and at War: The first-hand story of young lives lived and lost in World War Two - Sarah Wallis - Страница 47

We have been sent to a farm in the countryside because the soldiers are going to try and defend L’Ile Bouchard.

Before we left we had a long discussion. Cousin Jules said that the Germans do not rape women ‘because they are decent’. Uncle Fritz, who spends his days sucking his false teeth, never intervenes in conversations. But at this point he adjusted his dentures and said: ‘That’s not why, oh no! It’s because they don’t have the temperament.’

We are staying in a room infested with spiders, ants, dead flies, etc.
