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 51

There is apparently a big battle going on between the English and the Bosches in the north of France. Good.

We went with Hedwige—who is from Alsace and speaks German—to ask the Bosches to lend us a ball and they came and played with us. We had fun but it was even more fun seeing the looks on Aunt Louise and Uncle Fritz’s faces, they looked so protective, especially whenever a German came close to one of us. Uncle Fritz said: ‘Ah! Who’d have thought they’d ever play with German soldiers.’ And we enjoyed riling them. They are so annoying, going on at us all day long, trying to have a word with us, always wanting us to listen, always bossing us around.
