Veteran recalls being captured weeks after D-Day
We went out on night patrol. We're supposed to be doing a blow up of of self propaganda in no man's land, but in fact it was behind their lines. So they let us through and then very unfriendly, they shield it and wouldn't let us back. So we had a battle. We had 30 went out on our patrol, our platoon 16 including my brother who was a corporal got back, five of us got captured. And they're presumably 9 got killed.
