right there a prisoner of war camp for the duration if the french got there first it wss a different matter the man lb the lead would dash across the field ripping off hli clothing as hf ran when he reached the airman ire would start tearing his uniform off him and with gestures and word make it clear clear that they were to switch cloth es when the change was made the rest of the frenchmen would gather around the disguised airman and point in the direction opposite to that taken by the uniformed frenchman sabetaoe it seemed crazy to us at first but its really pretty sensible the french man in
