Water

This is what happened. The first thing we knew, the "goon" (that is what we called the guards) came along the cars, opened the doors and set water in. We could hear them at the cars ahead of us, then all of a sudden they were at our car and we had water. Then we could hear them coming again. Our door opened and we had a seventh of a loaf of bread per man. Soon after, we heard a toylike whistle go peep-peep, a bump, a clang and we had an engine. We were moving, and most of the soldiers were praising God. The train jerked and tugged us along until we finally rolled into Bad Orb. Among other things I was homesick to hear a good strong American train whistle. I had never seen or heard anything like the little engines with the toy whistles we had to endure in Germany.
