1943. Hundreds of Jewish people were being marched into the gas chambers in accordance with Adolf Hitler's orders.

When I asked him if he experienced any combat he said; “yes, I experienced some combat. But most of the time I spent in combat was in a tank.

Hunting Camp Finally, the time was here. It was fall break, and I had nothing to do but sit around and enjoy life. This area was covered with dirt, and no matter how hard I tried, I would get filthy.

They took everything that the natives had in their camp, even pulled the clothes from the two dead men and dressed, same as they had just went through. They must have been heading to the camp because they had bags of furs and beads. Alex looked on the ground behind them and observe the cold bodies. “We will sleep here for a while.” “In their tents?” Jose asked. “Yes…and
