I remember chatting to a very pleasant old gentleman who had fought in the second world war.
he came to the mess for a dinner night and was sharing his experiences with us.......... and of course because he was an older wiser man we were all listening intently and minding our P's and Q's.
I can remember vividly when he talked about the war ending and how he and his platoon went to celebrate in the local town.......
the story went on and he described in detail about the men and the bars they went into..........late in the evening they all went to a 'house of ill repute' many drinks were had...........
he paused for a second and then said......
"and all of a sudden all my men started raping all the women!"
He said that as a 20yr old officer he could do very little to stop the rampage!!!!
was a real eye opener for me i'll tell you!!!!
funny how people change over the years.....not!
