There was a German conscript dropped off to guard a bridge and forgotten about, eventually he had eaten all his rations and the locals were feeding him, after a couple of weeks one of them called the German military to complain... An oops moment occurred and people's were sent out to collect the misplaced conscript who when recovered found out not only had the exercise ended weeks ago, they had posted him AWOL
Someone owes me a coffee as most is down my shirt.................
I do hope said conscript was suitably rewarded .................
