Reader123,
Mrs D. had only come out from UK for the first time a week or two earlier: German was not widely taught in English schools at that period.
Almost all our people had spent their first few months in Holland, they knew all the local shops well, it was only five miles away. GK town was an unknown quantity to them, even though it was only two. Remember that that on leaving Holland we spent the next few months in Cologne, before reaching MQ in GK.
And yes, we were more popular in Holland !
