THE branch-line train came to a stop. A small camouflaged station stood there in the sun. Of the few surrounding houses only ruins remained; in their place barracks had been erected with roofs and walls painted in protective colors. A number of railroad cars stood on the tracks. Russian prisoners were transferring freight. The branch line at this point joined a main line.
The wounded were carried into one of the barracks. Those that could walk sat hunched on rough-hewn benches. A few more men on leave had arrived. They kept together and tried to be as inconspicuous as possible. They were afraid of being noticed and sent back.
