Paul:
Ending a war. You're about 17 and you see the Canadians, the Polish army and, finally, the Americans enter a city. The Wehrmacht has retreated -you saw them going home on a stolen bike- and you have your first beer. You don't have to be at home tonight -and you won't be. Isn't that freedom? At that moment, nobody knows about Flying bombs. Bastogne has yet to come. You don't know where Auschwitz is. Besides: no school tomorrow.
And the sun was shining. Sure, you would feel: war is over.
Michel.
