A Story By Jamie .........

In 1943 when the war was still going on millions of soldiers were killed, 3 men were left standing out of thousands as well as many germans.
5miles down the beach 2 germans where still bravelly fighting on, explosions where going on all around them the sky was black with smoke.
The beach was awash with blood and the bodies of the brave English and German soldiers. The smells were horrid we stood watching our friends die all around us while explosion after explosion went on.

Suddenly all was quiet and we began to walk down the beach stepping over our comrades who had fallen. The war for us wasn't over we still had to fight eventually we made our way through to Poland along with hundreds of allied soldiers.

Once there we entered the town of Berkinsville it had been torn apart by tank shelling and gunfire.
The commander ordered us to set up camp,as the night wore on gunfire was heard we rushed from our sleeping quarters to find one of our comrades dead, bullets where whistling all around us and one of the lads fell to the floor like a sack of spuds.
Shouts rang out all around the camp "Sniper watch your backs" "take cover". Rickman one of our squads best snipers was ordered over to the commander "take out that sniper" he said. Shots rang out and then silence fell over the camp Rickman reappeared " got him " he said. The bullet had gone straight through the german snipers head, his brains spalttered on the wall behind him.
Commander Bobberson ordered us to make camp in the deserted church to wait until morning inside the warmth of the church me and my mates fell asleep.

Morning came and we moved on again twenty five miles out of town our squad ran into german gunfire," attack men " attack" shouted Commander Bobberson. They charged and we charged guns were going of explosions rang out all around us, my mates were being picked off one by one.German tanks were appearing over the hill tops. It was then we realised we were outnumbered.
Within 30minutes we had all been captured, we were marched to a prisoner of war camp. and put into tiny cells we stayed there for 3 nights throught the days and nights seven men were taken from the cells to be tortured, We could hear thier screams and gunshots noone wanted to think what was happening to our mates.

We knew we would never see them again, The following morning they took the rest of us out of our cells and made us work we worked digging trenches, what they were for we could only imagine.
Myself and two of my mates tried to get out but the germans saw us, firing at us not close enought to hit us just a warning shot.
The camp was enclosed by a electric fence 3 metres high there was no chance of climbing that. One night i hid under a hut,my mates would't risk it they were to afraid of getting caught, i couldnt blame them. i was scared too,
I dug under the fence it took me most of the night dawn was breaking as i made my way through the forest, i soon came upon a town it was early morning but a old woman spotted me and started shouting.
I ran hoping to come across some kind of weapon so at least i could defend myself, then i reslised it was futile,i knew if the germans came and caught me i would be shot on the spot.

There was nothing else for me to do but to go back to the camp at least if i could make my way back in i would probablly be safe there for the time being. There was nowhere else for me to go i could hear the germans closing in on my position.
I hid in some bushes and laid low until darkness fell then made my way back to the camp. The hole i had escaped from had not been found so i crept silently under the fence back into the camp.
Something in me snapped i was angry that my escape plan had failed i could just make out a german gaurd standing by the cell doors. I crept up behind him snapping his neck like a twig. Taking his keys i unlocked the rest of the cells freeing my comrades, we made our way to the hole i had used earlier but just as we were about to go through we were spotted.

The silent night became filled with gunfire,a few of the guys managed to get through the hole into the forest. otheres were just mown down by the german guns.
I was with some other guys running through the forest we could hear the germans in pursuit thier dogs barking, snapping and growling.
We ran on and on but all the time the germans were closing in on us headlight from jeeps surrounded us we couldnt run any longer there was nowhere to run too we were surrounded. "No mercy" shouted the germans as they lined us all up and shot us dead.
