sympathy with the feldwebel

 

Feldwebel Steiner rushed into Colonel Kruger's office.

"Colonel Kruger, Colonel Kruger," he exclaimed.

The Colonel looked up from his paperwork, not best pleased.

"Was is das?" he said tiredly.

"All ze Britisher prisoners have escaped again," blurted out Feldwebel Steiner.

The Colonel sucked in his breath.

"Report the matter at once to General Vortzel," he rasped.
