Sascha Weinzheimer: February 3, 1945
At about five o'clock last night ten of our planes came over our Camp. One pilot dropped his goggles with a note tied to them ... it fell in the main building patio where there weren't any Nips "“ and lucky a friend of ours found it because we found out right away what it said: "Roll out the barrel! Your Christmas will be here today or tomorrow." Shortly we heard guns and tanks in the distance. Everyone thought it must be the Japs except Daddy. He was sure it was the Americans!
