POW Camp at Bando

"Get out!"

A Japanese army car stopped in front of a Prisoner of War camp in Japan. A young German soldier got out of the car. His name was George. He was a prisoner. This was his second prison camp.

George looked around. He saw tall mountains standing over fields and small wooden houses. The air was cold. He felt refreshed. Before the war, he had studied to become a symphony conductor. Then he went into the army. He fought the Japanese in China. The Japanese Army won the battle and took him prisoner.

"Get moving!" A Japanese soldier shouted at him to go into the POW camp.

"Alright, alright!" George felt angry about the soldier's attitude. He hated being pushed around. He answered back, "Who do you think you are?"

The Japanese soldier shouted at him. Then he started to hit George.
