"I recall a fellow grabbed machine gunner Sloan's morsel of cheese and swallowed it quickly before we were aware of what happened," Jack Nickell wrote in a letter to fellow ex-prisoner of war Glenn Schmidt. "I recall that court-martial. They found the thief guilty and he was given his choice - to man the honey bucket until we were liberated or be put to death."
Nickell and Schmidt were POWs in Stalag IXB at Bad Orb after being captured in the French village of Hatten during the Germans' Operation North Wind.
This is a rare firsthand account of the battle of Hatten from three members of the 242nd Regiment of the 42nd "Rainbow" Infantry Division.
