Chapter 31: The Naked Stampede

The guards and civilians around the camp had gone into a daze. The Bird apparently left camp to go to the designated spot on the mountains for the new camp where they would kill all of the POWs. The date they had set for the killings was the following week. Louie was suffering from bad bowel problems. One of the POWs found out that the war had ended. Some guards at Phil's camp made them go on strange marches through the forest in the freezing cold. An American plane flew over POWs one day when they were allowed to bathe in a river, and it said that the war was over. Louie was sick and tired, but at the same time, he was overjoyed.
