SEATTLE -- Gunter Grawe spent three years as a German prisoner of war in western Washington, a World War II incarceration he recalls not with rancor but gratitude for the chance to "live and learn in America."

He declared his capture by the Americans at the age of 18 "his luckiest day," and reminisced about camp life that included English, French and Spanish classes organized by other POWs and a commissary stocked with chocolate, ice cream and Coca-Cola.

That's the best strategy for the German soldiers - get capture by the Anglo-Americans, get interned somewhere in North America, where they can find some fat local gal, get married, then stay on a farm for the rest of the war shovelling horse shit.
Isn't that better than dying in the snows of Stalingrad?
