Colonel Arbeiter had informed his superiors that baseball was being played in the Louisiana POW camp. The initial reaction was disbelief, followed by anger. Eventually the brass warmed to the idea—especially because someone like Colonel Arbeiter strongly endorsed it. That was something neither Gene nor his teammates ever learned.

When the rest of the camp found out about the American-German “Friendship Game,” the idea took root and everyone looked forward to the event. All Gene had to do was sell Heinrich and his teammates on the idea. To his surprise, it was much easier than expected.

The game was scheduled for August 8, 1945. The news was that after the game, Mueller, Kals, Goebeler, and the rest of the Germans from U-505 would be transferred elsewhere. Some said they were going to a camp in Canada; others claimed their destination was England, where they would be put to work cleaning up the ravages of war.

When they would return to Germany was a question no one could answer.
