I should say that it has required some negotiation for me to talk my father into letting me come along on these “German” logging trips. Three or four of my father’s regulars, working the woods at a relatively slow pace, is one thing; these new young aliens added into the mix is another. There are, if memory serves—at least at the beginning of the work schedule—a couple of National Guardsmen along, more for comfort than protection, since the Germans appear to be just fine waiting out the war in my grandfather’s employment. Their single escape plot seems to be survival, and they couldn’t plot any better than here where they are. Forties war movies set in Europe tend to allow escape routes for Allied spies and POWs—Switzerland, Britain, or some French or Dutch Underground hideout. But here, in Virginia, where would you go, and why? Besides, not all eleven of the Germans are in the field at once; it’s always the safer number of half.
