Event Note Aryeh Sheikin, describing his military training, cites: ""situated somewhere at the far end of an isolated group of desert encampments....we received no promises. Capt. Buck had warned that lives would depend on our ability to wear our disguises faultlessly, to learn to perfection the slang prevalent among the soldiers of the Afrika Korps, and to drill in accordance with all the German methods. 'If your true identity is found out', said Buck, 'there is no hope for you'. Contacts with other British units were nil" in order that they live, eat drill, speak and behave like Germans." |
