"The most beautiful prisoner of war transit camp in the town of Spittal, high in the Tyrol. Unfortunately troops only stayed at this camp for a few days in transit. It was situated within a large German training ground. The sound of some 5000 German infantry men singing as they marched was an experience none will ever forget. The beautiful singing, in complete harmony, which bounced from crag to crag, was magic, and one single soul was a magnificent yodeller for whom the other 4999 paused at the end of each verse."
