I bet she worked with my late friend’s, late Mom! On second thought, I’m sure she did!

Old P.T.’s stories told to him by his Mom were pretty good!

Thanks nick.
An antagonistic Nazi sergeant under her questioning in 1944 mentioned that Czechs and Slovaks were used to doing the Germans' "dirty work" along the Italian front. Lauwers, a private, realized there was an opportunity to flip the loyalties of her former countrymen. She quickly borrowed the Vatican's Czech and Slovak typewriters and prepared leaflets in both Czech and Slovak languages that urged the conscripts to change sides, telling them that they were being used.
Good idea! Of course, having the Germans lose over a million men fighting in the USSR may have contributed some to their eventual defeat... ;')
