Of course, George is not completely free at the moment. He is now in a prisoner of war camp in a woodland in Poland, so it is impossible for him to go out by himself. .

After gathering up a car with prisoners of war, the German driver counted the number of people and drove away from the main entrance of the prisoner war camp, slowly moving on the tree-shaded road.

It was the first time that George watched these familiar trees in a free mood. The side walls of the prisoner-of-war camp were barbed wire, and they could also see the woods in the distance in the prisoner-of-war camp.

However, looking at these trees from the prisoner-of-war camp is completely different from looking outside. It is really different, completely different!

The bumpy cars were not driving fast on the road, and these roads were built by prisoners of war in other prisoners of war camps.

When this highway was built, Germany and the Soviet Union had not yet started war, so this was definitely built by prisoners of war from Britain, France and Pole and other countries.

The quality of the road is not good, because it is a class road connecting the prisoner-of-war camp, and the requirements are very low, as long as it is a road.

Soon, the truck drove onto the B-class highway, which was much flatter and much wider.

Transport trucks came towards me, and trucks transported production materials one by one to various labor camps and distributed them as means of production.

Then, these trucks will soon transport large quantities of finished products and drive them back to various places in Germany.

There are many items produced here, including clothes, shoes, hats, socks... Of course, cannonballs, parachutes, and tank parts!

"Hey! Look!" The prisoner of war, named Irving, was sitting next to George, pointed to the factory on the roadside where the truck passed and shouted loudly.

It was a huge factory with more than a dozen chimneys rolling to discharge black smoke into the high sky.

The scene in front of you can be said to be ordinary in the Ruhr Industrial Zone in Germany, but in Poland, such a factory can definitely be regarded as a factory of quite good scale.

George also saw this factory. On the huge factory door of the factory in front of him, an equally huge German sign hung.

They don’t really recognize German, so they don’t know what it is written here. If they know German, they can see that the sign hanging here says Mercedes-Benz 12th Factory.

In fact, Germany has entered the construction stage of Poland, and there are factories invested and built by Germans everywhere.

Moreover, many of these factories do not produce military supplies. They recruited apprentice workers who had just finished training and produced some automotive spare parts and other products.

For example, the factory of Mercedes-Benz Automobile Company in front of us is a branch factory that produces spare parts for civilian vehicles.

With the continuous improvement of Germany's industrial level, the number of German cars is gradually increasing. Germany now owns millions of cars, distributed in the occupied areas and in the local area.

These cars are responsible for transportation and passengers. Together with trains and planes, they transport the materials of the Third Reich and swim on the blood vessels of the highway and railway.

"Another factory... are the Germans crazy?" Shortly after the two saw the branch factory of Mercedes-Benz Motor Company, they saw another huge textile factory.

Poland has been transformed into a production base for many materials by Germany. Because it has a large amount of cheap labor and is closer to the front line, the construction here is even faster than in Germany.

Along these built roads, German factories were built one by one, and residential areas were also established around these factories like mushrooms after a rain.

Buildings one after another. If it weren't for the German troops who retreated from the front line to rest and the reserve troops who wanted to fight on the front line frequently passed by Poland, the impact of the war might really be no longer visible here.

When we arrived at the train station, George, Irving and others who were released had to rely on their own money to pay for their train tickets.

On the civil platform, there is a ticket purchase window specially set up for prisoners of war, which contains British prisoners of war who know German, responsible for translating to their compatriots.

From here on, prisoners like George and Irving had to return to their own country with their own money.

The money was provided to all British prisoners of war in the north by the British government, and the payment was to use arms and repair ships.

Britain repaired warships and transport ships for Germany, shipyards produced new ships for Germany, and military factories produced artillery shells for Germany in exchange for the German mark, which was used to provide prisoners of war with travel expenses for their return.

Interestingly, the money was still in Germany as travel expenses and food consumption, which means that Germany basically received the arms supplies and maintenance services provided by the UK without paying any price.

But the British government had to spend this money because it had to redeem these prisoners of war to appease the people and consolidate its rule.

"I advise you to take the train to East Prussia first, then get on the boat there, and go back to the UK directly... The boat ticket is much cheaper than the train ticket, which is slower." The British prisoner of war sitting behind the window said to George.

His suggestion would save George about 100 German marks, which could be bought in East Prussia and brought back to the UK.

If he didn't eat these canned foods on the way, he could exchange money for him to take them back to England, which would allow prisoners of war to solve some of their life problems.

George was very satisfied with the suggestion, so he nodded and said, "Thank you, just do what you said."

Communicating in English makes him feel very comfortable, especially when communicating in English with people behind the window, which gives him a feeling of returning to his hometown.

"I'm the same as you! We can go together." Irving was also satisfied with the suggestion and said behind George.

In fact, their choice was also the choice of most British prisoners of war released before. They were willing to bring some money back, which could at least improve the financial situation of some families.

Similarly, walking together can save a lot of trouble. After all, they have to move in the German occupied area and it is easy to encounter difficulties alone.

At least, many people can sometimes avoid a lot of trouble. They buy train tickets and wait on the platform, waiting for the arrival of trains marked with numbers 11-7.

This train will carry them to East Prussia, where they will use a piece of paper provided by British prisoners of war just behind the ticket window, write a German note for purchasing the ticket, and buy the ticket back to their hometown in the UK.
