SNIP< "He was sent to Europe and in the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, as a battalion scout, he was taken prisoner. He was transported to Dresden, where he worked making a diet supplement for pregnant women. Between February 13 and 14 the Royal Air Force and United States Air Force made heavy raids on Dresden. Vonnegut was a prisoner in a meat-locker under a slaughterhouse, and was among the few people to survive the total destruction. He was later employed by the Germans to dig out corpses in the town. The city was occupied in 1945 by Soviet troops and Vonnegut was repatriated to the United States." >snip Link: http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/vonnegut.htm |
