Scott had just gotten done fighting another battle. He described how brutal and intense and frightening it all was. When we got back to camp he wrote a letter home to his family, saying where he was and how things were going. I can only imagine what it would have been like being in World War II, to lose your friends and to write back to your family, telling everything is and will be alright, when you know it could easily not be. Scott also heard a lot of different jokes about Hitler and the Nazis. I think the only reason people made jokes was to keep spirits high and to lighten the mood. So soldiers wouldn't get to scared of nervous.
