:45:06
They caught me when Bengasi fell.
:45:10
They brought us to a POW camp in Egypt.
:45:15
Some were glad...
:45:18
because they figured
the war was over for them.
:45:23
Being a prisoner is horrible for a soldier.
:45:30
lt's humiliating...
:45:33
it's a non-life.
:45:37
A soldier's duty is to fight,
a prisoner's is to flee.
:45:40
l didn't want to rot away in Kenya or lndia.
:45:45
l managed to go back to Bengasi.
:45:50
The British were still there.
:45:51
For three months l hid out
at a friend's place...
:45:56
in a brothel.
:46:01
lt was the best time of my life.
:46:05
Then when we liberated Bengasi...
:46:09
l went back to my troop.

-How long have you been in Africa?
-Two years.
:46:14
-You never went back to ltaly?
-No.
:46:21
This is a cursed place.
You boil in the day, and freeze at night.
:46:30

:46:33
l'd never seen a sky like this.

The desert plays with you...
:46:44
makes you think strange things.
:46:50
l'm sure of one thing.
:46:53
When we go home...
:46:55
if we save our hides...
