M. DUBOST: Only by the German Army?
ROSER: I was never guarded by anybody but the German Army and once by the Schutzpolizei, after I had tried to escape.
M. DUBOST: And were you recaptured?
ROSER: Yes.
M. DUBOST: One last question. You were kept in a number of prisoner-of-war camps in Germany, were you not?
ROSER: Yes.
M. DUBOST: In all those camps did you have the opportunity to practice your religion?
ROSER: In the camps . . .
M. DUBOST: What is your religion?
ROSER: I am a Protestant. In the camps where I was kept, Protestants and Catholics were generally allowed to practice their religion. But I was detailed to working squads, particularly to an agricultural group in the Bremen district, called “Maiburg,” I think, where there was a Catholic priest. There were about sixty of us in this group. This Catholic priest could not say Mass—they would not let him.
