Editor's note: This is the fourth in a series about Joseph Jo-seph Stott of Ogden. This week, Stott continues to "enjoy" his work as a driver One day when t had dispatch dis-patch in a mountainous area, as I came around a mountain, I could see where the road went up and through a saddle. Right at the top of the saddle, I could see the turret of a German tank, its guns aimed right down at me. I made a quick right turn into the ditch. The shell from the tank threw some dirt on me, but didn't bother me much. I went down around and came back up on the road, where the tank couldn't see me. Then an American tank came whipping up the road; the crew had heard the German Ger-man gun (guns have a distinctive distinc-tive sound): "Where is that blankety -blank?" I told them and they said, "You wait right here." A few minutes later I heard a kaboom! The Americans came back down the road and said, "You can go now." Another time when I was driving along on a snowy road around a column of trucks, I looked and saw two German Stukas strafing the column. I grabbed the emergency brake with one hand, the key in the other, then made myself as small as I could against the wall of the mountain. As I crouched down, all of a sudden I heard a thud! My jeep had side-slipped above me the back wheels behind, and front wheels in front. (The tires on a jeep were very good for mud or snow, but for a sideslip, they might as well be bald.) After the planes went past, I crawled out. I could seen where one bullet had gone through the driver's seat and embedded itself it-self in the sandbags on the floor of the jeep. The American troops crossed the Rhine River at Arnhem on a pontoon bridge, but the Germans were floating mines down the river toward the bridge. So at the end of each pontoon there was a sharpshooter who, when he saw a mine, would shoot at it to try to blow it up. If he missed it, it would explode and take out a couple of pontoons. The engineers on both shores would push the pontoons back into place, hook up the cables, bring in a couple of pontoons, and shortly they'd have the bridge intact again. When I needed food, I'd go to a quartermaster, show my dispatch, and he'd ask, "How much f cod do you want?" One pocket on the side of my jeep was full of K rations, the other side full of C rations. I also had a "10 in 1" under the back seat enough food for 10 people. It contained jam, jellies, and other things like that. If I were back at my base, I'd sleep in a tent. Other times, I'd just put my shelter half down the side of my jeep, stake it to the bottom, and crawl under the jeep and into my sleeping bag. The sleeping bag was one blanket, folded over, with a zipper. That's all. I later helped myself to two blankets from the 12th Armored, Ar-mored, an English group. I think I was the only jeep in the whole army that had vacuum windshield wipers, which I'd taken off a knocked-out knocked-out American truck. Another time I found a gallon bucket with a top on it. I mounted it on my exhaust manifold, so when I needed water, I'd just open my hood, scoop out a cup of hot water, and replace the lid. That's how I made my cocoa. I was once told, "There's a POW camp in Vittel, France." I drove there and was able to cut the fence and start letting people out some of them were very happy to get out. As we moved in to Heidelberg, Heidel-berg, the Germans moved out. There I saw a large German flag, six feet by four feet, up on a building. I went through the building and up onto the roof. That's where I got my German flag. I took the sword I have off a soldier who was going to the POW (prisoner of war) cage and didn't need it anymore. My German Lugar gun was from a dead body. I took the binoculars from a German artillery sergeant. A little grid in the eyepiece marks elevation and latitude. We were given seven packs of cigarettes and two pints of beer every week. I first started start-ed giving my cigarettes to my friends, but then I found out that they were selling them. So I now used the cigarettes to get my washing done, get a radio for my jeep, and size the new wedding band my wife ' sent me. Next week: The winter of 1944-45 was'one of the coldest on record on the continent, as Joseph Stott only too well found out.
