Ch. 5 (entry #2)

As I read this chapter Billy's account of the war camp he was in clearly reminded me of a movie I saw on T.V. the other day. The movie was called "Hart's War."  Hart's war is about a corporal who gets captured by the Germans along with the rest of his platoon. As the corporal enters the he sees the same site as Billy Pilgrim, starve faced Russians. Now I'm just taking a guess here, but it seems to me that the German's treat the American prisoners a lot better than the Russian prisoners. I don't know why the German act the way they do towards the Russians, maybe its a race thing.  Later as the Corporal goes further into the camp he meets a group of Americans very similar to the group of British men that Billy Pilgrim meet. The group of Americans have very good living quarters, and they also put on plays. The plays were very similar to the Cinderella play that the British officers put on for the American soldiers.  The British officers at some point during their time as prisoners tried to escape a camp that they were in, and like the British officers the American men in "Hart's War" also tried to escape, and unlike the British soldiers the American's succeeded.
