One of the American veterans of the European Campaign interviewed for "The War" told this story:
When the allies took a bunch of prisoners in Europe towards the end of the war, one of the German prisoners, a 24-year old, looked at the American directly and asked in perfect English, "Where are you from?" The American, a bit taken aback by the perfect English, replied, "America." "What part?" the young German persisted. "The Northeast part, the American told him. "What part of the Northeast?" "Connecticut," the American told him. "What city in Connecticut?" "Waterbury." "Where the two rivers meet (the German named the two rivers)?" "How did you know that!!?" the American demanded, shocked that the 24-year old German could have known so much about Waterbury, one of the rivers so small you could jump across it. "I was training to be the Administrator after the war," the young German told him.
