家园 和DeLong同时被俘的霉菌士兵,四成以上在战俘营里饿死

没有活到51年的夏天。

DeLong所在的十号营还算是比较好的,死亡率比那个办奥运会的碧潼营要低一大截。碧潼营根据徐焰的说法,51年头三个月每天起码要死二三十个。

不过根据DeLong的回忆录,他自己参加埋尸体15到20次。

“I was on maybe 15 to 20 burial details, but I didn’t know who I was burying. We put them in the ground as far as we could and then stacked rocks on top of them. They weren't in a bag. They were just put in the ground. If they had a pair of shoes on and they were better shoes than what we had on, we took the shoes if they fit us. Survival was the main thing. To keep warm. If the person who died had a field jacket and we needed it for someone, we took it. The dead guy didn’t need it anymore. A lot of times we buried guys with no clothes. If the ground was frozen solid and we couldn't dig a hole, we just put them on top of the ground. We didn’t know what their name was a lot of times, but we said something over them at the grave. We gave them a little blessing. We never knew if we were going to be the next one to be dragged up the hill to be buried.”
