Peter Munger was assigned to an IR platoon but spent the end of the war in a rifle company. He returns to a bridge where he recalls the memories of war and a time when he was almost killed by German machine gun fire. He describes how for 65 years he'd been wanting to come back to the spot where he narrowly escaped with his life by leaping off the bridge. Peter recalls: "I was stunned...but I was alive." Later he takes us to the field near Malmedy, were a company of 30th soldiers were massacred and left buried in the snow. Peter tells us in a solemn but matter-of-fact tone: "after that we didn't take any more prisoners."
