This is absolutely fascinating. The water must have looked disgusting after a few days. I still haven't figured out why water was such an issue at the Arthur's. All the people I talked to said there was plenty of water (remember the Freteval creek) One possibility is that the germans could have suspected a presence if all the sudden farmers multiplied the amounts of water they used . I am about to write a letter to the Mayor of St Cloud and ask him if there are any survivors that would accept to meet me for my next visit.
