Ritchie Boys - Jewish WWII soldiers - tell of brushes with Nazis, and guarding Alfred Jodl

The Nazi general wanted to use the bathroom. WWII in Europe had just ended. And U.S. Army Captain Seymour Steinberg figured it was fine. But as Oberstgeneral Alfred Jodl, one of Hitler`s top aides, vanished into the bathroom, Steinberg`s blood went cold. A German admiral had made the same request an hour before and had killed himself in a bathroom. If Jodl did the same thing, Steinberg was in big trouble. He dashed into the bathroom. He broke down the door. And there was Jodl sitting on the can. "Is anything wrong?" asked Jodl. Steinberg and other Ritchie Boys mark the 70th anniversary of the opening of the secret WWII military intelligence school at Camp Ritchie, Md.
