We saw three civilians, two German nurses, and a man who walked with a limp, a young man.  He said he was trying to find his sister on the other side of town and wanted to know if it was dangerous to go there.  All this was commonplace enough and had happened many times before.
One of our enlisted men had been left with the vehicle.  The rest of us walked about a half mile across the broken town and ^came to^ the mine.  Our intrepid priest was then not too sure of the entrance.  What followed was not common place.
Around a hole in the steep hill stood some twenty people.  They fell back and we went in.  The tunnel - an old mine shaft - was about six feet wide and eight high, arched and rough.  Once away from the light of the entrance, the passage was thick with vapor and our flashlights made only faint spots in the gloom.  There were people inside.  I thought we must soon pass them and that they were a few stragglers sheltered there for safety.  But we did not pass them.
