Harry writes about the International Brigades taking the city of Quinto. He says that he watched one Nazi officer commit suicide and twenty others executed. The fascists had thought the IB was the Russian army and they surrendered, leaving their trenches yelling "Viva ls Rusia." Harry says that they were surprised that only their leaders were shot; he is sure they will be very surprised by the IB in the future. Harry now considers himself a veteran; the planes no longer bother him and he says he is a very different person than he was in Madrid.His time in Madrid was wonderful; he became a little boy again. He missed his train out of Valencia and had to hop a freight train. He rode the rails for five days and had to hike to the front.
