Capt. James J. Foley -it's more than 30 years ago now, but I'll never forget his name- bellowed to his men, 'Herd 'em up, those sons of bitches, and if anybody moves, give 'em the works '\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe had to strip down and stand naked for hours at the pier where a U.S. cruiser had anchored.

During World War II, German civilians living in Latin America were rounded up and imprisoned, taken to internment camps in the US, and later exchanged against American prisoners in Germany. They were innocent enemies, useful pawns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMargret S. de Oliveira Castro was born in Germany, went to school in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Canada, and has a Masters in Translation from the University of Geneva, Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe spent 20 years in Colombia, where she wrote \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLa Lengua Ladina de Garcia M rquez\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, the first encyclopedic compilation of neologisms, localisms and unusual words that appear in the extensive work of the Colombian Nobel Laureate author.
