Innocent Enemies

By: Margret S. de Oliveira Castro

After having been kept for several months in quite filthy quarters at the local police station in San Salvador, we were transported one day suddenly to the port of La Union, where the U.S. Marines gave us a hearty welcome. Capt. James J. Foley -its more than 30 years ago now, but Ill never forget his name- bellowed to his men, Herd em up, those sons of bitches, and if anybody moves, give em the works

We had to strip down and stand naked for hours at the pier where a U.S. cruiser had anchored. Then we were allowed to put our clothes on again and after everything was carefully examined, all pencils, fountain pens, etc., broken -they could contain hidden explosives -, the Marines drove us up the gangway with their bayonets.

This is how her father described being jailed and extradited to an unknown destination. 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.
