The bet at Barth
http://www.merkki.com/barthbet.htm
We awoke on Christmas morning for "appell" (roll call) on a bitter cold day. After counting the "Kriegies," Major Steinhauer turned us over for dismissal. It was then we witnessed the payment of the debt by the man who had wagered the war would be over by Christmas. In September 1944, Stark had said to Johnson, "I'll kiss your a** if the war isn't over by Christmas." Stepping out before 1,500 "Kriegies", Second Lt. Stanley M. Johnson of Port Allegany, Penn., lowered his pants and leaned over. Second Lt. Richard D. Stark of Tampa, Fla., came forward with a bucket of hot water and a towel. After washing Johnson's rear end, he folded the towel, placed it over the crack and gave the "cheek" a good kiss,
Fifteen hundred men let out with a cheering and clapping that could be heard in all the other compounds. The German Major Steinhauer stood there with his guards, shaking his head in amazement, not believing what he had witnessed. We were then dismissed.
