The
Army removed Roland Vogt from the 1st Division and placed him in
the 94th Division in September 1944. He fought for 13 months through
south central and northern France and south central Germany until
he met Russian soldiers at the Elbe River near Czechoslovakia.
| The
Army instructed Vogt to insert a compass up his rectum if captured.
The military expected him to escape and use the compass to find
his way to safety. |
Roland Vogt carried this "A-hole" compass to use in
case of capture, 1944
