join the american army, to settle down, don't go back to the british and what my colleague daniel krebs has found, he's gone over to germany and through the muster roles, a lot of the guys come back, they enlist the american army and once the american army gets somewhere close to new york city, they'll run away. they'll go back and rejoin the regiments. so i think we had this idea that the germans were forced here, and miserable and mal treated and had no loyalty to their princes that sent them for money, right? it is not really true. these are regular basically professional soldiers, they have -- they have sworn an oath, they feel a duty, and they want to get home at the end of the war. so we don't really know, but it is much more complicated than we would like it to be. >> thank you to dr. jones for his talk this evening. >> thank you.
