Alexander White - Receiving air drops from the Russians
Transcript: We mostly got most of the food, most of the ammunition, most of the gun, was dropped to us by British fliers, by American fliers, because they made an agreement with Tito, if he fights the war against the Germans, we'll get all the supplies we needed, and we did get it. And that's how we got most canned food and ammunition and supplies. Actually, what the American GIs ate or the British GI ate, we were eating. And whatever we needed to get raw food, vegetables, bread and so on, we acquired from the local population, because the, there was plenty sheep, plenty cheese, goats, cows, and many of things that the farmers gave us, potato and vegetables. The only thing we were lacking is lemon. So, some people got scurvy for some reason. But otherwise, we didn't starve to death, but we had sustaining food from the British and from the Americans.
