During WWII a badly injured British pilot has to bail out over occupied France.

He's found, in very bad shape, and transferred to the medical wing of a German prisoner of war camp. After a week, the doctors tell him that the infection in his left leg means they're going to have to amputate. "OK," says the airman. "Just, if you would, do me one favour. Drop the leg over my airbase in England." The Germans think this is an odd request, but they can't see anything particularly wrong with it so they agree. The following week, the infection has spread to his right leg and they decide they have to amputate that too. The airman makes the same request for the amputated limb to be dropped over his base and they agree. By the third week, the infection has spread to the unlucky airman's left arm, and they announce they have to take it off too. The man again asks the Germans to drop it over his base but, this time, they refuse. "Nien, zis ve cannot do." "Why?" asks the airman, confused. "Ve zink you are trying to escape."
