At the end of WW2, as the Allies were starting to win, there were 3 prisoners of war held together in a cell. Two were German officers and one an Italian soldier. The men were to be held for questioning. The first day the Allied soldiers took the first German in to be questioned. The guards sit him in a chair and tie his arm behind him so he can't move. They pressed and pressed but after hours of interrogation he finally cracks and gives away some key troop positioning. The intel is confirmed good and he is thrown back in the cell only a little worse for ware. The next day they decide to take in the second German officer. In the same manner as the first they sit him down, tie him up and begin the interrogation. They spend hours trying to get him to crack but with some physical convincing he gives up the cypher key he knows. The guards then toss him back in the cell, a little beaten but nothing too bad. On the third day the guards take away the Italian. They take the entire day trying to get him to crack but no amount of convincing or torture will even get a word from his lips. At the end of the day with nothing to show the toss the nearly beaten to death Italian back in the cell. The guard says "You WILL talk tomorrow" Thoroughly impressed by the Italians devotion to the cause the Germans ask how he kept his secrets. The Italian says: "How do they expect me to talk with my hands tied behind my back?"
