Mary Mion, a 13-year-old American soldier, fought with nearby Germans and stole a cake from a window in Italy.

The U.S. military has given a birthday cake to an Italian woman – 77 years ago when it was cold in the window, American soldiers exchanged a cake stolen from her.

Meri Mion turns 90 this Friday (29/4) – 13 years old when she saw fighting between U.S. troops and German soldiers in the village of San Pietro near Vicenza in the Veneto region.

Mary’s mother made her a birthday cake, but it was snatched away by opportunistic and implicitly hungry Americans.

Myon said he would share the alternative cake with his relatives.
