Chapter 3 was mainly about Billy's time jumps while being a captor of the Germans. His main jump focuses on his visits to the lions club and his drive home. The part that struck me most during the time warp is his relation of the black ghetto after the riots to the fire bombing of Dresden. This was the first real blatant relation of the authors life and the life of Billy Pritchet.
Towards the end of the chapter Billy meets Wild Bill in the a train yard in Germany ware the prisoners where being held. Wild Bill told Billy to look him up if he was ever in Cody, Wyoming. The prisoners of war are then put on trains organized by rank. He is on the train for two days in harsh conditions before it begins to move. Billy than travels back to the night he is captured by the Tralfamadorians.
