transcription:
That's how we moved to Imst and lived there. On January 8th my son was born, almost in the bunker. We were in the bunker, the midwife sitting next to me. What happened next? My labour pains had started and they led me into the room where the Kreisleiter was. He with his staff were there. I was in there and was in labour when suddenly I couldn't bear it any longer. I went out of the bunker - the all-clear signal hadn't sounded yet- and then my waters broke, out in the forest. Then I went home - I already had my bag with me - and told the midwife that I was going to the hospital, which was in the convent. Sisters were there. The midwife followed me. I gave birth to Reinhard there. Afterwards I had to wait in the delivery room, until the stable hand had finished his work and had changed and washed. Finally he took me out of the delivery room and carried me to my bed.
