1945

I was perfectly preserved for years now, since before any Nazi indoctrination. I am then - as I said - on 10 August has been released 1944th Even before that, still in uniform, I have the evening - at six clock was in the barracks final service - I have kept the evening courses at the university to ten clock, where the light was always turned off. I'm in the second Stock must go down in the dark and unlock. I have kept 14 hours a week in addition to the military. When I was free then, in August 1944, I have these lectures, of course, can set the date. And then I was preparing intensively for the habilitation. And that was actually already in 1944, is gone. There was the time after the bombing, where almost every day was always alert. It was a meeting of the faculty, where as a lecturer, was to represent as a future teacher and has been tested. How do I - there was once an air raid alarm, I'm from the tunnel out to the university. Since even an attack was there, the courage Habilitation meeting is canceled. Then the dean said to me, he may convene a new session, because the post no longer works. If I am willing to personally invite all professors, ie letters to deliver, then he makes a meeting at eight clock in the evening because there were no air raids in the evening. And then it was just before Christmas 1944 without this session, light. The light was broken. The professor had Leski, thank God, a candle. The candle was placed before the dean. And with this candle, I've passed my Habilitation. I have the time the title of Dr. phil. habil. , I get the result may not because he is not in Austria are. The appointment as a lecturer then always makes the kingdom ministry. It went with me no more, because the connection was more with Berlin. So my act was put aside.
