These are my war decorations. This is a "In the name of the leader and supreme commander of the Army, Corporal Albert Brecher, Battle in the East"- this is the "frozen meat orders. That was my father in the imperial fighters. And that is the home defense of the surrounding mountains. The homeland defense? Yes 1934 is the Dollfuss in Vienna had been murdered, and since civil war in Vienna, where the military has fired, where the Socialists wanted a Machtveränderung by force, not with negotiations and such. And there was the Wehrmacht - that is, the homeland defense. - when Hitler was after the Hitler Youth. And by the Wehrmacht - that is, in the home defense was the young country. I am as Bua on ahead with 13, 14 years with the pennant. And here we are again marching in Innsbruck, HPs as they all shouted: "Heil Grinzens" and so on.
