And the young people who have come with 17 years in the military or the SS, the very least have been asked. They have been drafted into the SS I was in the Wehrmacht. And here in Poland because the Poles have always said, "bird, good! Bird there. Bird there? Not good." So the SS, the bird has had on the side, "not good". Those we Wehrmacht, were good. The SS is a power over the armed forces have been, the has taken liberties like no other. The conditions were terrible. I only wish that no young person should experience ever. So the two youngest of my youngest, the older of the two boys, who now also have the military behind him. At 21, 20 have been the military behind him. But they have been at home the next day. And I'm coming home after 20 months the first time. After 20 months! And when 20-year-old somewhere hilly among strangers in a strange area, no mountains, only slightly wavy. They were not fine memories, but you had no other option. You have the experience you need.
