1940

The Russian air force which were usually flown by women at night - that were so fabric-covered aircraft, light aircraft. We have always said, "Now again comes the UVD." The sergeant on duty. The UVD. Who have come in the night, then they have ausgschaltet the engine, then they have dropped the bombs and they have let the motor to start again. I have seen on TV, a Russian aviator, which is flown there, who said, so it was sad when it has again caught one, if they like a burning torch has crashed. So when they were fired upon by us. And I'm twice been in the situation. Since we were in Oslo in march, 1941, there is a Russian plane - which certainly was not a woman - that was a real fighter - we had a whole column - there is a plane came over to us. A yard next to us all the shells are einggeschlagen Then he did again a curve? we are not davonglaufen, but went with rifles into position. So at the truck or on the street or are just where I stood. And then he immediately turned off, then he is already gone. He's just us - missed by a meter, or he would have caught the whole column. In Normandy, as we marched there are - have long roads, wide roads, and there were the explosions of the cannons, which have abgschossen the fighters - who have all the columns zusammengschossen vehicles. Whole columns! Which are located on the left and right in the ditch. Burnt out vehicles, all sorts of vehicles. In Normandy, the waging of war was no more. This is exactly the same as if I wanted to kill a fly - like me can fight the fly? Can not fight me. And we have not been able to fight. There are the four-engined flying fortresses on us about it, with 12 MW and have since shot down. So that was - everyone knew, for us the war is lost. But you can not run away.
