Auer, which is below the village, Auer. Have you heard? This has been called the hell of South Tyrol. Because they have bombed the bridge continuously since near the village. Then they are - they started - there are many around in the lake or around the lake are like bombs. And when the big ammunition depot above the Caldaro .. - We must guard the then - afterwards. That's what they - the Germans conquered the march. And the Italian have chased all, it had to guard us. For the - as you say? - South Tyrol's Home Service has been told. And that is all things - have been full grenades. If that would explode after - they're just always wrong - would be on the ground was half cold. Because there are all the barracks have been full of ammunition. Mainly anti-aircraft shells. And then charges all genres. And the - part of it is still down. And that has exploded in '48 then on 26 July. Since ten dead have been. Down in the - this was again the Italians had. Afterwards, in a 48-year. As all around was the whole vine, razed everything to the ground. And in cold up in the streets all the windows have been broken. The finest window almost from Italy with the twelve apostles, there was broken on the lower side of everything. It's been beautiful windows at the church. And up until then, all the way to the top Mendel also panes were broken. Top. There was a heavy flak because Talfer in bed in Bolzano. And one was over there in Schreckbichl. And then there was another in Marizing. And they have taken from afar with a heavy anti-aircraft fire in a heavy battery, and also have two or three planes hit, and they have the same drop the bombs and have caught us. I know very well what was there over the case. I have already written, I have it, I think once read that there is over there in the Pozzo duds through the house in the middle. And the second floor of the mother and the daughter of the stove to have lunch prepared. And behind them is the bomb down and they're down with the hot stove in the basement. And down they have gone unscathed. And in the lower floor was the farmer, an elderly man, and has also carried away. That is a bomb in our history. That is why they have the Mother of God - the people have all said this is a miracle.
