1945

We were then - I do not now, but as a group of fifteen men, heavily armed, we were. So we had all the machine guns, and .. and hand grenades and rifles and machine guns of course. So, we were heavily armed and have told us that we stop defending ourselves, not because they get us out '. And then it came out - the military police. So who were called "watch dogs", that military police were called. And someone who could hang without trial, or shot on the spot. And then you - I was sitting in front of the house, and they came and said: .. Here German soldiers are "Well, I had a leather trousers, but a Wehrmacht shirt and a pistol in his belt, and I said." Yes, I do not know, "I say," You can still go into the house and , see if there are German soldiers. . I have not seen any "there came - from all the windows were the tubes of the machine guns and stuff." Ah, "they said," we see, here, no German soldiers are "And then they -. They have turned around !.. and they went, faster, and then they're gone So nothing happened And the same thing a few days later the Americans came up - up down with the jeep, very relaxed, said: "German soldiers" And another one said: ". No German soldiers", and so - again came out the tubes, they said, "Okay, boys, we see, there is no German soldier," and are then very slowly and casually to her Jeep drove away, and so -.. nothing happened They would, of course, can request a low-flying aircraft and the whole thing would have flown in the air as experiences you have, you never forget This is -.. was a great time, it is a nice feeling. . to be brave This one has not even realized I now know that time was all that -.. yes, left to luck or to God..
