The first time I must tell you. I was driving ski, very much alone. Should we not know but I've done. If no one was there, and such a nice weather and beautiful snow, I'm gone stop. And since I was in the Stubai, have a nice ski tour made even in the back inside the glacier. In the evening I'm also driven home to Fulpmes and by train. And since it happened like a swarm of bees, that is, the people at the station, many, and all very excited. Then I thought: "Well, what's the matter?" Slowly I'm on it came, was there the first bomb attack on Innsbruck. I've realized since then. And then I thought, well - I've lived outside, in the Hörtnaglsiedung, so this is much further out. Solar street? that was then later with the bunkers and tunnels. But that was the first attack since I've lived out there. And that is located at the center of the forest railway, the settlement out there. I thought, "Well, out there is already not have been." And then I heard one who said: "Out there in the All Saints 'farms', it was like my neighborhood," there are the bombs dropped on account of the Mittenwald railway. "Because they did indeed take the middle path forest. I have very mixed feelings out, because I felt that maybe everything is in ruins. It has indeed can not even imagine what can happen. And as for the house only windows were broken. But of course it was already terrible times.
