As we - my mother was there then. We were in Styria at home, and then she was in a unbeheizbaren room in a farmhouse. Here I have had then placed. And then we get up in the sunny street, this apartment as it then came to me also. Of course, could be heard more gunfire, during the last days. And then there was the day on which the surrender was. And then we said. "So, today we will be able to sleep peacefully," Are so to bed at eleven clock calm, well, calm, I mean, you did not know what is coming. But at night, we thought we definitely rest on top of a mountain. Suddenly, around midnight, the bell rings storm. We have not moved, we have remained silent. And then they entered the door immediately below, the front door. So these were the Americans. Then the start, and I am now in the garden in a neighboring house. My mother is still in there first. The next day, then we get things must take what we wanted and needed out of the apartment. We are a friend. And well, then have lived at home, and what we have had, we had a lot of this is not without a few eggs, what's just been so, they have all been used up - Ratzeputz.
