Yes, these are - the first attack - I do not remember exactly when that was. The first attack was - I believe - 1943rd The first bomb has fallen in the top Wilten. Then still were two bomb attacks, when I was still here. Not in 1944, I was down there - 1945. There are then, I was in the monastery barracks, they have bombed. We were in the basement below the monastery barracks no longer exist. It has been demolished, an old building. But in the basement below, we were safe. As I have already heard the bombs fall - Bum, bum, bum .. So that's gone. I had no fear. Not the slightest. Then I looked again, who is sitting next to me, the meat scraps are heruntergehangen. The must have just come from the front. I thought to myself: "Here smells something." The meat scraps are heruntergehangen, right - that has looked terrible. In the right foot - terrible. He trembled so. .. Only he has done. What a fool! Sun to start a war! And then he has not declared war on the Americans. I did not want to believe that he is so stupid! to explain to the Americans the war. The doctor is Portisch once came on TV and said: "I do not understand that Hitler declared war on the Americans. I do not understand, yes." And then he's gone. Yes. I've not been able to believe. As already heard this stupidity! The Americans - according to a power! The gains so the war alone! Everywhere declared war - anywhere. Such a crazy man! "Today Germany belongs to us, tomorrow the whole world." Yes, yes.
