Officer could it have been, and has since received me - since an American was. And has spoken to me - I have mitgehabt confirmation that I was dismissed from the Army. As I thought, I need only be presented, then I can go home. This unfortunately was not. And I speak in a Viennese dialect with "Buberl" at. "Buberl, you want to see it in 20 years, your loved ones." - "What," I say, "twenty years!" And as I turned on the reverse gear - I knew not myself - and I said nothing. They've the Meld-.. Who knew, then, the aircraft and explosives is inside. And eager to know from me what - I did not say anything more. Then it was already evening, they took me to a different villa. There was the general - the German General Field Marshal Sperrle in civilian clothes. To have known me. Not personally, but once seen, this is the banned list. And he talks at me like a sick horse. The only thing I said: "Mr Sperrle, you're in civilian clothes, you have to tell me anything." yes Was an insult to me, he would have good and happy to be my father. But I .. I do not I was. I was never in my whole life. Maybe just the "Buberl" and the 20 years.
