Well, the question was how the population - wanted to have nothing to do with it. As you can see from the one who has to return the diamonds. Or Ludwig, who brought the Kisterl with the jewels to St. Anton. And one has to simply as informers - these were people - that one does not really. They have been a bit of - not from the top - yes, that's not the way to behave Sun Sun at throwing with the money. To order ten suits to have come five living facilities. And it is - one who was perhaps 17 years old, has hired a taxi in Landeck. That was impossible at that time that a person can be driven by taxi from Landeck to Schnann. I think it might be true, this version respect can the emergence of the story that this taxi driver is then turned to the French occupation administration and has given an indication, because not agree that because of the 17-year-old when asked whether he can pay "enough money" and then added .. a bundle of notes shown. And then he can see the gold watches are not. And that was too much. And the interesting thing was that was spoken only by the Hungarian crown jewels, although in the press reports at that time - of course influenced by the occupation? so clearly highlighted was - there were rings found - with blood stains, dried blood. So obviously KZ-Gold. Teeth - that gold tooth. It was perfect, that the gold that Nazi-looted gold from Hungary, has nothing to do with the crown jewels had. But that was not opportune. Wanted - I have never - never heard the word Jew. I have never heard of extermination, persecution - I think I'm already gone into the teacher training college that I ghört the first time like this. And then the people have the - let down the iron curtain. You have nothing more of it - for decades no longer say, to 1995. Until the Prettentaler Norbert came to me in the matter and then the film was "The Golden City".
