The Russians - there was still a treaty of friendship nit, between Stalin and Hitler. "The let us through to Iran," one has been told us. And then there was the night alarm. I remember well, Sunday. And then you had to sit on the vehicle. I of course slept so on this thing. And then in the morning, around four or five, it went off, as if the heavens opened the floor. Wah! Since our artillery has fired away on us and the Russians, who are opposed to masses come, so as prisoners. Have believed sure we free them from communism. So unlike me I can not interpret. The first few days, there are so many Russians, the very thick they came. We have seen the first time. Since the shirts are so - so completely different uniform. And one has to starve. The Russians have indeed lost three times more soldiers than the Germans. And this is so then addressed. And since it's gone over there, until that one has known is that is so eingstellt in which I have to watch. Ge. - - - And in an officer that there is additional knew which side he stands. If he has gegsagt: "Good morning, company", which was perfect. If he has said: "Heil Hitler, company, of course we must be careful.
