1945

And then came the war well. With 18 - to indent, I had to. The apprenticeship - March - yes, 19, I was probably already 19 The apprenticeship was in March to the end and then, in the '40s, I had to get to work service. And then four years up to Murmansk. Yes, we have bivouacked in the snow. The cold has given us nothing. Have predicted, we will not stand up on the tundra, but everything about it is, it's just a matter of will. In particular, the cold is only a matter of will. If - if the will diminishes, the force decreases, then comes the cold temperature, not before. Yes. And so - and then, in 1945 I came home too. We drove down from above in Trondheim. When we were finally Altach .. We were not in captivity .. The North Sea Corps had the weapons first - the heavy weapons removed after four weeks of the English. Four guns with ammunition they had to keep himself on guard, guard gate. Then they asked us if something happens, shoot accurately, because nothing will happen. Otherwise, the Russ' speeches at the forehand. Yes, nothing happened. And then we are just as this came home, yes, three more days in Salzburg. Yes, above, the summer of 1945, as we have lived the best. The North Sea Corps had food for a whole year because we did not save.
