And Andreas Hofer? What you said Andreas Hofer? - Yes, then, for me that was really a hero. Once we have our class - we went to Achenkirch, and as we have seen a movie. My first film. And that was a film by Andreas Hofer, from his life and death. And since I was very excited then, that a Tyrolean - and today I am a bit - with my current experience - experience, I see it a little differently. Whether that was absolutely right now, but I think he has really. felt let down by the Emperor at that time. And in that context I find it a bit more. Since there is such an old Tyrolean Song of Andreas Hofer, "Oh heavens, it is playful - you know that? Unfortunately I can not sing because I'm a little hoarse. "I can not live long, death is coming, I will give the farewell." I do not remember now. Since I was with my daughter and son and a grandchild in Crete on holiday And as I said, "Well, I very much want to visit a military cemetery in Crete," because as a cousin of my mother, who crashed in Crete I have. I thought maybe I find But I have not found -. my daughter is gone in with me to the cemetery, we heard singing from a distance - men's voices are there when eight, nine men stood everyone has had his hat in his hand. .. so held, and who sang the song, probably a fellow who sang: "Oh heavens, it's playful" - I was so touched at that time meant to me And since then the Andreas Hofer again some day - white.. . I do not know how I really am It's all this - it was just the time very different.
