And then the siren went and then they shot, salutes the Russians. Since the war was over. Then I thought to myself. Now you've got through so long and now it has caught up. It is what it is you certainly did. And then we came to Russia with the truck, with freight trains. Here we are eighteen days been traveling to Russia. We stopped again and stopped. And then we almost died of thirst. When the water came in, a few buckets, they have always brought in, until you have something caught, all located on the ground. And I was the only one then in Russia, who was still on his feet to get water to some extent. I then dropped out, got up and came slowly to a well. And I think to myself: "For God's sake, water!" We're dying of thirst more than hunger. .. And then we got the water. And I thought if I could only get near the fountain a work! And so it was.
