I went to the military district command 3 that there was cancer in the hotel housed in Salzburg. I was born in 1905th Views were born in '17, '16, '15. I come as a vintage 1905th . 'What you want "it was a Bayer-commissioned officer".. I would like to voluntarily report to the Air Force I am radio operator "is calling the Sergeant - I've realized that this is a sergeant was on his distinction and says. "How old are you?" Then I said to him: "I was born in 1905." "Ah, there you are much too old No, as a radio operator - but the Air Force, yes yes, can the Air Force want to.!. - Air Force "Have I said:" Of course I want the air force "" But will as a radio operator not come, I tell you the same.
