So come one with a motorcycle and leads me to the division staff. But I will skip all - it's actually no one was there who had to be built up, you know. But it was then the division, the 4th Luftwaffe Field Division. And the General has been called - now I can not remember the name. But I'll call him, he'll think of me. - Does not matter. Anyway, I'm going to divisional staff as a lance corporal. I was not moving as long as I've had 14 days sharpened arrest, come to a captain Rosenow - WMG has been called the arms and ammunition - had and I take the set scheduled post of pyrotechnists, sitting on the really only a first lieutenant allowed. But this captain, who has prevailed. He has said he needs a fireman, the typewriting and shorthand may, or he takes absolutely no fireworks. And now comes the corporal, the small Mandler. He has welcomed me with joy. I immediately started to try the same, as it goes. How has he seen that I can write away from the mouth into the machine and do not have shorthand, he was happy. So, I have the good fortune again and come into the office to the captain, that is, in the divisional staff I have come. The small Mandler. One day - I have to report to the General. For General Pistorius. The captain asks me "What's wrong with you, Corporal?" I said: "Humbly, sir, I do not know." In any case? groomed, geschnäuzt, shaved her hair? I am about to General Pistorius. And be his cleaner, has been expecting me. The general has had its own farm. Did he say: "Are you the Mandler?" Did I say, "Yes." "Then just come," a Bayer. "Come on, walk on, the General is waiting for you." I said, "You know what's going on?" Says he: "No, I do know nothing, but you need not fear you, the general is a great guy." So I go properly to the general. The General says: "At ease what have you made in Salzburg." Zack. "Humbly, sir, I have made in Salzburg nothing." "It is not, I've got a letter from the Gestapo in front of me! Have you had something to do with the Gestapo?" Now I had in a few minutes to consider what to tell the general. All I can say to him, otherwise I probably come out the door no more out. Then I reported to him: "Humbly report, sir, I am not a member of the Nazi Party." Then he looked at me big. Somehow it seemed to me he has geblinselt or not. I do not know. Anyway, he says, "resignation." Oh, my heart would soon fall into the pants. I come out alive! I'll be back in the divisional staff, all waiting for me. And then of course I have not told the truth, I only said: "My family .." and nothing more.
