1939

So for me it was a tremendous upheaval. There comes to us anything to what you can not guess what's there now. That is something huge, so even before the French campaign is not. And then it's going left. And then on the radio always the fanfare, reports of victory: France defeated - and so on. And so. That was on the one hand, almost a joy and on the other one had to say: "You know, that can not end well for us." That was such an uncertain time! Each Atlas has normal - so do not have to have studied say that it is impossible for us. The Germany and Austria and all the occupied states around it. In Africa, the entire Balkans, all occupied! And lead nacher as against Russia, a vast empire, war. Yes, many soldiers, I said - I have thought and said: "So many soldiers we do not even have to fill all this, yes." And later still lead to a vast empire of war - that can not go out, yes.
