So I enlisted in Klagenfurt. From above we might get a contact.
-
When I was in Klagenfurt, you know how it is with the military – today like this, tomorrow like that.
-
From Klagenfurt to Salzburg; from Salzburg to Lienz, East Tyrol.
-
Then to Italy via Venice, Rome up to … near Monte Cassino.
-
Then we were sent to the front.
-
There I was wounded, had a first and second-degree frostbite
-
and because of that I got into the military hospital in South Italy, in Sora.
-
From there to Venice, then to Merano.
-
Then back to Germany, Black Forest, Solingen – there was a hospital.
-
Afterwards I always thought:
-
Well, I have to get out.
-
I made an application to be moved to the military hospital in Klagenfurt.
-
They allowed it.
-
On the first day in Klagenfurt, my mother came to see me.
-
She told me that the partisans said:
-
“Come and join us soon, we are waiting for you!”
-
After 14 days the medical consultant of the hospital said:
-
“I will grant you a holiday although I know 100% that you will never come back.”
-
My answer was: “I will come back, where else should I go?”
-
I was with walking sticks, I couldn’t go anywhere.
