I said that if they move before I return, for them to leave a message at this woman’s house.
-
There was an old woman, perhaps she was in her 60s or 70s.
-
Upon my return with that bicycle, I got the message and it wrote Mali –
-
that was my Partisan name – we went to Zagreb, to Maksimir.
-
Coming to Slovenia with the brigade
-
Our brigade stepped onto Slovenian soil at Sedlarjevo without a fight.
-
The Germans were retreating and we went right on in.
-
Then we came down to Podcetrtek.
-
There were people standing along the road in Podcetrtek.
-
We passed by, I was riding my horse – because now I was already a commanding officer of the ‘rear support unit’ –
-
so I was riding my horse and someone calls out Ivo!
-
I felt a shudder of fear. Who could possibly know me here? I had never been to Podcetrtek or anywhere hereabouts.
-
And then a second time Ivo, Ivo, come here!
-
I looked around and recognized the girl. She was a former classmate of mine. She’s still alive today.
-
She came to me and invited me to come over to eat. I told her Thank you,
-
but if I come anywhere near there will be a crawling carpet all over the floor.
-
Why?
-
I explained to her that I was full of lice; we all were.
-
So then we came to Celje on the 12th of April. I wondered how I could get up to here.
-
Well, I was the commanding officer of the ‘rear support unit’. So I went to Mesic and said: Mesic, I’d like to go home.
