-
They tied me up with some wire and shoved me to some headquarters.
-
There was a huge table in a very large room, and the officers were sitting over there.
-
I don’t know what kind of officers they were. They asked me all sorts of things.
-
Perhaps I’d been thinking about it in the hen coop, I was asked for my surname.
-
I said Ivan Ivanovic Srcnikov.
-
That was almost my death, although I didn’t know it.
-
And then one of the officers, he says to me in Russian what’s your surname?!
-
I responded Ivan Ivanovic Srcnikov. He said I’m not Yugoslavian, but rather a Vlach.
-
The Vlachs were Russian soldiers who had gone over to the enemy side, or who had been taken prisoner.
-
They had gone over and joined the German army.
-
Then that officer said sitchas mi vidjot, meaning we’ll see now, if you really are Yugoslavian.
-
I wondered how he could figure that out over a thousand kilometers away.
-
They shoved me off again, untied me and locked me back in the hen coop. I was there perhaps a day or perhaps only hours.
-
Hours were an eternity.
-
The same two soldiers came again and tied me up and covered my eyes.
-
I thought: goodbye Slovenia, Yugoslavia, I’m going to be shot.
-
I knew that the Russians shot the German soldiers somewhere down there by the plum trees.
-
I was sure I was going to be shot.
-
The two soldiers tied up my eyes and I thought goodbye parents, I’m going to die now.
-
We stepped out of the hen coop and one of them said that we’re going to headquarters.
