Introduction, family, youth
-
Well, I come from a tradesman’s family.
-
My father was a tradesman, a woodworker.
-
My mother was a cook.
-
My mother came from Styria and my father from Carniola. They both met in Ljubljana.
-
I was born 19 April 1924 in Recica near Savinja.
-
Then we moved. As far as our residence is concerned, we moved from
-
Sentjanz, Radmirje, Menges, Luc and we ended up here in Kropa.
-
On 10 July 1942, I was mobilized to the German Arbeitsdienst, the German labor service.
-
I was mobilized into this service, which was a sort of paramilitary type.
-
I was in the Arbeitsdienst for six months.
-
Then I returned in December 1942. By the time I got home, the call-up for the German army was already waiting for me.
-
„The women gave so much“
-
Maybe my sister had a harder time than I did, as she was always in the mountains with all the boys, but they all truly loved her.
-
I know that when she came back to Maro during the summer they would all come to visit her.
-
She got married with the commander of her unit and they moved to Genoa, but they still had a house in Maro,
-
and when they came back a lot of people would go and see them.
