I think we were there in Krasnogorsk perhaps about one month.
-
Once, Mesic came to visit; by rank he was a general.
-
He was the father of the current Croatian Mesic, the one who is now president or something.
-
So his father came to us and said boys, whoever wants to join the brigade can go and fight the Germans.
-
It was either to get away from the encampment,
-
or maybe just to get away from being controlled,
-
or maybe even we were fully conscious, but we chose to join the units.
-
I joined the Yugoslav brigade; that’s what it was called later, but then it was a detachment.
-
At the time there were perhaps about 200 of us, or 300, 400 …
-
I joined and I don’t know if I was weak or not; I probably was.
[00:03:06.10 -
But I came to that headquarters where Mesic was the commanding officer and he said that I’d be going to someone.
-
Who? I didn’t know.
-
But it came to be that I went to this man who had been living in Russia since 1918, or maybe even earlier, since WWI.
-
His name was Jevremovic.
-
I came to this man wearing a uniform, and I spoke Serbian with him,
-
and he told me that I was going to be with him as his courier.
-
As prisoner of war in the Soviet Union
-
Perhaps it was a week or two or three, I can’t say because we didn’t follow calendar days.
-
They didn’t even know calendars in Russia at the time.
-
I was taken prisoner when i was riding my horses, packed with food, to the front line, to the German front.
