“Don’t let yourself get released towards the east!”
-
In October 1946 I got on a transport to West-Berlin.
-
This is how I got home from war captivity.
-
My parents lived somewhere else, as they had been bombed out.
-
And now the new life began after all these incidents that you experienced over the years.
-
Italy, Tunesia, capture
-
We got to Naples.
-
There was a ship, which had been declared as a hospital ship (with a red cross on it) –
-
that had been transporting ammunition.
-
The Italian members of the resistance found out about it and the ship was bombarded.
-
And we had to take the wounded into hospital.
-
Often ships were declared as hospital ships but transported ammunition.
-
From Naples we were flown to Tunisia in a Ju52.
-
It flew close to sea level – it never went higher.
-
A few machines of that group were brought down.
-
They all died a wretched death drowning in the Mediterranean Sea.
-
There was no way of rescuing them.
-
When we came to Tunisia they said at the airport: “What do you want here?”
-
Many people or many soldiers were heading back.
-
Higher units – Rommel and these were here, too.
