The situation seemed to turn more complex, since we still had a King.
-
Then September 8th 1943 arrived.
-
That day we didn’t listen to the radio, since nobody had one.
-
But the news moved fast, on our bicycles.
-
Within an hour of the announcement the whole town knew that the King had signed the armistice.
-
We began to see soldiers wandering in the country, going back home.
-
I had developed an awareness regarding antifascism.
-
I was active together with other women in asking local families to offer hospitality
-
and clothes for these young men who were disbanded.
-
After the King had fled, the army had no leadership.
-
Then the Germans occupied the area, on that same day.

Therefore it might have seemed that there was no leadership left.
