-
Afterwards we were appointed in the mountains.
-
Grenade launchers lie in ambush.
-
And we were positioned on a plateau, where the Americans could see and directly shoot us.
-
We were on a downright kamikaze mission.
-
If we had shot, we would have been bombarded – we wouldn’t have survived.
-
So we placed the grenade launcher there, moved along for another 20m and then one said:
-
“We will build something, so we can protect ourselves from the direct bombardment a little bit.”
-
We fired one shot and, in return, our grenade launcher was totally destroyed.
-
It was a kamikaze mission. They wanted to exterminate us.
-
Later on we went back and then I spoke to some of the others:
-
“We have to run away now.”
-
It was the end of April, and on the 10th May, or so, they surrendered. There were some doubts:
-
“They will inform Germany - He deserted.”
-
I said: “that is all nonsense. They won’t have any time left to do that.”
-
But I still stayed with Otto Linke – and went into captivity with him.
-
That was on the 30th April.
-
I said: “Otto, from the 1st of May we will stay in the mountains, as free men.”
-
And on the 2nd May we were arrested by Moroccans.
-
We were passed on to the French
-
and after that, we came to the English, and later on to the Americans.
