When I arrived I went and found my mother. Then this man had to bring us across because the bridge was down.
-
It had been burned. He brought us across and my mother and I, me with my stolen bicycle and she with hers,
-
headed up through the Zadrecka valley. It’s about eight kilometers uphill.
-
Then the Partisans stopped me
-
and claimed that I was a German soldier dressed as a Partisan, who wants to stay in a liberated Yugosalvia.
-
I said listen, listen …
-
But they pulled out a revolver and aimed at me. My mother began to cry. They would have shot me if it hadn’t been for her.
-
They claimed that I had killed a Partisan, dressed in the Partisan uniform and thrown away the German one. It wasn’t true.
-
I joined the Partisans in 1943, I had all my documents, and I could prove it. In the end we made it home.
-
It was the morning or maybe afternoon of May 16th when I arrived here at Kropa.
-
That’s just how things were at Kropa after the war; people were gone.
-
I went back to Celje too; with the bicycle. Our brigade had already left.
-
Mesic had said to me that he had heard we would be moving out of Celje.
-
I said that if they move before I return, for them to leave a message at this woman’s house.
-
There was an old woman, perhaps she was in her 60s or 70s.
-
Upon my return with that bicycle, I got the message and it wrote Mali –
-
that was my Partisan name – we went to Zagreb, to Maksimir.
-
Coming to Slovenia with the brigade
-
Our brigade stepped onto Slovenian soil at Sedlarjevo without a fight.
-
The Germans were retreating and we went right on in.
