European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
A commercial traveller, an anti-fascist who commuted between the borders,
-
associated me with the anti-fascist group there.
-
For them I was a stranger, they wanted proof:
-
How reliable is this man and what can he do?
-
They said: “We need ammunition. Can you provide us with a box of hand grenades?
-
We have explosives - but not enough - everything else is available!”
-
It was a tough job,
-
but during a transport I put aside a box of hand grenades at the risk of loosing my life and let them know.
-
Three days later the district recruiting office in Bayreuth was blown up with the entire file.
-
In the ammunition factory the most important machine was blown up and the most difficult:
-
on the air field we blew up two out of three machines.
-
It wasn’t me, that were the anti-fascists from Bayreuth, but I helped.
-
The question was what you were able do as a soldier in an unfamiliar environment.
-
We always tried to build anti-fascist cells and if it was one man or two.
-
It was not easy to find out where somebody was, thinking the same as you.
-
You had to proceed carefully with questions.
-
Sometimes somebody told a joke and you could tell by the kind of reaction:
-
is he an opponent of fascism or not.
-
Wherever I went, within short time I always had an anti-fascist cell in my unit.
-
It was a lot easier later, after I was badly wounded
