-
In the military hospital in Tripoli I was approached by an anti-fascist medical group
-
and an anti-fascist radio operator group,
-
whether I would be able to get fuses, as in Benghazi some comrades were ready to blow something up.
-
They had enough explosives, but no fuses.
-
I had to organize this by taking the alarm post together with two reliable men.
-
Convalescent soldiers from the military hospital were used for that and there we got the fuses.
-
A few days later, in Benghazi, a quarter of the biggest ammunition depot the Rommel-army kept in Africa was blown up.
-
With this a difficult problem emerged:
-
Six Arabs and one German soldier were shot dead,
-
who had not participated at all and now the question came up:
-
“It is your fault that innocent people got shot by the ‘Wehrmacht’!”
-
It had to be weighed up: Which side has to take the higher blame?
-
If you don’t do anything against this criminal regime,
-
if you join in silently, how much are you then to blame?
-
War costs so many deaths - don’t you have to consider
-
that even innocent people loose their life in the fight against fascism?
-
That is already a difficult question in civil life, it was the same under war conditions.
-
We said the fight against the fascist regime had to come before anything else;
-
a very difficult ethic decision.
-
Well, the question of desertion was obviously discussed between all the people who were active as anti-fascists.
