European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
While hanging up posters, we were caught by an SS-patrol, walking a path no patrol ever used.
-
As I am sticking, I say: “Oh, the SS is coming!”
-
I instinctively put my back to the poster, and as was a cold season,
-
I covered the bucket of glue with my coat and she snuggled up to me and said:
-
“Now we have to kiss – it’s the rule!”
-
We kissed to cheat the SS-people and they really thought that is a loving couple.
-
They had the cheek to say: “Kissing is not enough. Remember the ‘Fuehrer’ needs soldiers, the ‘Fuehrer’ needs offsprings!”
-
We just went through such a thing with throbbing heart, but that had nothing to do with emotions.
-
Apart from that we had connections to our (female) radio operators that were abroad,
-
but that was initially limited to radio contact and coded correspondence.
-
When I was in Eger on holiday or because I needed my glass eye I used to say to the battalion’s doctor:
-
“Well, in Warsaw they are not able to make decent glass eyes.
-
In Wiesbaden they make the best glass eyes.
-
Then I got marching orders from near the front or from Russia or Poland to Wiesbaden
-
and then I took a detour past Eger. And i told to one or two:
-
“During this time I will be available in Eger. Can’t you come there, as well?”
-
We then met female comrades who were in Norway or Copenhagen.
-
It was very hard to co-ordinate such a holiday,
-
but it was obviously an exchange of experience that was thorough,
-
because you had to confine yourself to communicating in telegram styles during radio or coded correspondence.
