European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
There was a labour movement that manifested itself. I was already part of the working class.
-
In these conditions the 1936 movement manifested itself a little bit everywhere and there were big demonstrations.
-
It meant very much to the working class movement in France. It was important.
-
Reasons for resistance
-
I would have been disloyal to my own convictions, if I hadn’t joined the resistance.
-
My grandfather was jailed in the KUK Empire,
-
Emperor Royal Monarchy of the Habsburgs, because he fought for socialism.
-
My father was jailed because he fought for socialism.
-
It was obvious, that I would work in the same track,
-
therefore would not passively let it wash over me, but work against it.
-
I was not alone and we had learned not just to back off when the enemy attacked, but to think about where to start a counter-attack.
-
If you were sure about being needed in the time after Hitler, to that time this was an important sentence: “…for the time after Hitler.”
-
So you would work illegally but do not take unnecessary risks.
-
It was obvious that you would deliberately throw a spanner in the works,
-
as long as you could and as long as you could breathe.
-
It was the same with many others.
-
End of war
-
Towards the end of the war I was seriously wounded another time.
-
I was buried by a British aircraft-bomb for a short time and then unconscious for two days.
-
The 8th May I witnessed in an auxiliary military hospital in British captivity.
