European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
It was especially hard in 1917 (as my father was conscripted as a soldier),
-
where the food situation for the German population became more and more difficult.
-
I started school in 1919.
-
The school was not far away from our parents’ flat.
-
Role model functions developed later with progressing age.
-
But there was no role model between the teachers I had.
-
Partly, they were teachers who had been demobbed by the imperial army
-
and who were put into teaching profession; like the sports teacher
-
or the teacher of religious education who had no educational skills.
-
And characteristic for this time was that we had a teacher who was a real bully.
-
When the lesson was about to start, first two or three pupils were given a good thrashing, with the cane.
-
Maybe another thing: I was malnourished and was given 'Quaker feeding'.
-
That was from the United States, from the Quaker association
-
and there I got half a litre of milk soup and a bread roll.
-
You have to see that this was 1920/21, where a lot of problems occurred in this post-war period.
-
Post war period – deserting the army
-
They wanted to keep me in the army when the war ended.
-
I had some sort of Partisan rank,
-
something like second lieutenant, but I had no intention of building a military career.
-
I deserted the army in September 1945.
