-
Then I was sent to the headquarters of the 1st regiment in Nis.
-
I arrived there and was in the 'personnel department'.
-
My job was to question those who joined the Partisans and became noncommissioned officers.
-
I had to ask them where they had been, I had to thoroughly interrogate them and find out what kind of past they had.
-
So that’s how it came to be that I was in the 1st regiment up until November 1945.
-
Short visit at mothers home
-
When I arrived I went and found my mother. Then this man had to bring us across because the bridge was down.
-
It had been burned. He brought us across and my mother and I, me with my stolen bicycle and she with hers,
-
headed up through the Zadrecka valley. It’s about eight kilometers uphill.
-
Then the Partisans stopped me
-
and claimed that I was a German soldier dressed as a Partisan, who wants to stay in a liberated Yugosalvia.
-
I said listen, listen …
-
But they pulled out a revolver and aimed at me. My mother began to cry. They would have shot me if it hadn’t been for her.
-
They claimed that I had killed a Partisan, dressed in the Partisan uniform and thrown away the German one. It wasn’t true.
-
I joined the Partisans in 1943, I had all my documents, and I could prove it. In the end we made it home.
-
It was the morning or maybe afternoon of May 16th when I arrived here at Kropa.
-
That’s just how things were at Kropa after the war; people were gone.
-
I went back to Celje too; with the bicycle. Our brigade had already left.
-
Mesic had said to me that he had heard we would be moving out of Celje.
-
I said that if they move before I return, for them to leave a message at this woman’s house.
