I rode on another few hundred meters and then five or six people, girls too, surrounded me.
-
They said that I was mobilized into the German army. I even said so myself.
-
But I wondered how these strangers could know.
-
One of the soldiers said to me, actually he was a civilian, to show my bombaska.
-
How is one to know? …foreign people, strangers …
-
So I pulled it out of the pocket of my German uniform, up here on the left side we had a pocket,
-
and I took the paper out and handed it over.
-
The leader said votja, charasho, meaning thank you that I gave him the paper.
-
They took my horses there, when I was surrounded;
-
and I was made to taste some food, to test whether it was really edible.
-
I don’t know if later they ate that food or not.
-
They chased me three or four kilometers away.
-
But even before I was taken prisoner, the watch was taken off my hand.
-
I remember thinking how it made no difference.
-
When they caught me, they took me to the village called Balakleja and they locked me up in a hen coop.
-
Perhaps it was two by two meters, or one by one.
-
I just know that I was locked up for an eternity, at least it seemed that way.
-
I don’t know whether it was afternoon or the next day, but two soldiers came in and asked me if I’m German or not.
-
No, I’m not, I’m Yugoslavian.
-
They knew nothing of any Yugoslavians.
