The French and German police came to arrest us in the middle of the night.
-
They came at four, five o’clock in the morning, knocked on the door.

-
We were very careful to say as little as possible.

Then we were taken to a kangaroo court in Rouen.

We knew they would never let us go, but we did not know what was going to happen after imprisonment.

I knew the risk I was taking. But to be able to hide you needed a place to do so.

But I was arrested two or three weeks before I was about to leave and really go undercover.
