I went to a lady that I saw once in my life. It was my contact spot. She said to me: you can save a child.

They did not want us in sabotage, we were too young. Our scout authorities made it clear not to get us into sabotage.
 - 
There was no real future for us. But that made you stronger to go into the resistance and help wherever you could.
