- 
The women were really poor.
- 
Because they really had to pay for this, more than the others.
- 
But they were really brave women.
- 
Some were braver than the men.
- 
Three of those women I took into my heart and will never forget.
- 
They had no fears.
- 
If there was any returned shooting they shot just the same as the others.
- 
But some were placid.
- 
They had nothing to laugh about, because of their “monthly problems”.
- 
To manage all that and get through was not easy.
- 
But they did get through and showed courage.
- 
Most of them did the paper work in the battalions, for the bigger organisations.
- 
But not everyone got a job like that.
- 
But it was not easy for the women.
- 
Some women were picked to help the wounded.
- 
They were also very courageous. They helped as well as they could.
- 
When I was wounded on 19th March 1945, women were there, as well.
- 
They helped me first and then carried me to a farmer’s
- 
and from there behind a hut that had been a wood shed before.
- 
They had a shack for the forestry workers and that was where I lived until the end of the war.
