They said anyway, back then in Ludmannsdorf:
-
“Lock these pests up, then we will have peace in Ludmannsdorf.”
-
These brats – like me – they were supposed to be locked away to have peace in Ludmannsdorf.
-
Many thought something, or guessed something, but nobody exactly knew about the Nazis.
-
As soon as the partisans came into the village and carried out an action,
-
somebody must have smoothed the way for them to come.
-
First partisan action in the village
-
A group of partisans, about 20 of them
-
(a few were with us as well) went to the constabulary
-
and the town hall and took whatever they could do with.
-
At the constabulary they seized weapons and the type writers and stationery.
-
The country constables were having their evening meal
-
and unfortunately one was shot there, because he didn’t put his hands up.
-
One hand went to the pistol - he put the other hand up - and with that he risked his life.
-
The partisan first shouted: “Hands up!” which he didn’t do and so he was shot.
-
That was the first dead person in our house.
-
The field police occupied our house for 10 days, they all were regular SS men
-
and searched the village and the forest where they assumed the partisans to be around.
-
Of course they had already pulled back and disappeared.

Life in fear
