She said I could stay.
-
She made a bed for me; it was so puffed with feathers that I was covered in them.
-
She asked again when I’d be leaving and I said at dawn.
-
When I woke up, perhaps it was five in the morning of the 17th May.
-
There was a huge plate of fried eggs waiting for me.
-
I ate, we said farewell and I continued on to Zagreb.
-
But when I arrived in Zagreb, the brigade was no longer there in Maksimir. I was still on that bicycle.
-
I left the bicycle in front of Maksimir and I went inside to the doorman.
-
When I came back outside, the bicycle was gone. Someone else had stolen it.
-
Easy come, easy go.
-
Of course I had a message. Mali, you must report to general headquarters in Belgrade.
-
I traveled on to Belgrade; it must have been 10 or 12 days. Sometimes I was on a train, sometimes I traveled by foot.
-

I reported to general headquarters in Belgrade and I spent some time there, a week or two, or even a month.
-
Then I was sent to the headquarters of the 1st regiment in Nis.

I arrived there and was in the 'personnel department'.

I had to ask them where they had been, I had to thoroughly interrogate them and find out what kind of past they had.
-
So that’s how it came to be that I was in the 1st regiment up until November 1945.
