European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
There may have been a decree of the ‘Fuehrer’– so we were called up.
-
Erwin, a collegue also working in my company,
-
built climbing irons. He was a toolmaker and able to do things like that.
-
I organized a rope, and we made this trip.
-
It was a great experience; many had again and again said:
-
Erwin, go ahead, do that when the war has ended. I said: What one has, one has.
-
I wouldn't have had another possibility to make such a mountain trip on the Großglockner mountain.
-
But I don't want to go on talking of this mountain trip...
-
But the conscription ...
-
We had to report, somewhere here in Kreuzberg.
-
Another man and I were deferred.
-
We got the order to take the train to Heuberg the next day or the day after.
-
We just were two overdue ones, spare ones, who went there on that day.
-
I got to know Otto Linke’s wife then, as well.
-
Before he had been in the SAP (socialistic labour party), and so we quickly got in contact with each other.
-
So we went to Heuberg, that training camp in Wuerttemberg.
-
Something else that you can never really forget:
-
In the crew shack was also a bible student.
-
He refused to take a weapon.
-
One evening you sat together with him, during the night he was sentenced to death.
