They had the cheek to say: “Kissing is not enough. Remember the ‘Fuehrer’ needs soldiers, the ‘Fuehrer’ needs offsprings!”
-
We just went through such a thing with throbbing heart, but that had nothing to do with emotions.
-
Apart from that we had connections to our (female) radio operators that were abroad,
-
but that was initially limited to radio contact and coded correspondence.

When I was in Eger on holiday or because I needed my glass eye I used to say to the battalion’s doctor:
-
“Well, in Warsaw they are not able to make decent glass eyes.
-
In Wiesbaden they make the best glass eyes.
-
Then I got marching orders from near the front or from Russia or Poland to Wiesbaden
-
and then I took a detour past Eger. And i told to one or two:
-
“During this time I will be available in Eger. Can’t you come there, as well?”
-
We then met female comrades who were in Norway or Copenhagen.
-
It was very hard to co-ordinate such a holiday,
-
but it was obviously an exchange of experience that was thorough,
-
because you had to confine yourself to communicating in telegram styles during radio or coded correspondence.
-
And now you were able to analyse together: What has happened and what needs to be done?
-
These meetings took place, but it was really a thing that was quite free of emotions.

Injuries and being a radio operator
-
It was a bagatelle that brought me in front of the court martial in Africa.

-
As it was, I was taken to the court martial and condemned to the punishment battalion in Africa.
