-
and my friend, a foreman, asked me:
-
“Why didn't you come to the demonstration?”
-
Since we were old friends, I told him I had stayed in bed, since I was better off there.
-
That stupid guy went to report me to the fascists
-
and they gave me castor oil and beat me up in 1939.
-
I went to the Army, I stayed away five years
-
without talking to him, then a common friend came up to me and said
-
“Look, that guy … “ and I told him that I didn't even want to see that stupid guy.
-
I didn't want to react, we even remained sort of friends,
-
but I remember there were two or three older men with clubs,
-
and I was weighing about 40 kilos by then,
-
I mean, being beaten up was not funny.
-
See, this is why I never wanted to see the fascists,
-
I'm “glad” they gave me 42 months of war to do. I never liked them.
-
Conclusion: against war and fascism
-
When I came home, I joined (I hadn’t been politically organized before) the SED,
-
that was the association of the social democrats, communists and many independent people.
-
I worked in the ministry occasionally
-
and was temporarily at the SED in Tempelhof as the 2nd secretary,
-
later on even as party secretary for a company in Johannisthal.
