Once I was in my home village and Germans came suddenly at night.
-
Luckily it was very dark and they were roaming about with torches.
-
I was on the verge of coming home to my house and what was I to do?
-
They were going to inspect the houses. I got an idea.
-
I thought it wisest to follow the patrol to see where they were going. So I followed them, only meters behind, through the entire village.
-
I was careful of how I walked as not to be too loud. It was utterly dark but I didn’t need a torch.
-
I could move around independently or in small units, arranging ahead what we would do. I was also a courier.
-
We would always travel in pairs.
-
I wasn’t entirely aware of how dangerous it was. That was a great advantage to me.
-
To the same time it increased the danger factor, but things worked out. Many men, who were just as foolish as I, fell.
-
I am left with an almost romantic regard of combat, as if it was a romantic period. Which of course it wasn’t; far from it.
-
At the same time we were also falling in love. I was prepared to walk all night just to see my beloved from afar.
-
In short, we lived intensively under the conditions of war. We had to be careful.
-
There would be a meeting and we would dance and go wild, then we would fight the very next day.
-
This became the norm of our lives, we learned to count on it.
-
It was all the easier in the Primorje region, in the Karst especially.
-
Anywhere you came, someone immediately gave their cow to slaughter so the entire brigade could feast on goulash.
-
When I traveled as a courier, I was always fed.
-
If I was wet I was dried no matter what house I stepped into.
-
Despite that you were alone, everywhere and anywhere you always had the feeling that you belonged together.
