When we arrived in the moor and got off, the constable,
-
who was accompanying us, said: “Poor boys.”
-
He knew what was going on in the moor.
-
We were then handed over to the SA.
-
It already started then – the yelling: “Face Left! Who steps out of line will be shot.”
-
That’s how we got to ‘Börgermoor’.
-
Then we were taken there by a narrow-gauge railway.
-
We were newly clothed
-
and the quartermaster who was a SA man, too, asked: “Why are you here?”
-
I said: “Because of sports”.
-
“Well, then do 25 sweet ones.”
-
Those were 25 squats.
-
Well, I did them.
-
“And, did you do well?” I said: “I hope so, Mr. Officer.”
-
“Well, then do another lot.”
-
After that they took away our leather shoes and gave us wooden ones like those worn by the Dutchmen.
-
And then they plunked down foot rags for us and the wooden shoes.
-
“We have a nice sports ground here we would like to show you. There you can do sports.”
-
On the sports ground they chased us around.
