-
We also had contact to the issuers, illegal ones,
-
because the commands were working in the motor pool,
-
where, again, where progressive Americans helped us with the information.
-
Anyway, some political and cultural life started.
-
The Americans filmed ‘Buchenwald’,
-
the heaps of dead bodies they found and the circumstances.
-
These films were shown in the USA and then all the prisoners of war had to watch these films.
-
Now to my release: We were transported to Belgium.
-
There the conditions were the same as in Aliceville, where we were taken in the first prison camp.
-
Just before I was released the documents came.
-
And there an associate, Fritz Fiedkau, was declared (in the documents) to be an SS-man.
-
So, in the camp, where he had been before they changed his documents in the assessment
-
they made the antifascist into an SS-man.
-
And an SS-man had already gone home as an antifascist!
-
I did report that later on.
-
We went over to Munsterlager which had the same pattern;
-
corporals, sergeants and so on, they were in command there.
-
“Don’t let yourself get released towards the east!”
-
In October 1946 I got on a transport to West-Berlin.
-
This is how I got home from war captivity.
