My father was jailed because he fought for socialism.
-
It was obvious, that I would work in the same track,
-
therefore would not passively let it wash over me, but work against it.
-
I was not alone and we had learned not just to back off when the enemy attacked, but to think about where to start a counter-attack.

If you were sure about being needed in the time after Hitler, to that time this was an important sentence: “…for the time after Hitler.”
-
So you would work illegally but do not take unnecessary risks.
-
It was obvious that you would deliberately throw a spanner in the works,
-
as long as you could and as long as you could breathe.
-
It was the same with many others.
-
End of war
-
Towards the end of the war I was seriously wounded another time.
-
I was buried by a British aircraft-bomb for a short time and then unconscious for two days.
-
The 8th May I witnessed in an auxiliary military hospital in British captivity.
-
Only few who were pleased like me. Some just did not care.
-
Some, mostly young officers that were in the military hospital with me, were set really hostile towards the change.
-
Like this: “Now it has to keep on going, we have to keep on fighting!”
-
Some of them played a role in the so called ’Werewolf’
-
as a leader of young people who put up a fight against the occupants.
-
Relationship between men and women of resistance
-
During the illegal fight emotions had to be pushed back as far as possible.
