Joining the partisan army
-
So I went home.
-
On the first evening the partisans, acquaintances were already there.
-
After 14 days the holiday was over.
-
“Well, what are we going to do, mother?” My mother was crying again.
-
She sprinkled me with holy water.
-
“Mother, that doesn’t help! I will not go back to the ones that sentenced us to death.”
-
So I went and the commander of the partisans said:
-
“We will come and pick you up.
-
We will bring enough people so your family won’t be resettled or get locked into jail.”
-
The evening came.
-
No partisan called up, but the commander had told me I would be gone in the evening.
-
I went back to Bleiburg and picked up my military equipment.
-
On the next day I met the commander of the partisans and said to him:
-
“Why didn’t you come?”
-
He said to me:
-
“You know by yourself where you belong.”
-
That was easily said in those days.
-
But it was not an easy thing to do.
-
But the English bombarded Klagenfurt in those days.
