I made an application to be moved to the military hospital in Klagenfurt.
-
They allowed it.
-
On the first day in Klagenfurt, my mother came to see me.
-
She told me that the partisans said:
-
“Come and join us soon, we are waiting for you!”
-
After 14 days the medical consultant of the hospital said:
-
“I will grant you a holiday although I know 100% that you will never come back.”
-
My answer was: “I will come back, where else should I go?”
-
I was with walking sticks, I couldn’t go anywhere.
-
It is just a shame that I didn’t go back to that doctor after the war.
-
Then I could have reported: “Mr. Consultant, I am back.”
-
Who supported the partisans?
-
Well, there were only few that weren’t with the partisans.
-
In the town there were more.
-
Bleiburg is a known town and Carinthia was a Nazi stronghold,
-
but the population outside was of different opinion.
-
There were only few and they did not report us to the police –
-
kept quiet and did not keep in touch with us.
-
But only about 10 % weren’t with us.
-
First contact with partisans
