We just were two overdue ones, spare ones, who went there on that day.
-
I got to know Otto Linke’s wife then, as well.
-
Before he had been in the SAP (socialistic labour party), and so we quickly got in contact with each other.
-
So we went to Heuberg, that training camp in Wuerttemberg.
-
Something else that you can never really forget:
-
In the crew shack was also a bible student.
-
He refused to take a weapon.
-
One evening you sat together with him, during the night he was sentenced to death.
-
The next day, the company had to muster
-
and then watch, as he was murdered at the stake.
-
“That will happen to you, as well,” said the chief of the company
-
“if you don’t do as you are told.”

Gestapo-interrogation, release, support
-
In January 1940 I was taken on a transport.
-
I was not released.
-
During the war it was standard practice that many would not be released.
-
It went via Hannover and then to Berlin.
-
At the Gestapo more interrogations took place.
-
My sister knew that I was coming to Berlin.
-
She daily went there and asked: “When will you release my brother?”
