My wartime experiences
I was still asleep on Sunday morning when I heard the shots. I look and so many Germans are coming, people are running away across the fields, across the meadows.
We look and they’re chasing my uncle. He couldn’t run any further so he came into our house and went upstairs. He thought they didn’t see him. The Germans saw someone come into our house from afar, surrounded the building and started to search.
My dad was in the stable brushing the horses at the time. Two Huns burst into the stable and took him and put him out by the fence without asking for identification. Two of them stood over him with a machinegun ready to fire. Others went into the attic and saw my uncle. They killed him at once. They locked us in the house and said to each other: “slaughter them all.”
Then an older German ordered them to bring my uncle out of the attic. They saw that he had the proper identification and then they let my dad go and left our house.
