My War ... Part 8 -8 -
This now I know what fascism is, and when the war was certain, as all the Soviet people that the Nazis - All Germans. But even during the war, my faith was shaken. This is not the same thing.
After the shootings of Jewish and other punitive measures, villagers perceived with horror the arrival in town of a German regiment. Very surprised when their homes were to resettle tenants - front Regiment arrived on holiday. In our house lodged a German officer, a young math teacher from Berlin - his name is Hans Peterzen. He was an orderly, time the day went to clean the room, clean suit and bring breakfast to his patron. In a small room, which housed a bed, table and chair, a door absent. Our guest was surprisingly sensitive and even shy person. Returning home in the evening, he gently knocked on the door and quietly informed his name. My kutsoe learning German in school yet made it possible to somehow communicate with tenants. He was very homesick and looking tenderly a photo of his ugly bride. Clearly sympathizing with me, he never allowed himself to disrespect. His denschik, a simple villager, knew nothing about this war, endlessly talked about his farm, parents, beloved garden. He "licked" his boss room, cleaned up the last dust resistant suit and cleared the approach to our house from the snow. Often, the lieutenant received a strange breakfast food - sandwiches with raw ground meat. I do not know What it is: the national dish, or a very nutritious product. These same tenants were his neighbors. Some received a parcel from home and treated their masters. My neighbor settled communicators. Hosted an officer there from Innsbruck. He invited us to hear the news from Moscow. We heard the voice of Levitan reports Inform. Be in full information isolation and suddenly hear a voice from Moscow - it was a real shock. Invitations repeated. A month later the regiment went to the front. Impression of my family and mine were very good. Those Germans we saw in the simple human communication.
