Towards evening we are on the village road again, because east of the village suddenly the noise of battle started.[1] Four captured Soviet soldiers are coming from that direction. They are without guards and are pushing a severely wounded comrade on a cart in front of them. As the night progresses, the noise of battle from the east comes closer and closer. Soon we clearly hear the infantry fire and distinguish between our own and enemy machine guns. A volley from the Russian Stalin's organ pelts down and lights up the night with its spraying phosphorus sparks, which shoot up radially as the rockets explode and rain down to earth in a fiery arc. The front is still about four kilometers away on this side. So the Russian is attacking and obviously wants to take the village. We are lying back here with a bunch of comrades, armed only with pistols, in complete uncertainty about the situation, in unknown terrain and in the middle of the night. What we hear is only the horror news of wounded soldiers going back alone. Of course, you can't believe everything such people say. They are still in shock, want to act important or to cover up their desertion. But an uneasy feeling remains, and the approach of the front is unmistakable. It is worse to have to accept all this without doing anything than to stand in a position in front of the enemy with a weapon in your hand and fight. I feel uneasy, and that night I cursed the war for the first time.
