"He went down quickly, landed on the bottom side. He came out of the plane, stepped out, somewhere it was noted or somebody said they helped him. But I think he got out. And of course we as boys rushed there - we guessed landing place and ran there. Here under the gardeners´ it was, right down from the school. (radio) We ran there and he was already out of the plane. I had the impression that he had a broken arm, spitting his teeth out, and here in the book it says that he had only light, some minor injury. So he did not have a broken arm, probably beaten up and bruised hand, but he was careful about it. Well, he gave us his chewing gums and chocolates that he carried with him just in case... He gave it to us because German soldiers were staying at that school and they came too. The patrol immediately came. They were just marching with military steps. Well, as were only boys, we ran, yeah, and soon as we saw that the plane was going down. They only arrived when they got a message and a command. So they were a little late. Meanwhile, we already had the chocolates and ate those. Well, of course, the old witches came rushing too, pardon my language, sorry for putting it like that. They also saw that we were getting something, so they did not want to come in short."

"But on May 7 I remember I was in the street at about four in the afternoon. My mother talked to the other neighbour and we waited for my grandmother to come out of the church. There were May devotions, and my grandmother was terribly godly, so she went to the church. She was there almost all the time. As there was something happening, it was rushing in there. So we were waiting for her. We kept waiting. And grandma was not coming. And just a bit down the street, two houses from us, the corner of the house under the owl was shot off. The bullets whirled around us, we could hear them in the air. Grandma was nowhere. And suddenly she appeared, walking very slowly, almost crawling."
