"I had a good time when the Russian soldiers came. Well, it was a holiday and we were on vacation. And they didn't even call us from that vacation, but everyone had the duty to come there on their own and report. So we went. And I was doing my normal work. At that time, I was a quartermaster. And the Russians came there and didn't even have an eschus with them. They ate their food after warming it up somewhere outside. We did not want to let them go there. It was all underground and nothing could be seen from the outside, only the Russians warming up. Well, it was terrible back then. I felt terribly sorry for the boys, but on the other hand, we had orders that we had no power over in any way."

"We all joined air traffic control and that was directed from America, as were the RAFs, if you are familiar with that. So actually, the officers who were there taught us air traffic control according to the modern system. That's how they taught us officers who served in the RAF."
