‘A few days later, I arrived in my home town of Schweidnitz. Although it was seven o’clock in the morning, a whole crowd had gathered at the railway station. The welcome was warm. In the afternoon, I was honoured with various awards, including one from the Youth Guard. All in all, I realised that my home country was still very interested in its fighters in the field.’
