A group of partisans, about 20 of them (a few were with us as well) went to the constabulary, the office, and the town hall and took things from everywhere; whatever they could do with. At the constabulary they seized weapons – wherever they found some – and the type writers and stationery. For us it was like this: the country constables were having their evening meal and unfortunately one was shot there, because he didn’t put his hands up. One hand went to the pistol - he put the other hand up - and with that he risked his life. The partisan first shouted: “Hands up!” which he didn’t do (the constable) and so he was shot. That was the first dead person in our house, really. The field police occupied our house for 10 days, they all were regular SS men, actually, and searched the village and around it and the forest where they assumed the partisans to be around here somewhere. Of course they had already pulled back and disappeared.
