With the partisans - life was slightly different than before. That is why you say nowadays: “Not everybody had the opportunity to join them.” But many would have had an opportunity but didn’t risk it. I was not fit to work for the front any more. For me there would have probably been a job and I could have worked and so on. But I didn’t want to. I could not share the responsibility to work with the ones that wanted to eliminate us. The partisans had a slight problem with the provisions, and the sleeping in the forest overnight. Here and there in houses as well, still, but most of the time in the forest. And even in the cold and snow, that was not easy. And the clothes froze on you. You felt as stiff as a straw mattress. So, only the ones that were of really a tough nature were able to handle that. But there were also people that could not handle this, and they deserted. But that didn’t help.
