What surprised me most was the fact that I didn’t die like I did so long ago in the police station. Instead, I suffered, gasping for breath, what little blood I had in my system poured out and drenched the ground. The pain in my chest was like… well it was like getting shot in the heart. German soldiers stood around me talking about what to ...
