End of June sergeant told me. Theissen, I'm now in its operation. I was now happy, to be included at last in a combat operation and get a fixed place of operation. I have held this post until the dissolution of the battery. And I is exactly knew, in this “Ballistic” Matter.

Until I was put in the B I I was still under the thumb of the long Beckurts in the B. The roster saw ever morning and afternoon 2 Hours before service, Tuition or other education. And this service was even, If we had alarm at night times longer. So we left we like life. Early we could until just before 9^h sleep, ate breakfast radio music in jaunty, made up 11^h Service, Since we needed just someone to listen, What told us the. After strong lunch we heard music, or who was tired, lay down until 14^h the skin lazy. Then again 2 A quiet service hours. Then followed the after work. The catering wagon came and brought the cold meals. We ate even once properly and sold us the time as we wanted. No loud Word fell, everything was going so calmly and of course on, I was quite surprised about. I was only the noisy bustle, the disputes and Krakeelen in the II barrack stayed, so me the rest in the B I directly solemnly occurred. I gave to my part now and tried not to disturb this comradely life. As “Newbie” was I also not shy and cautious. But from day to day I found down more to the other and I felt they saw in me a comrades, as if I already for many years belonged to them. When I today I reach the time in the, so I have to be grateful, to have such comrades get. Got a package one, so it was on the table and we could take us what we wanted. There were jam or Kunsthonig for us, so the container on the table have been made and it was on no one, whether I now 3 or 4 Aß cuts more of it. So I could bring a whole series of examples. You all [show] What spirit in this operation, there was. What us teams still out of the service employment was, was the indicative line and the Feuerbereitschaften. That went half early 3^h Los and went to evening 10^h. But in the evening visited us always Airmen of the air base and wanted to be inaugurated by us the secrets of the flak shooting. Others again interesting things told us of their flights against the enemy.
