"Elmer now took us to Eisleben, which is where Martin Luther was born. Sporadic fighting was still going on around us, pockets of resistors were holding out and we could hear the distant thuds - Elmer kept running back and forward to those places.
He now took us to an old farm house on the outskirts of town. A typical old Saxon place with an old aunt in it. Her daughter and some of her other relatives lived there as well. In confidence now, she told us that her daughter's husband was a Nazi official. This lady was very stuck on the Nazi culture or niche, as she called it, and she came up with a lot of excuses to justify their position. Antonio and myself told her where to get off!!!
We didn't waste any more time on the old aunt and now got on with the job that we were there to do. Elmer had brought a typewriter with him. In confidence, the old aunt sometimes talked to us and gave up some of her supplies while we were busy working on the report.
We were in a very historical house and I would not have been surprised if Martin Luther had visited the house in a past era. The atmosphere was perfect for it, old musty furniture, chandeliers and Dresden china all over the place!"
