"You know, there were many such tipsters and informers. Everyone was watching where I was going, where I was staying. Most of the informers were among the local people. They knew exactly what time I was leaving and when I was coming home or not coming home. I hadn't been home for a week, so they wondered where I was. They went to the geodesy and there they probably found out that I had given my notice and that I had reported to the State Forests in Janovice near Rýmařov immediately afterwards. I don't know where they found out. They found me there again a few months later, so I had to quit the forests in Rýmařov." - "But you were employed there, weren't you?" - "Yes, I was employed by the forests." - "And why did they find you...?" - "Well, because: 'We need knowledgeable agricultural workers', that was the motto of Antonín Vincker, the son-in-law of Ladislav Stypa, who was the chairman of the JZD. That's a big story. Because when my father joined the cooperative for the second time, I immediately said that I would not farm, that I did not want to be an owner. My father took this into consideration and said that my brother, his son, who lives next door, would be the owner. He is eleven years younger than me. It was arranged with the old chairman of the JZD, Duda, that he would join and I would go there too. I agreed to work there in my brother's stead for the time until he joined the JZD. Well, yes, but in the meantime the chairmen changed. A young zealot, as old as me, a son-in-law from Stypa, Antonín Vincker, came. My brother joined Vitkov as an agricultural machinery repairman, so I said I was quitting. And he said no. He said no, not that until my brother would work in the cooperative."

"A lot of them fell here. For example, in the last house on the right side of Olomoucká Street in Slavkov in the direction of Olomouc lived a man named Niederle. The house was hit by a bomb and the whole family was killed. The whole family. Or Sporek, just down the road from us at the turn-off to Olomouc Street and Zlatníky. There's a green space there today. There was a small house there. A Russian shot the father of the family there when he was coming out of the cellar because he was wearing a waterproof green German tarp. 'You German!' he said and shot him in front of the family, who were hidden in the cellar."
