"One day there was a breach of the state border. And Tlachač from Pardubice, from the 'špačkárna', that was the watchtower at the wire barrier, called me and said to me: 'Man, a red Puch 500 stopped there.' - It was a scooter, the Austrian Puch - 'And some people are going to the wire barrier, what should I do?' Well, I was the biggest batch, the boss was at home, I was a company supervisor, so I told him on the phone, 'What are you talking about? Don't you know, Mirek, that you have to go through an underpass and under a wire barrier? ‘- There was an entrance in a form of a water well and an underpass dug, on the other side you could climb out. - '... And bring them to the company, don't you know?' Well, he brought them to the company, I called Brno. They were young people on their honeymoon. They said they wanted to touch the wire barrier, the line. The iron curtain. Well, I had them there and colleagues from the department 66 from Brno came, the secret police, and they interrogated them. They let me watch them. When they were there alone, in the Pévéesce (a room for political interrogations), I hid the gun, so they wouldn't see it on me. The Austrian man asked me if he could turn on the radio. They had such little radio transistors. It was something unbelievable at that time for us. Then, he asked if he could light a cigarette, and I was ashamed. He suddenly said to me, 'You are Russian soldiers, you are Russian soldiers.' And I said, 'We are not Russian soldiers.' And he repeated it. And I said, 'No, we're not.' Well, I certainly didn't convince him."
