German term or phrase: Ein schöner Schmarren
Haben die Eltern mit Ihnen über die Situation geredet?
Vater war Offizier und hat immer gesagt, er liesse sich von den Nazis nicht ohne Gegenwehr abführen. Wir hatten viele Waffen zu Hause. Und ich später auch.
Warum?
Ich habe einfach Freude an Waffen. Sie sind schön, haben eine faszinierende Mechanik.
Und zum Schiessen?
Die Freude am Schiessen ist mir beim Militär schnell vergangen. Ich habe die Rekrutenschule gemacht, Minenwerfer-Kanonier, leichte motorisierte Truppe, Winterthur. *** Ein schöner Schmarren. ****
