Spaichingen II
And then from Buchenwald you were on your way to...
To Spaichingen. To that camp with the lice and the, the vermin. And uh....
Did you get sick? Typhus.
No.
With all the lice.
I really must have been strong.
Or lucky. You said you were lucky.
Huh?
You said you were lucky.
Lucky. It was uh, it was no uh, no skill or whatever, just plain and simple luck, you meant to live, that's all. Even, even the soldier didn't want to shoot me.
