AUTHOR'S PREFACE
Guy Sajcr who are you?
My parents were country people, bom some hundreds of miles apart - a distance filled with difficulties, strange complexities, jumbled frontiers, and sentiments which were equivalent but untranslatable.
I was produced by this alliance, straddling this delicate combination, with only one life to deal with its manifold problems.
I was a child, but that is without significance. The problems had existed before I did, and I discovered tibem.
Then there was the war, and I married it because there was nothing else when I reach^ the age of falling in love.
I had to shoulder a brutally heavy burden. Suddenly there were two flags for me to honour, and two lines of defence ~ the Siegfried and the Maginot - and powerful external enemies. I entered the service, dreamed, and hoped. I also knew cold and fear in places never seen by Lilli Marlene.
A day came when I should have died, and after that nothing seemed very important
So I have stayed as I am, without regret, separated from the normal human condition^
