- 1944, October 9, Monday morning after 9 o’clock – Very curious: My first frontline birthday (because during the First World War I was safely at home on every October 9). All kinds of news and rumors mounted up about the attack the day before yesterday. From the Stühlers, the Cohns, from Eva, who had been to visit Frau Winde and gone home via Postplatz; she had seen a crater in Annenstrasse and damaged houses. There are said to be quite a large number of dead, who were laid out in Freiberger Platz (cordoned off). **p367
