- 1944, October 8, Sunday morning – This time we were really hit. The alert sounded at 11:45 a.m. I was working on my Goring notes and went on writing, Eva was at Frau Winde’s (corner of Bamberger and Chemnitzer Strasse). At 12 the air-raid warning. I took Tonio Kroger, a tiny volume (from Steinitz), down to the almost-empty cellar and read for a while. Then there was antiaircraft fire, then we heard clear, loud explosions, evidently bombs, then the light went out, then there was a swelling rumbling and rushing in the air (bombs falling a short distance away). **p366
- 1942, January 16, Tuesday – After eight in the evening – Because the Americans bombed not only the Friedrichstadt station, but also the railway tracks at the main railway station, at the Hohe Bridge, and at the Nossen Bridge, and during the actual attack Eva was at Frau Winde’s, at the corner of Würzburger and Chemnitzer, and heard the bombs whistling down and exploding very close by. **393
