All I knew was that I loved my nation, the Franco-German union.
My family came from a long line of Germans and Greeks, but 3 years ago July, 2, 1940 the war had begun. The war has nearly been going on for 3 years now, with Russian troops marching towards Köningsberg. The artillery had only gotten louder and I saw more and more troops escorting us to bomb shelters as more bombing planes appeared. With most of the French and German military on the Italian border or defending Warsaw, the Russians have only been getting closer. Lenin persists, as his army marches to Köningsberg. Stalin fled Russia to go to King Elsö to help him in this war.
My friend Jürgen has joined the military with the state of the conflict right now. I might consider joining, however I might have to wait as the inhabitants of the city are being evacuated. I was taken to Danzig, where I enrolled in the military. I was assigned to a team of five people who all wanted to defend Köningsberg. Soon after that, I looked outside to see the flag of the Franco-German union boldly waving in the air. Before I could get up that morning, the commander of the squad, which was part of a larger infantry regiment, said "Tonight we march to Köningsberg." I looked at a picture of my friend Jurgen one last time before putting it away and grabbing my rifle. We were going to fight the Russians.
They gave us five ruparts to call whoever we wanted. I decided to call my mother. I put the coins in a small slot and dialed her number. She answered and asked "hello?" I tell her "I'm going to war". She tells me, "come back with your rifle or come back with your medal of honor" meaning that if I die the army will give her my medal. Her family tree starts in Sparta so that's why she told me that. I tell her "I will, I will '' before saying our goodbyes. Off to the frontlines I went but before I left the building I saw someone I thought I wouldn't see again, my friend who I called duck man.
