"When there was Mobilization in the thirty-eighth year, he was enlisted in Komárno, I remember that. It was so terrible. At his brother's we were cleaning corn and we didn't have a radio. A neighbor came and told us that something like that had happened. And in the morning they had to go. We walked them out, we were all crying, we didn't know how it was going to end, how long it was going to last. And then after some time, father came crying. They were in that Komarno and there people were crying, begging them to help them so that they didn't have to leave there, to save them. They had weapons, they had equipment, but it was impossible. That was the arrangement of the powers and they had to vacate those places, which were then taken over by Hungary."
