Siren again.
The siren went off again. Today, I had just returned from the factory when Domenico Minchella had come to visit, he’s going back to Italy also. I begged him to go to my home, if he manages to make it back soon, and assure my wife that I’m well and that I’ll be home soon too, God willing.
At around 10:00 tonight, the siren went off. We raced to the shelter. After 15 minutes, bombs were dropped. We weren’t as frightened as we were during the January 7th bombing, but we were still scared. It was done after about 2 hours. The good Lord saved us this time too. People died in other shelters. I was certain they’d stop bombing Munich because it’s completely destroyed, but unfortunately I was wrong!
The siren went off again today. People frantically run to the shelters. It was over after 2 hours.
This morning at 10:00 the siren went off, it was over by midday, then the pre-raid siren went off a few times. At 8:00 at night the siren went off again, and again at 10:00, it was essentially a day full of sirens. But thanks to the attackers, there were no bombs… we just never get any peace and quiet. It seems like this year God is showing some pity. Since January it hasn’t been that cold, seems like we’re no longer in Germany. No more snow has fallen, except for a little on the 24th but it melted quickly, the good weather and warm temperatures came back. Last year it snowed heavily all of February and March, but this year it snowed a bit in November, then in December and January it snowed a lot and was extremely cold, unlike last year, and now spring has arrived sooner than expected. I hope the end of the war will arrive soon too!
The siren went off for about 2 hours today.
Like yesterday, the siren went off for about 2 hours.
This morning when I stepped outside to go to work, I was astounded to see snow on the ground. After more than a month, the snow and cold temperatures are back, it snowed all day and it was very cold. It feels like January again.
At around 10:00, the siren went off. It’s still snowing, people run frantically in every direction looking for a shelter. We heard on the radio that there are many bomber formations, that’s why everyone is running hastily. We were able to go back home at 11:00, they didn’t come to Munich this time either.
Last night while we were deep in sleep, the siren went off. It was midnight, we got dressed quickly and ran to the shelter. After a few hours it was over with no damage, apart from the frigid cold we had to endure upon leaving our warm beds and running outside. There’s snow on the ground and it’s still snowing. It’s so cold your blood freezes but we all run out to the shelters anyway. We’d all rather face the cold than the bombs that may fall at any second, the last attacks instilled fear in us.
