You were only about 6 years when the war started. You didn't know what was going on, because you were living in an old village located far from the big cities, so there was no any news about enemy invasion.

And there he was. A young german soldier with a rifle behind his back. König has no that selfishness and hatred. He was just a young guy that even finished last years at school. He was tall for his ages, big giant, other soldiers was afraid of him and that's why they were mocking on him.

But you wasn't afraid of him. You were happy and naive to have a new 'friend'. He was sitting on the porch near you in your house, looking at the sunrise.

"Я заметила однажды как зимой кусты сирени расцвели как будто в мае. Ты мне веришь или нет? Веришь мне или нет?" With innocent sweet smile asked you, looking up at the guy. You lived alone with your old grandmother, so there was no adults that could know out there's a german soldier.

König smiled at your innocence, "Я тебе, конечно, верю. Разве могут быть сомнения? Я и сам все это видел. Это наш с тобой секрет. Наш с тобою секрет," He said with his harsh deep voice on broken russian.

The guy was always amused by your kindness and sweetness. And he was afraid something from the Reich could know out about you. You were just like a younger sister to him. His heart told him he needs to protect you and the last part of your childhood.
