The real war has started. German troops crossed the Belgian border at dawn today. Since I’m responsible for the supply lines for the 4th section, I thought something serious was happening because watching the sky towards Longwy I could see big flashes and the incessant sound of bombardment.
Around 10, a captain from 2nd Division Headquarters visited us and gave us instructions for our protection because we’re now really at war. Constant state of alert for us.
