OV Class Camera ZATZEK maintains the War Cross with Swords Since March 25, 1943 we are in the KLV camp Unter-Rowen. On the morning of April 13, 1943, at the early part of the camp crew leaders, we were told that we should get ready for the march. At first we were amazed. Should we not have a school today? But then we were very happy and stormed up into our rooms. Around 1g9 the entire camp crew had started in front of the camp manager. We were divided into three trains and marched off. After we had marched through Rowen, we came on a country road. It was a nice hike. At 12 o'clock we arrived again in the camp. "Still standing" was mandated. Classmate Zatzek had to step forward. Now rector Hindrichs, who was in the camp, read a letter from the police chief from Recklinghausen. The letter showed that Ferdinand Zatzenko had distinguished himself by exemplary attitude and bravery during an air raid on Bottrop. He was to be given the enclosed cross of war with swords. "Eyes on the right!" was combined and Rector Hindrichs attached the award to our classmate. Then he gave a short speech and took the front with our comrade. Finally the German song was sung and with Ferdinand Zatzek at the top we moved into the dining room. There we stormed our comrade. Everyone wanted to congratulate him. He got a double portion today. In the evening his place was decorated with flowers and he got a special plate. His bravery is our model and inspires us to do the same. KLV camp Unter-Rowen.
