dangerous weapons
29 June 2005
The German government has probably very little confidence in its citizens. Now they want to forbid the soft air weapons. Correctly, the plastic toy weapons. As legend has it, somebody could modify soft air's to very dangerous weapons and they can cause heavy injuries. They looked very authentic and they could be used for armed robberies.
I live close to Hamburg and therefore i take this city as example. There is each day shootings with violated persons. In the last years few hand grenades exploded in the city. The owner of a discotheque didn't want to pay protection money to criminals. On one Saturday evening, when the discotheque was very full, the criminals threw a hand grenade in and injured some guests heavily. The assassins of the 9/11 had their headquarter in the city.
I believe it give larger safety problems than toy weapons...
birthday party
25 June 2005
Yesterday we celebrated the birthday of my mother and more guests came than expected. My younger sister came with her husband and two children, my older sister came with her husband and four children. My grandmother and some other relatives. My youngest uncle, who is only six years older like me, came with two children. His wife could not come, because she got her son Connor at the beginning of the week and she is still in the hospital.
The weather was still very good and in the evening we have a barbecue. And then said my aunt something which can make me very furiously: "Your sisters are married, have several children and their own house. You are now already 29 years old, when you want finally a marrying and children get?" I gave her an unfriendly answer and she spoke no more word with me.
This morning I had an appointment in the open air bath of our city. It was very hot again and I swam only one thousand meters. The sky clouded over at noon and we walked home. It suddenly began very strongly to rain and even my underwear was soaked totally.
I'm so tired because tonight I couldn't sleep and this evening I must to the birthday party of a friend....
hard work
23 June 2005
Today we had a very hot day again and the sun burned. I have unfortunately too much leisure and I have used this time to work in our garden. The rest of an old stable stone wall still had to be removed and I needed for it more than four hours. It was very exhausting to reduce the wall to small pieces with the sledge hammer. The work made no fun, but I could diminish the annoyance of the last days a little bit.
Tomorrow my mother has birthday and the whole family comes together again. My two sisters come with their children and husbands and then comes the stupid questions from other family members. "When do you want to marry finally times and have children?" I hate this and other stupid questions and everybody knows this. I have sufficiently other worries at the moment and hopefully they spare me tomorrow with it.
My K98 rifle
21 June 2005
K98
In the last week I sold my K98 rifle at a very good price. It was manufactured by the company "Mauser" in the year 1943 and it was in a very good condition.
The weekend was much disappointing, I had made myself hope for a new job and had been unfortunately disappointed. The weather was however very beautiful and it was very hot.
Yesterday I was several hours on an observation tower of our city. If the weather is good, you can see from there into the city Hamburg. I was completely alone and I has read a book until the sunset.
gunfight in Hamburg
14 June 2005
Yesterday was a violent gunfight in Hamburg. Two policemen got a shot into the belly, a policewoman got a shot into the hip and another cop many bullets into the shoulder. All policemen did not carry bulletproof waistcoats...
The whole began as a usual traffic control and ended in a blood bath. The criminal, an Iranian, fled with his girlfriend and fired several magazines empty on the further escape. He carried a bulletproof waistcoat and had still over one hundred shot ammunition thereby. Suddenly he stopped and shot his girlfriend into the head and then he killed himself with a shot into the head.
Many uninvolved also children were only very scarcely missed and dozens of projectiles hit into apartments and in parked cars.
The life in Hamburg can be very dangerous...
P47 back to the USA?
Divers in Austria have found the wreckage of an American P47 "Thunderbolt" airplane in the middle of the lake Traunsee. Yesterday afternoon the wreckage was lift from the one hundred meter deep ground and the airplane is in a very good condition.
The pilot touched the water surface with his air-screw at a low-level flight on May 8th, 1945 and the "Thunderbolt" has gone down into the deep water. A German soldier watched the flying accident and he rescued the American pilot. Some days later Germany capitulate and the war in europe was finished.
Now the fight continues because the holding businessman shall have sold the airplane to an American millionaire but the Austrian museums want to have it in their showroom.

my weekend
12 June 2005
I had a very calm and boring weekend, it was cold and it rained. My cousin and his girlfriend visited me on Friday and we played billard.
The buyer of the display cabinet has written an e-mail for me today, because he would like to buy my Mauser k98 rifle. His offer of last week was very good, this of today is even much better. You cannot shoot with the rifle, it is only for decoration - as useless as tits on a steer. Nevertheless the decision is not easy for me.
At the moment I'm watching "Dirty Harry" in the television...

The defusing of the bomb shall have been very complicated, because the fuze were bent strongly.

sex bomb

Today I was shopping in Hamburg with my friend sandra. It was very exciting because, an American aircraft bomb was found it again. All the brothels at the world-famous Reeperbahn had to be evacuated altogether more than one thousand people. The whores complained about their losses of earnings and the policemen were in a good mood. The officials have seen well seldom so many easy dressed women, it was really funny. Actually we wanted to a small store but this one lay in the middle of the closed area. Before we, however, have driven home again, we still have eaten ice cream at the Hamburg port. In the afternoon I installed a network interface card into the computer of a friend. Now I write into my blog and eat supper.

Dynamit
I have sold this display cabinet with ammunition today. The display cabinet shows the complete gun cartridges assortment of the German manufacturer "Dynamit Nobel". My former boss gave him to me because he couldn't use him any more. The buyer paid me 129,- euro for this!!! With so much money I haven't calculated and I'm very pleased about it.
sad day
03 June 2005
Do you know the feeling for it one is sad and doesn't know why? I couldn't sleep last night although I was extremely tired. This morning I bit into a very hard roll and a piece of my tooth has broken off. Now of course I have to go to the dentist and I am afraid of him. An adult man and fear of the dentist, it is but embarrassing for me but I can do nothing against this. At the moment a storm rages with us and there is lightning and thunders.

open air bath
In our town we have a very beautiful open air bath and I was yesterday morning there swim. The swimming lane is fifty meters long and I have swum it thirty-five times. So I have not accomplished my goal of forty lanes. At noon I have nevertheless allowed myself a delicious meal in a Greek restaurant. The owner is the wife of my friend Dimitrios who has been killed in an motorcycle accident last year. The rest of the day was very quiet and I sit with aching muscles at my computer and write into my blog now.
missing soldiers
GENERAL SANTOS, Philippines (AP) - Japanese diplomats pressed ahead Saturday with efforts to contact two Second World War soldiers reportedly living in the southern Philippines since they were separated from their division six decades ago. The men - who would be in their 80s - were said to have been separated from the 30th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army and then stayed in the remote mountains on Mindanao island for fear of being court-martialled in Japan. The astonishing claim that Second World War holdouts may still be alive has attracted huge interest in Japan, where veterans are marking the 60th anniversary of the war's end. But the Japanese government urged caution, saying the report came from somebody who had not seen the men himself. Efforts to contact the pair also were complicated by the fact that the area in which they supposedly were found is notorious for ransom kidnappings and attacks by Muslim separatists, who have waged war for three decades. Communist rebels also are active there. Tokyo first learned of the former soldiers in January, from a Japanese trader on Mindanao who has been trying since Friday to arrange a meeting so officials could try to confirm the men's' identities, Japanese Embassy spokesman Shuhei Ogawa said. But Ogawa stressed that the trader had not seen the men and was relying on a Filipino contact, who himself got word of the mystery soldiers from yet another Filipino. "You should know this type of information comes in all the time," he said. "We really have no idea if these two people exist." He said the diplomats who travelled to General Santos city, 965 kilometres south of Manila, were still "trying to work out (the details of) a meeting." On Sunday, they will be joined by an official from the Japanese Health Ministry, which is in charge of keeping records of former soldiers who survived as well as recovering the remains of those killed during the war. According to Japan's Kyodo News agency, the two missing soldiers might be Yoshio Yamakawa, 87, and Tsuzuki Nakauchi, 85. The Philippines, then a U.S. colony, was a major battleground in the Pacific. The Japanese occupation is remembered as brutal for its massacres of civilians and deaths of hundreds of thousands of U.S. and Filipino soldiers. After the United States retook the islands from the Japanese, the country became independent in 1946. According to Japanese government records, the men could have been part of a unit of 16,000 soldiers on Mindanao, of which only about 3,000 were believed to have survived the war. Japan's financial daily Nihon Keizai reported problems negotiating their free passage through jungles controlled by armed groups. Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's spokesman, Yu Kameoka, also said that large crowds, including about 100 Japanese journalists, apparently gave the men pause. The Japanese invaded the Philippines on Dec. 20, 1941. Years after the war ended, there were signs in the Philippines warning about Japanese soldiers still in the hills. A few surrendered as late as 1948. In March 1974, intelligence officer Lieut. Hiroo Onoda came out of hiding on northern Lubang island, but he refused to give up until the Japanese government flew in his former commander to formally inform him the war was over. The last of the three known former Japanese soldiers to surrender, in December 1974, was Taiwanese national Teruo Nakamura, who fought for the Japanese army on Indonesia's Morotai island. He returned to Taiwan at age 57. In 1972, Shoichi Yokoi, who had hid for 27 years in the jungles of the Pacific island of Guam without knowing the war had ended, also returned to Japan. He died at age 82 in 1997. Rumours of other soldiers hiding out have surfaced but were never substantiated. The Yomiuri newspaper, Japan's largest, reported Saturday that the two missing soldiers currently sought were first seen in August by a Japanese lumber businessman, who relayed "the near-unbelievable tale of their survival" to a veterans' association, which then sent members to the island to contact them. The two former soldiers reportedly said they feared being court-martialled and executed if they returned to Japan, Yomiuri said, adding the association tried to allay their concerns by sending them old magazines that reported Onoda's case. Meanwhile, the convergence of Japanese reporters on the bustling port city of General Santos raised security concerns in the volatile area, and the embassy warned them not to venture out in search of the men or follow anyone offering to guide them. Philippine police issued a similar warning.
