Since this book was written in prison from the beginning up until 1946, the reader must forgive me that some of the experiences are not in their proper place. (Now follows a return to 1938.) <\/p>\n
In the summer of 1938, Teacher Elm\u2019s son Gunner and I went on a trip to Germany to visit a friend who had found work in Hanover. We cycled from home one afternoon and spent the night in Vordingborg, where we visited the Goose Tower and the Storstr\u00f8m Bridge. We left our bicycles in Vordingborg and continued the next day by train southwards, spending the night in Warnem\u00fcnde, after which we continued to L\u00fcbeck the following day, where we had a four-hour stopover, and then went on to Hamburg, where we stayed for two days and visited Hagenbeck\u2019s Zoo, St. Pauli, and went on a harbour cruise among other beautiful sights. <\/p>\n
Then the journey continued south, and at 8 o\u2019clock in the evening we reached Nienburg near Weissen (uncertain spelling), where our friend worked. We stayed there for three days and looked at German farms, agriculture, and customs. After that we travelled on to Hanover, where we also spent a couple of days in the beautiful old city. We stayed at the youth hostel \u201cHindenburg,\u201d and on the last day we had a rather amusing experience there: Gunner and I were standing studying a map of the city, when a well-dressed young man also stopped and looked at it. Suddenly he said something to Gunner, who replied, after which he continued the conversation\u2014but had to repeat himself several times, as Gunner did not understand him. He then said to me in Danish that Gunner didn\u2019t understand him, whereupon the young man\u2019s face lit up and he exclaimed: \u201cWhat the hell, are you Danes?\u201d He was from Aarhus and was travelling with a tourist group on a trip through Germany.
The return journey went via Celle and the L\u00fcneburg Heath and Rostock, and lasted about ten days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2822,"template":"","personer":[109],"class_list":["post-2823","litteratur_og_kilder","type-litteratur_og_kilder","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","personer-hans-joergensen"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fkdanmark.simsoft.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/litteratur_og_kilder\/2823","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fkdanmark.simsoft.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/litteratur_og_kilder"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fkdanmark.simsoft.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/litteratur_og_kilder"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fkdanmark.simsoft.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fkdanmark.simsoft.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"personer","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fkdanmark.simsoft.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/personer?post=2823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
