Description

Peter was born in Freising, Germany, in 1934, and survived many bombings as a young boy. As a boy, he witnessed the destruction and carnage from the bombing, was once trapped in a bomb shelter, and saw aircraft dropping its bombs or the German ME-109 shooting a P-38 out of the sky. When the Gestapo came looking for his father, his mother told them she didn't know where he was. She later sent her older son, Hans, to Munich to warn him. In 1944, 10-year-old Peter was pressed into the Hitler Youth organization Jungvolk. There, the children were taught Hitler youth songs and learned to march like soldiers in cadence according to a drumbeat. Each morning, at the sound of the bugle, they marched, took cold showers, ate breakfast, and listened to propaganda from upper-level classmates and Nazi members. They were taught how to handle small arms, safety procedures, and store military equipment. They once took turns firing a few rounds from an MG 42 machine gun, which left his 70 lb. body flat on his rear from the recoil."We were having sessions on a daily basis," Peter said. "I didn't know it then, but it was brainwashing techniques to convert us into Nazi party members one day. They were pretty fanatic, I would say, very strict, very disciplined."Peter's sister, Carola, encouraged him to visit her and her husband, Robert, in Bath, Maine, in the United States. In 1955, he took up residence there, got a job, and bought a 1947 automobile to become a U.S. citizen. His brother-in-law Robert sponsored him for U.S. citizenship and encouraged him to enlist in the U.S. Air Force. After 20 years, he retired as a technical sergeant, earned a bachelor's degree at St. Mary's University and a master's at Our Lady of the Lake University, and taught German and history at Holmes High School and East Side schools. He traveled to the Holy Land, Rome, Pisa, Florence, and Santiago de Compostela. He and his family also traveled to the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Hungary, Austria, and Germany.
