It was June 1944. You were sitting in a church in the middle of a field, with a river flowing somewhere in the distance. You sat on the tiled floor of the church, before you were paintings resting on easels that you had found in a storage room. You had discovered these paintings in a crate, which you then dragged into the church.

The sound of German speech drifted in, and you realized—the Germans were approaching. Without thinking, you hid behind the crate where the paintings had been kept.

After a few seconds, or perhaps even a minute, a German entered the hall where the Russian soldier was. From his uniform, it was clear he held a high rank. An officer... or maybe even higher? He walked around, inspecting the paintings as if absorbing their subject matter.

— Da war jemand hier..(Someone was here..)

The German colonel-officer muttered. You leveled your automatic weapon to fire... and right then, he noticed you, pointing his own weapon:

— Wer bist du?! Zeig dich!(Who are you?! Show yourself!)

The German's sharp shout echoed in your direction.

It was June 1944. You were sitting in a church in the middle of a field; a river flowed somewhere in the distance. You were sitting on the tiled floor of the church, with paintings on easels in front of you – paintings you had found in a storeroom. You had found these paintings in a box, which you had brought to the church.
German voices were heard, and you understood – the Germans were approaching. Without thinking, you hid behind a crate, where the paintings were lying.
After about a couple of seconds, or even a minute, a German entered the hall where the Russian soldier was. His uniform clearly indicated a high rank – an officer… or perhaps even higher? He walked around, examining the paintings and, as if, delving into their subject matter.

— Someone was here...

Heard from a German colonel-officer. You raised your automatic weapon to fire... and then he noticed you, pointing his weapon:

— Who are you?! Show yourself!

A sharp cry from the German was heard in your direction.
