The signal for the insur-

II was no bloodless assault.
Some one behind me, crazy with
excitement, fired his pistol into

the policemen. A window was
thrown open. The light in the
station went out. The guns
barked, blotting out thought.

Close TO the door a young
stevedore in a patched gray
sweater pulled the release of a

BY now / was, with many
others, in the street. Police
counterattacked in the shelter
of armored cars. A low barri-
cade of cobblestones at the end
of the street stopped them. From
a window, a solitary figure took
potshots at civilians and police
men who attempted to clear
away the obstacle.
Before waves Of attacking
police we scattered into side
streets. We retreated, scuttling
from doorway to doorway, shoot
ing before we ran. OF my de-
tachment, the Red Marines, l
saw nothing more. Around me,
men / had never seen before,

then we all ran, each man for

Retreat Is the death OF any

as a concerted assault ended in
a desperate defense, in equally
desperate but short-lived at

Overpower Guards
Lets go"

We surrounded the sheds and
overpowered two elderly watch
men. We locked them into a
small toolshed. Their guns,
small Mausers, were taken by
two local militants. A long
freight train approached, and we
lay still until it had passed.
Then each man did the job he
had previously been appointed
to do.
We had high degree of
beginners luck. Two men cut
the telegraph wires. Four, with
saws and an ak from the
toolshed, felled nearby trees.
Another group toiled TO dislo-
cate ties and rails. The local
Communists banded together and
pushed freight car from the
siding TO the main line of trains
bound for Hamburg.
Trees, timbers, debris and
rocks were heaped on the line.
The purpose of this action was
to prevent police and troop rein
forcements to roll unhindered
into Hamburg once the authori-
ties had given the alarm. A
lone field policeman who
Numbered into our midst was
Immediately disarmed.
In the small hours of morning
the city lay quiet. We assembled
in the blackness of a small park.
Two couriers brought our six
rifles from their hiding-place.
They were distributed to those
who had had rife experience in
previous encounters. We were
now 81 strong. including two
girls who carried iodine. band
ages, scissors and clubs. No one
spoke An unnecessary word.
Our task was to raid Police
Post AZ.
We proceeded in two single
files, one on each side of the
street, hugging the houses. From
a public telephone booth l called
the police station.
"Come quickly" tele-
phoned. "There are three
burglars here in a luggage
shop"
l gave an address on the far
side of the Eimsbuettel district.
That would draw part of the
police force away from the post.
] directed my detachment
to halt a block away from the
station. Like ghosts we vanished
into the doorways. / sent a
.youngster ahead to enter the
station. He was to ask the
police officer in charge to tele-
phone for a doctor-because of
a premature birth somewhere in
the district.
The young comrsde soon re-
turned to report that FIVE police
men were in the station. Three
of them had hung their gun
belts on hooks in the wall, and
were playing cards. l was
tempted to attack that very
moment, but l held back.

of the population so much as
police firing into unarm d
masses. At intersections, small
groups Of partisans collected
kerosene in garbage cans and
heaps of old rags; their task was
to stop police lorries with sudden
barricades of fire.
At daybreak we met re-
sistance. A strong force of
Security Police had entrenched
around a small railway bridge,
behind nearby trees and in ad-
joining houses. Their carbines
cracked.
'Disperse! To the roofs"
We dived into the houses on
both sides. Doors splintered
under carbine butts, and tenants
in pajamas and nightshirts fed
toward the cellars. Men crouched
in windows,fo on the balconies, on
the roofs. AS if by common con-
sent, the Communist units held
their fire. 1t was the prelude
to what Soviet officers had
taught us was the ''bottling up"
maneuver.
The police did not walk into
the trap. We settled down to
an hour of sniping. The machine
guns of the police blasted away
at anything that moved in the
street. We tried to work our
selves toward the enemy by
advancing over the roofs, but we
lacked the ropes and ladders
necessary to do this with success.
A few reckless Communists
who straddled window stills to
take better aim were quickly
hit. One roared and spread out
his arm. and plunged down from
a height of five stories. Lying
half in a doorway was small
child, stone-dead.
From the roof of a--tenement
100 yards away came ringing
voice.
Don't give up. Hang en-"
the voice shouted. Rein
forcements are on the way"
Communists were marching
into Hamburg from all outlying
communities. Then came two
shrill whistles-the signal for
assault. From my perch in an
attic window l saw the snipers
disappear from other roofs.
Voices yelled:
STORM"
/ I leaped down four fights of
stairs into a hallway already
crowded with armed partisans.
Perhaps one in FIVE had a rife,
one in four a pistol. and the rest
carried hammers and spiked
clubs.
The signal for assault sounded
again.
! and a few others pushed out
into the street. Instantly, the
screech of whining lead drove
us back into the house. The
sidewalks were Uttered with dead
and wounded. Gray, fire-spitting
things moved forward. Armored
cars.
We had been taught how
to fight armored cars. Here
and there hand-grenades were
thrown out of doorways and low
windows. Only one of them ex-
ploded. The others were dead.
The armored cars continued to
advance. raking the street.
A youth carrying a bottle in
each hand darted out Of house,
and ran up to the first car. He
smashed both bottles against the
car. and then was dead.
An older man, a bristly-faced
scarecrow, now lunged toward
the armored car. In the moment
of his death he threw a bundle
of burning rags on the back OF
the gray thing. This mani car
never forget him. He was the
most pathetic hero of the Ham
burg rising. The armored cal
was enveloped in fame anc
smoke, and the faster it moved

"Stand of. he said hoarsely.
Then he counted, yelled;
"Twenty-one Twenty :"
Six or seven of us crouched
on both sides Of the entrance.
The grenade roared, and the
hallway was free. We sprang
forward with the roar of the
explosion still in our ears.
Smoke filled the inside Of the
station. From the floor a police
man was still firing. The steve
dore crushed his face with a
kick of his heavy boot. Another
policeman had the side of his
neck torn away; he was bleed
ing to death under a table.
Some one switched on the lights.
The three remaining policemen
were cornered, their arms raised
high.
The stevedore ragged:
"ShOOt them. Kill the whole
murderous lott"
l stopped him. The party
command had ordered us to keep
prisoners as hostages. We
shackled the policemen together
with their own handouts. Out
side the station a crowd shouted
for arms. Men and boys came
running from all directions, and
a few women from the Com
ambulance service.

Snipe From Roofs

At II m burgerstrasse and
Bornes road. in the northeast of
the city, following the sound Of
heavy firing, l found a series
of well-constructed barbados.
No one seemed to be in COM
mand. But in the cover of
Ipiled-up ben he's, trees and
stones. and from behind over
turned carts and automobiles,
members Of the Red Hundreds
gave battle to police.
Others were sniping from
windows and roofs of houses
which flanked the barricades. In
a courtyard, a woman distributed
bread and liverwurst. Here was
well-organized resistance. | was
relieved. and asked for news.
more police posts have
been taken in the BOrgfeIde
and the UhlenhOrt DISTRICTS"
l was told.
"And the harbor ."
The harbor was decisive.
"The whole harbor IL on
strike"
Toward noon, the police
brought mortars and mine
throwers into action. We crawled
little way back, and when the
thunder and the smoke cleared
away, our barbados were
wrecked and police pushed for
ward in the rear of armored
cars. There was lull in the
firing.
Drop your arms" police
man barked. "Haende hoch!"
He was shot on the spot. A
group of Communists advanced
to meet the police. Ahead of
them they showed three captured
police officers. Nevertheless. the
police opened fire. One of the
prisoners was instantly killed.
The two others ran toward the
police. A Communist sprang
from a doorway, tripped one Of
the escaping officers and shot
him through the back Of the
head.
\ Again we retreated, fighting
for each house. At dusk l found
myself with two comrades on
the roof of a garage, holding off
a police patrol firing from
windows on the opposite side of
the street. Our fronts had
broken up. All forces were scat
tered.
Sounds Of shooting came from
all directions. A block down the
street a group of Red Guards
carrying wounded comrades was
taken prisoner.
