30/9/1944
At 8. pm. on the 30th September 1944 we again got a
supply of electric current. Just when I was to
listen to the home program at 10 pm
the lights went out again. On the 1st of October
there has been light again but I did not
know ....[?], from 7 to 8 am. from 11 am.
to 1 pm. and from 7 to 10.20 pm.
I listened in at 9.= pm. to the forces
program with a German soldier upstairs
when Michael Harrison gave a summary
of the news but I could not take it down.
I did hope to listen in at 10 pm. to the
home service and luckily the Germans
left the current on apparently to listen in
to their own 10.= pm. news service.
