Furthermore we want to consider what we can contribute to overcome the inevitably arising difficulties in mutual understanding. First and foremost I am thinking about the relation between husband and wife, for this relation represents a cohabitation which demands, in its own sense, a consensus in thinking, feeling and wanting. To newly found this consensus and then to arrange it permanently is probably the essential task that awaits us upon our return.\r\n\r\n1a) We are now many months, some of us even a couple of years, separated from our families and wives. What an excess of burdens and sorrows lay on our wives at home, especially in these first months after the ceasefire. Let us just think of the everlasting disquiet of the bomb war, of the critical days of the invasion of the adversaries' armies and the following first endeavours to earn the daily livelihood. All of this poses strains which are overly heavy for a woman's shoulders. The fact that this immense burden had to be carried will have left traces on all women. The nerves must have suffered under it and are still suffering. A woman will first need time for contemplation, after she has been relieved of all these tasks, to liberate herself from the gravity of the pressure put onto her. Furthermore, the woman had to learn during that time to cope with life even without a man. This fact will have lent a certain indepence to stronger female natures which we will have to anticipate. Time, the spatial distance and the lack of a regular mail connection will have caused an estrangement in any case which originates simply in the fact that the woman can be with the man in her thoughts only rarely, who back then stood at the centre of her intellectual world by his very physical presence.\r\n\r\nb) We can say less about our own emotional situation in this time, since we all feel it almost too clearly. Most among us appreciate only their state. They do not know about the ways change takes places inside us since we are occupied with more peaceful activities behind barbed wire. We hardly recognize it because we are all equally affected and this change applies to every one by and by. We only want to say something about the result. We as well will have reached a state at the end of our imprisonment that holds a great deal of highly probable testiness. Our mental power of resistance has not become stronger here, but weaker. To this contributes mainly the exclusive company of other men, with the balancing effect the female nature has on our mind does not exist. \r\nIn short, this is the mental state the woman at home and the man returning from captivity are in."}}, {"id": 94395, "created": "2016-03-20T00:50:54.699628", "project_id": 212, "task_id": 40486, "user_id": 138, "user_ip": null, "finish_time": "2016-03-20T00:50:54.699651", "timeout": null, "calibration": null, "external_uid": null, "media_url": null, "info": {"other": "", "translation": "Able to understand?\r\n\r\nThe justification of this inquiry results from the fact that we are prisoners of war, who wish to will after a shorter or longer while return to the bosom of our families.\r\n\r\nWe would like in serious reflection realize the situation of our loved ones, and sense our own at the time of our return.

To recreate this alignment and build it up to last is probably the essential task waiting for us upon our return.\r\n\r\n1a) We have now been separated from our families and wifes for many months, some of us for a number of years. What an excess of burden and worry has been placed on our wives at home in the last months of the war and the first months since the cessation of hostilities. Let's think of the continuous turmoil caused by the bombing war, and the critical days of the marching in of the opposing armies and the following first efforts to earn a necessary living. All this constitues a load, that is overly heavy for the shoulders of a woman. The fact that this burden had to be born will not have left any woman without leaving its traces. The nerves must have suffered and still be suffering. The woman, once she has been relieved of this task, will need some time of introspection, that allows her to free herself from the seriousness of the pressure weighing down on her. The woman had to further learn in these times to cope with life without a man. This fact will have lent a certain independence to stronger female characters, that we will have to reckon with. Time, distance in space and the lack of an organized mail service will in any case have caused a certain estrangement, which simply grows, because the wife can now only rarely have her husband on her mind, who before through his physical presence alone took the center in her world of thoughts.\r\n\r\nb) About our own state of soul in these times we have to say less, we all feel it all too clearly. Most of us are aware of their state. They don't know the nature of the changes, that occur within us, since we have been pursuing peaceful occupations behind barbed wire. We notice it therefore badly, because we are all affected in the same way, and the transformation applies to everybody. We just want to say something about the result. We too will have reached a state towards the end of our imprisonment, which carries a large degree of irritation. The strength of our souls to resist has not grown stronger here, but weaker. The exclusive contact with men has contributed to this, where the equalizing effect is removed, that the female being exerts on our disposition.\r\nThis is, summed up in few words, the state of the soul, that the wife at home and the husband returning from imprisonment find themselves."}}]
