Thursday June 20th Good lunch at Leipzig. Passed numbers of young fellows in civilians travelling cooped up in cattle trucks – apparently a new class just called up and travelling to a training camp. They had all decorated their trucks with green branches cut from trees &c. and seemed very cheerful singing: I doubt they would sing so much if they could foresee their fate.
I particularly noticed the sort of onion shaped domes which most of the public Bavarian buildings carry; it seems peculiar to Bavaria, for in Saxony here I’ve seen none. Went viâ Cottbus to Guben. Arrived there 11 pm. Given some bread and indifferent sausage.
Travelled all night. Slept fairly well.
