Quote:
"...we began to hear airplanes. Almost at once the barracks began to shake...We were not afraid. And yet, if a bomb had fallen on the blocks, it alone would have claimed hundreds of victims on the spot. But we were no longer afraid of death: at any rate not of that death. Every bomb that exploded filled us with joy and gave us new confidence in life."

They were not afraid because it wasn't them that the airplanes were after, it was the Germans. They weren't afraid of this death because they would die with hope that the Germans were going to die and be punished. They have seen death everyday, but it is death that will get nobody nowhere except the people that were going to die dead. They were happy because the German felt like they did scared, that someone could take their life away. The Germans thought they were invincible.
