look for damage or intruders at least once per hour, and call the police in ca-
se we found something or someone. Another job was to guard the stalls and
tents of a christmas fair on the city square at night, there we just wandered
around and looked for "adventure".

Give me a list of unusual things that happened whilst on duty.
|
Since our uniforms were somewhat similar to police uniforms, we were often
mistaken for police officers and asked to deal with stuff like domestic violen-
ce, belligerent drunkards or minor brawls. Unless our uniforms were sufficient
to calm down people, we called the police and went on.
What I remember most were not any unusual incidents but the high number
of totally drunk people sleeping in the most unlikely places in very cold winter
nights, we had to call the rescue services far more often than the police.
