“There was also a rumor that later in the day, she walked fully clothed into the Amper River and said something very strange.

“Finally, in October 1945, a man with swampy eyes, feathers of hair, and a clean-shaven face walked into the shop. He approached the counter. "Is there someone here by the name of Leisel Meminger?"

Leisel came out.
They hugged and cried and fell to the floor.”
