It was a beautiful building, very decently fitted out, just damaged. It was equipped for our needs – there were washrooms, and a washbasin in every room. Bathrooms in the corridors.

The painters went in; there was broken glass everywhere, window panes had to be put in..., as you’d expect after a war.
