      Ik was op de Koninklijke Militaire Academie in Bandung, voor twee jaar. Maar het is natuurlijk zo dat men niet op een koninklijke academie kan leren hoe men een leger in een revolutionaire situatie kan opbouwen. Dat heb ik later wel, min of meer via lectuur, een beetje doorgedacht, tijdens de Japanse bezetting.
