A chance in a million
/ə/ /ʧɑːns/ /ɪn/ /ə/ /ˈmɪljən/
Franz poured scorn on the idea, pointing out that his brother
/frænz/ /pɔːd/ /skɔːn/ /ɒn/ /ði/ /aɪˈdɪə,/ /ˈpɔɪntɪŋ/ /aʊt/ /ðæt/ /hɪz/ /ˈbrʌðə/
had been killed in action during the war. Though Mrs.
/hæd/ /biːn/ /kɪld/ /ɪn/ /ˈækʃ(ə)n/ /ˈdjʊərɪŋ/ /ðə/ /wɔː./ /ðəʊ/ /Mrs./
Bussman fully acquainted with this story, she thought that
/Busssman/ /ˈfʊli/ /əˈkweɪntɪd/ /wɪð/ /ðɪs/ /ˈstɔːri,/ /ʃiː/ /θɔːt/ /ðæt/
there was a chance in a million that she might be right. A few
/ðeə/ /wɒz/ /ə/ /ʧɑːns/ /ɪn/ /ə/ /ˈmɪljən/ /ðæt/ /ʃiː/ /maɪt/ /biː/ /raɪt./ /ə/ /fjuː/
days later, she sent a boy to the workman to ask him if his
/deɪz/ /ˈleɪtə,/ /ʃiː/ /sɛnt/ /ə/ /bɔɪ/ /tuː/ /ðə/ /ˈwɜːkmən/ /tuː/ /ɑːsk/ /hɪm/ /ɪf/ /hɪz/
name was Hans Bussman. Needless to say, the man's name
/neɪm/ /wɒz/ /ˈhɑːnz/ /Bussman./ /ˈniːdlɪs/ /tuː/ /seɪ,/ /ðə/ /mænz/ /neɪm/
was Hans Bussman and he really was Franz's long-lost
/wɒz/ /ˈhɑːnz/ /Bussman/ /ænd/ /hiː/ /ˈrɪəli/ /wɒz/ /ˈfrænzɪz/ /lɒŋ-lɒst/
brother.
/ˈbrʌðə./
When the brothers were reunited, Hans explained how it was
/wɛn/ /ðə/ /ˈbrʌðəz/ /wɜː/ /ˌriːjuːˈnaɪtɪd,/ /ˈhɑːnz/ /ɪksˈpleɪnd/ /haʊ/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/
that he was still alive. After having been wounded towards
/ðæt/ /hiː/ /wɒz/ /stɪl/ /əˈlaɪv./ /ˈɑːftə/ /ˈhævɪŋ/ /biːn/ /ˈwuːndɪd/ /təˈwɔːdz/
the end of the war, he had been sent to hospital and was
/ði/ /ɛnd/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /wɔː,/ /hiː/ /hæd/ /biːn/ /sɛnt/ /tuː/ /ˈhɒspɪtl/ /ænd/ /wɒz/
separated from his unit. The hospital had been bombed and
/ˈsɛpəreɪtɪd/ /frɒm/ /hɪz/ /ˈjuːnɪt./ /ðə/ /ˈhɒspɪtl/ /hæd/ /biːn/ /bɒmd/ /ænd/
Hans had made his way back into Western Germany on foot.
/ˈhɑːnz/ /hæd/ /meɪd/ /hɪz/ /weɪ/ /bæk/ /ˈɪntuː/ /ˈwɛstən/ /ˈʤɜːməni/ /ɒn/ /fʊt./
Meanwhile, his unit was lost and all records of him had been
/ˈmiːnˈwaɪl,/ /hɪz/ /ˈjuːnɪt/ /wɒz/ /lɒst/ /ænd/ /ɔːl/ /ˈrɛkɔːdz/ /ɒv/ /hɪm/ /hæd/ /biːn/
destroyed. Hans returned to his family home, but the house
/dɪsˈtrɔɪd./ /ˈhɑːnz/ /rɪˈtɜːnd/ /tuː/ /hɪz/ /ˈfæmɪli/ /həʊm,/ /bʌt/ /ðə/ /haʊs/
had been bombed and no one in the neighbourhood knew
/hæd/ /biːn/ /bɒmd/ /ænd/ /nəʊ/ /wʌn/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /ˈneɪbəhʊd/ /njuː/
what had become of the inhabitants. Assuming that his
/wɒt/ /hæd/ /bɪˈkʌm/ /ɒv/ /ði/ /ɪnˈhæbɪtənts./ /əˈsjuːmɪŋ/ /ðæt/ /hɪz/
family had been killed during an air raid,Hans settled down
/ˈfæmɪli/ /hæd/ /biːn/ /kɪld/ /ˈdjʊərɪŋ/ /ən/ /eə/ /reɪd,/ /ˈhɑːnz/ /ˈsɛtld/ /daʊn/
in a village fifty miles away where he had remained ever
