On 23 June drove Lilo and Hugo E. Martin to Gunzenhausen to Dr. Hans Huber , aka Hahu to visit an old friend of Hans Martin. They had met in 1944 in the POW hospital in Atkarsk (Hahu as a young doctor and Hans as a musician) and learned to appreciate. At the first performance on 24 December 1944 and on 6 January 1945, the then young doctor bass-baritone solo part sung ... and since then was the relationship between Hans & Hans.
When Hans Huber in December 2007 by the death of Hans Martin and the commitment and the issue of learned Atkarsk local museum, he had written that he is at least as got Hans on the "return of the Atkarsk Christmas Cantata" by Atkarsk has and is enthusiastic about the gesture of friendship, and added:
"If my 3 Atkarsk years accounted for only slightly more than half of my captivity (from January 3, 1944 ), they are formative in my memory and I have long compensated for the supposedly lost the best years of life. I almost want to say that I do not want to miss. Yes, at age 91, you can see it differently, and more than 30 years. I would have found no thorough experience with the Russian language, music and literature, without the years of captivity. "
