Chapter 1
"What is your position on
the German occupation of Luxembourg?"
I had known the question was
coming. Everything up to this point had been just idle chat.
This time they had brought
me up from my cell in the Stadtgrund Prison at an unusual hour, and had been
strikingly courteous.
"I've got your case all
figured out now," says Superintendent Hardegen. "I was just in Paris, where I
had a few words with your pals Stoffels and Wampach. The two of them have
confessed everything, and now they're trying to pin all the blame on you."
Then he leans over very
close and puts his hand on mine in a fatherly way. His tone becomes intimate
and confiding:
"I can see you're a decent
fellow. I'm talking now as one human being to another. I'd like to save your
skin . . . You're covering for your two buddies in Paris. But they're not worth
it, they set you up to be the fall guy. Disgusting. It hurts me to see it. Just
help me out a little, tell me what they're up to, and then I'll do what I can
for you . . ."
