Hocksteader’s report was all they hoped for.

The prisoners were recorded at Klink’s camp after capture & leaving to be returned. The blaze from the underground’s attack on the supposed “rocket fuel convoy” not only eliminated the bodies but provided an excuse for the loss of those babbling idiots excusing their failure with fantastic stories.

An accident of war, no crime here.

A shame about Kant, but a small price to pay for success.

Schultz bolted “I see NOTHING, I KNOW NOTHING!”

He laughed aloud, “History DOES mention that.”

“Ah Hogan, what kept you?”

Col Hogan had seen all kinds of prisoner reactions when the cooler wall opened into the cell but never this.

“You were expecting me?”

“Counting on it old man,” answered Bartlett, “You and your men are going to save fifty lives that Hitler and the Gestapo want dead.”

“London hasn’t given us any instructions.” Hogan said suspicion in his eyes,

“London can’t know a thing till it’s done and even then London & Berlin must both think the Gestapo has killed us all.

Hogan grinned this was his kind of op.
