Katz and Schroder arrived at Torgau early in the morningdirect from Berlin. They walked side by side with purposeful steps, heads down, hands in pockets.

They left again some hours later. They were on their way back to Berlin, but something in their step was different. The stride was shorter, less buoyant, less assured; their feet seemed to drag, as if unwilling to move. Their heads were hanging dejectedly, their shoulders humped up round their ears.

‘What a shit,’ muttered Katz. ‘A lousy stinking shit of a Colonel.’

‘Artillery, at that.’

‘And Army, not even S.S.’

There was a silence.

‘You don’t suppose.’

‘What?’

‘You don’t suppose there’s anything in it?’

‘The Russian front?’

‘Mm.’

Another silence.

‘How could a lousy stinking shit of a Colonel have any influence? I ask you? It’s not even as if he’s S.S.’

Katz pinched his lips together.

‘Lousy stinking shits of Colonels sometimes have more influence than you might think.’

‘You reckon?’

‘Could well be.’

They slouched on in silence towards the station.

What a shit!’ said Schroder, bitterly.
