A key turned in the lock and Dr Merkel stepped in. He looked at Frederick and sat down on the bed next to him. ‘You and your colleagues will be held overnight. You will be allowed to leave tomorrow.’

‘By which time you will be long gone.’ Frederick said.

Merkel took a deep breath. ‘You don’t realise the damage you have caused Professor.’

‘I have caused!’ Frederick raised his voice. ‘What about the damage you are doing to these children doctor?’

‘The research we do here is vital and will have repercussions for generations to come.’

‘It doesn’t matter how much you justify your so called research doctor it won’t wipe away the stain of who you really are.’

Merkel ignored Frederick. ‘Imagine a world without pain Professor. A world where medicine has eradicated all disease. A world where medical science has advanced so much it will be possible to extend the lifespan of a human being by decades even hundreds of years. One day it will be possible to replace body parts and even organs so that people can live longer lives. New drugs will make it possible to enhance the human condition making an individual more resilient to disease. We may even find a cure for ageing.’

‘Inspiring speech doctor were you saving that for Nuremberg?’

‘You and I are both scientists we both know that science is the key to moving forward. To advancing mankind’s understanding of the world around him.’

‘Most of us doctor understand that even science has ethics and as scientists we know that there are lines that can never be crossed.’

‘That is when science will fail, what we achieved during the war will have implications for generations to come.’

‘The only thing that the Nazis achieved during the war was genocide.’

‘If that is so then would I truly be standing here. Tell me Professor how many men were tried at Nuremberg? Hitler had tens of millions of supporters and thousands of men and women who helped finance him. Yet just a mere handful were put on trial, why?’

Frederick was at a loss for words.

‘I’ll tell you why, because the work that the German scientific community carried out was too important to be dismissed as butchery. The British, the Americans and the Russians were locked in a race to obtain as much information as possible. Project Paperclip sole purpose was to obtain as many scientists as possible, but Operation Surgeon was to obtain all information relating to work carried out by our scientists during the war.’

‘You will never be able to justify your actions to me doctor.’ Frederick said.

Merkel nodded. ‘True, but there are others in the scientific community who are more open minded.’

Frederick smiled at Merkel as memories of the last three years flooded his mind. ‘Believe me when I say this Dr Merkel mind is wide open.’

Two men entered the room and walked towards Frederick.

Frederick backed against the wall. ‘What’s going on?’ He glanced at Merkel then at the two men who grabbed him by the arms.

Merkel produced a needle and syringe.
