June 7, 1944; 4 PM

Old Executive Office Building

Washington, DC, USA

It had taken Erich Schumann far longer to study the confidential document than he expected. The Americans had brought an almost Germanic efficiency to their documentation process. It provided more information than he expected to find, but plodding through the report was laborious.

Now that he had finished, he leaned back in his chair and looked around the room. After his lunch, he had returned to the office, and the Army sergeant had retrieved the document for him. Schumann had immediately noticed that the sergeant had neglected to relock the cabinet. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he had closed the binder with the confidential report and replaced it in the cabinet. He pulled out the top-secret version and returned to the table.

There was a significant element of risk to what he was doing, but the payoff would be considerable. He pulled out a Minox camera and began photographing pages in the document. He had to replace the film cassette several times because of the size of the document, but he was motivated to work quickly. The sergeant would return promptly at 5 PM to lock up the report, and he needed to have things in order at that time, whether or not he had completed photographing the document.

General Groves had scheduled a dinner with Schumann to review the German’s conclusions from the document. Following the dinner, Schumann planned on visiting the German embassy to deliver the films to the military attaché. The attaché was a covert member of the Munich Faction and would ensure that the films were developed, printed, and sent to an anonymous office in Munich rather than Frankfurt.

Whenever the true Nazis regained power in Germany, Schumann expected to be appointed to run the atomic project in the place of that Jew lover, Heisenberg. And with the development of atomic weapons, he expected Germany would soon rule the world. It was an honor as well as intimidating to be a part of such a powerful destiny.

He had glanced at his watch and saw that he had a half-hour remaining before he would expect the sergeant back. He looked up suddenly when he heard the doorknob turn. He quickly placed the camera in his suit-coat pocket and slid his notepad over the report. Perhaps he could fool the Americans at least once.
