Chapter 10

1943

The weeks after our attempted assassination on Hitler went by completely uneventful. Hitler was holed up in a fortress and nothing happened around the city. We got to work, to try and come up with another plan. We were having trouble finding something meaningful we could do to weaken the German forces until one day, something fell into our laps.

One of our spies on the inside told us of an intense battle going on in Russia. The German army forced themselves into the city through intense battling, and with heavy losses. Then the red army flanked them and hit them at their weak point. The German forces were dwindling, but Hitler refused to let them retreat. Instead, he decided to use planes to drop them supplies and was going to have more troops parachute into the city to strengthen the German forces. He thought that would allow them to hold the city against the red army.

We came up with a plan to stop those planes from delivering the necessary supplies, and troops to the German army, and force them to retreat triggering one of the worst losses by German forces in this war.

There was an airfield where the Luftwaffe were set to take off from, with all of the supplies. Our plan was to infiltrate the airbase and sabotage the planes. We figured this would delay them long enough so that the German forces would have no choice but to surrender.

This plan was easier said than done. The airfield was heavily guarded, and there would be swarms of soldiers all over. In order to get to the planes without being spotted by all of these soldiers we were going to use underground waterway tunnels that were no longer in use. These tunnels went right under the airfield, and they would allow us to breach the walls without being seen by anyone. There was also an access point to the tunnels, that opened up right outside of an airplane hangar. This would be our way in and back out. With enough luck, the soldiers would not know we were ever there.

“Okay, I just heard news that the Germans are desperate for more food and ammunition. They are getting shell shocked and are begging for help. The planes will be set to take off soon, so we have to get this done quick” Aldo explained. We were packing our stuff and were about to leave. “Well then, we better get down there and sabotage some planes,” Hans said. I smiled at Hans’ enthusiasm. I slung my bag of tools over my shoulder and Hans and I left the apartment.

Walking down the street Hans turned to me, “Eloy, I’ve never said it, but I am really sorry Eliza was taken from you. You have been through a lot and are stronger than anyone I know.” I did not want to start tearing up because I had my emotions locked away nice and tight, but once the floodgates opened there may be no way to stop them, so I just said, “Thanks, Hans.
