blazing fury. / jerked and
tore at them. and moaned.
Then l lay still. My thoughts
wandered. The past was a
tumble Of colors and faces
and irremediable mistakes, and
the future was a toothless bag
grinning out Of black fog.
Faint noises scurried
through the walls. Other
chained men lay in the cells
10 my right and left, above
me and below me. of and on,
an insane yell stabbed through
the night.
Out in the yard the search
lights blazed. lingering over
the long window rows of the
cell blocks.
THOUGHT OF FIRELEI
1 thought of Cilly, of Otto,
of many others l had known.
What had become of them?
! thought of Firelei
where are you?" I asked.
what are they doing to
yOu?"
And | would hear a whisper,
Firelei'S voice drifting close
beside me, saying words that
were kind and sweet and
meaningless, until they were
swallowed up by sounds from
other sources: a night guard
barking commands at a column
of newly-arriving prisoners, or
the voice of Arthur Ewert
growing out of the gloom:
II tell you, we are making
a horrible mistake"
Or the lusty voice of Com
rade Canoe of lie Havre
cracking:
"Buvez du win, ct vivez
joyeux!"
Or the cordelia voice of
Marietta. the doxy with the
noble soul. rciterating:
up the stairs, and down
the stairs, Oh-lala."
And there was always the
droning Of airplanes.
Toward / o'clock in the
morning the Command for
Special Purposes arrived in
Camp Fuhlsbuettel. They
were young Elite Guards, a
hand-picked lot of Gestapo
apprentices.
Invariably they arrived on
suffering motor lorry.
When the lorry arrived in the
yard, its driver blew the horn
TO announce the commence
ment of the nocturnal horrors.
1t began with the ringing of
boots on the concrete tiers,
and the banging of doors. A
loud voice read off a list of
names. Troopers entered the
cells. Hoarse whispers:
Hello, hello, you'll be shot
at sunrise"
The door closed. Sometime
later it was opened again.
SHOOTS INTO CELL
The outline of Death Head
guard stood against the cor
ridor lights.
Hey he yelled.
Then he emptied his re-
volver into the walls and cell
ing of the cell. A period of
silence followed, until the
banging of doors began anew.
Chained men were beaten in
the night. l could hear the
banging doors, the tramping
boots, the wild howls of the
beaten. They came nearer,
nearer. Then the turning of
a key in the lock of my cell
door. Three troopers barged
in.
They stripped away the
faded blanket and their rub

unfortunately. A prisoner
who did not yell was beaten
until he yelled, to satisfy the
guards. and TO terrify the
comrades in adjoining cells,
whose turn would be next.

as if under an attack of
malaria, and after they had
done their work, / lay still,
too stupefied TO listen to the
bowling of the others. Three

There were other prisoners
in the yard, undergoing per-
verted form of military drill.
The Elite Guard chased me
to the edge of mud hole.
The hole was 10 feet deep
and about Is feet wide.
Across it led narrow plank,
which sagged downward in the
middle. The plank was worn
off by many feet.

guard commanded, brandish-
ing his club.

plank. After 10 lurching
steps, the trooper jumped
with both feet on the end of
the plank. i lost my balance
and toppled into the mud.

Comfortably warm?"
"Yes, SIR"

the club. "One-two-three-four,

Faster!"
THEN QUESTIONS
On the morning of the
fourth day, l was brought
back TO Berlin. Two hours of
questioning followed. A Ges-
tapo inspector showed me a
map Of the western border
districts of Germany and de-
manded that / should draw in
the location of Comintern
frontier relay stations.
Then he showed me a series
of photographs for identified
ton. After that followed ques-
tons about the names and
addresses of Communists in
countries adjoining Germany.
Again, all this led TO nothing.

THOUGHT OF DEFEAT
All day I watched the wind
drive snowflakes through the
naked trees at the edge of
the yard. Toward evening the
wind died down, and night
came dark and still, inter-
rupted only by the droning Of
distant airplanes.
/ did not feel so well. l had
thought much about the black,
humiliating defeat Of the
Communist Party of Ger

anguished boring.
Had we become so accus-
toned 10 fighting for an I'M
attainable ideal that fighting
became an end itself? In the
best of times the ideal was
hardly more than a ghost.
Besides, my back still burned
from half-healed decorations,
and leaden pain was in my
bones.

PREPARED REPLIES

The questioning of me got
nowhere. Already / had be-
come so experienced that 1
could formulate an answer to
a question before il was asked.

evasive. or misleading. Not
TO answer at all is--in Ges-

A police truck whisked me

across the Havel River and out
on a road which leads toward
Straslund. There were per-
haps 80 prisoners in the
truck. a sullen and detected
looking crew.
Elite Guards stood between
the rows of prisoners to keep
us from communicating with
one another. After a couple
of hours we arrived at Con-
centration Camp Oranienburg.
I saw factory buildings. long
barbed wire fences, low bar
racks and a large paved court
yard.
Again I was singled out for
solitary confinement. A damp
little compartment in the
basement of an old brewery
became my temporary home.
Outside was a driving rain.
/ received no cot and no
blankets. but two burlap
sacks stuffed full of ill-smell-
ing rags. I shivered dismally.
One of the troopers on duty

head into my cage every two

means a lot more than may

Falla brought to that meet

brought the common touch
