Have you had enough schnapps? Happens. The soldier went crazy from the schnapps and fell down the slope. He was hit. The staff radio was hit by a machine gun in this square. Radio saboteur. - Radio saboteur? - Killed? - Don't know. He did not work in code, in plain text. Literally the following: June 22 and... everything else. - What now? “The Fuhrer will not delay his strike for a minute.” - Hand, Heinrich, hand! - I can not! - Johann! - Hold on, Heinrich! Give me your hand! Heinrich, hold on! “The whole of Riga will know what kind of person you are.” - Please, about our fishing - no one. You saved my life. Do you know how the Germans treat your father? The owner will fire me. - Slave philosophy. — He promised to leave me a car repair shop. —Aren’t you going to Germany? “I am a German and duty comes first for me, but I didn’t want to return to my homeland as beggars.” Things are going well for me in Riga. Your father pays generously for his orders, and you don't take too long with your secret mechanic. Where my father goes, so do I. There are yachts, motorcycles and racing everywhere. The head of the Council of People's Commissars of Latvia came to my father and offered him a chair at the institute. - In my opinion, father does not go to Germany because of his brother. His father can’t stand him, he considers him a plebeian, he is a stepbrother from a maid. Uncle Willy is now a major figure in the Reich. The father dreams of technical power, like his brother dreams of world domination. It's not the same thing. He is not very sympathetic to fascism, but he wants to impose his will. Radio engineering is his goal. He's a technocrat. - And a dreamer. - When will you go see your father? “We need to rack our brains over something.” An engineer loves clean work. - Why only to your father? - I won't be around for a long time. - Racing? - Mileage. — Tell Mr. Engineer. — Is it you, Mr. Weiss? The engineer would become angry if I put off this work until the morning. - Yes, fate. — A watch, a wallet, a ring were stolen. - This is not a robbery. — Death occurred from poisoning. Retribution for the disobedient and a warning for those who hesitate. The engineer was killed with a pistol, not a bullet. Ampoule with poison. Just the day before, he became a Soviet subject and the criminals knew it. I was unemployed for a long time before I got a job at a car repair shop, citizen investigator. - What have you done! I'm a worker just like you. The party organization sent me. You don’t want to help the investigation, but your compatriot was killed. After Sovietization, Latvians changed their attitude towards the Germans. Why should I wait for the car and not the car for me? Sorry, Mr. Papke. I'm in big trouble. I was interrogated by the NKVD. They want a German criminal. Are you german. To the harbor. I ask you, as a public face of the German unification, to protect me if necessary. —
Nothing goes unpunished
This happened in the summer of 2006. On that July day, around 10-11 o'clock in the afternoon, my friend Denis called me and asked me to meet as soon as possible. I invited him to visit and went to make myself some coffee to wake up. It was our second day off for both of us; we worked a 2/2 night shift, so I was at a loss as to the reasons for such an early visit. About 20 minutes later the doorbell rang - it was him. To be honest, he looked pathetic - his red eyes, rumpled appearance and the smell of fumes suggested that he had been carousing all night. But pallor and exhaustion suppressed these thoughts. It was clear that something bad had happened. It was after this conclusion that I noticed one eerie detail, which actually served as proof (at least for me) of the veracity of his story. But more on that later. After greeting each other, we went into the kitchen and lit a cigarette. After a minute of silence, he simply, without any introductions, began to talk. Before telling his story, it is worth mentioning that my friend lived in a small village not far from our hometown. Accordingly, everyone knew everything, and about everyone. This is what I heard (naturally, I omitted the “strong” expressions and tried to make my friend’s confused explanations digestible): “Our village, as you know, is small, because when the neighbor’s son began to get carried away with his affairs, rumors spread quickly. He was always not very sociable, and mostly stayed at home, no one attached much importance to this. And they couldn’t prove anything... In general, they used to say that he got involved with the wrong company - and not with some criminals (he snapped ahead of my question)! – with Satanists or something. They said that he and a dubious company often visited the surrounding cemeteries for something, but since the vandalism was not noticed, no one did anything. And, as I already said, there was no evidence that they were summoning the Devil there (here he chuckled nervously and fell silent for a while)... So the adults decided - they say, the boy will go crazy and come to his senses. And no one paid attention to the incomprehensible symbols that sometimes appeared on the surrounding trees and garages, or to the incomprehensible monotonous chants that were periodically heard from barns or groves nearby. This boy’s mother stopped worrying after going to the local witch and to the temple. Both the priest and the granny, who were reputed to be a local expert in such matters, confidently said that there was nothing blasphemous in the actions of the “merry company” - they were just in the head and had nothing to do. So they left everything as it was, thinking that they would get tired of this devilry and the guys would come to their senses... I myself didn’t really communicate with him - so, sometimes we’ll stand at the gate and discuss mutual friends or some kind of football. After all, he lived in the house opposite... And not so long ago, two weeks ago, I heard our “Satanists” quarreling. The neighbor yelled at them something like “Cowards! Unworthy!” or something like that... Well, I think we've played enough. After that, no one saw any more gatherings in the churchyards, no tedious howling was heard, and the squiggles, which only looked mysterious and creepy (but in reality were just scribbles) stopped appearing. Only now my neighbor has become somehow unsociable. He even greeted me with only a short nod and ran away. That’s when the destruction of monuments in cemeteries, the desecration of our church with obscene inscriptions and other disgusting things began. We still thought then that the guy had quit on time, otherwise all the bumps would have fallen on him. But it was impossible to tell from him whether it was him or not. Moreover, the graves of his relatives were damaged. And yesterday...” Denis fell silent again. While he was lighting another cigarette (the 7th in half an hour), I noticed that his hands were shaking violently. “So, I was sitting last night, around twelve o’clock, watching TV. There was no one at home - the father went to bed at night, the mother went to visit her sister. Then I hear a knock on the window and they call my name. The voice was familiar, I immediately understood - the same neighbor boy. Well, you never know - maybe he wanted to ask for something. But just some kind of nasty feeling arose in my soul, I didn’t open the door right away, but looked out the veranda window, before turning on the porch light... He stands and looks at me, smiles innocently and says: “Denis, I killed my parents. ” Calmly, without emotion, and began to cry. Only then did I notice that his hands were covered in blood, not up to the elbows, but completely, his T-shirt was also stained all over... In some kind of stupor, I slowly went into the hall to get the phone, and he kept knocking on the door and said that he had not I wanted that he didn’t know how it would all end, that he was punished too much... Some more nonsense about demons, devils and the punishment of the Lord. To be honest, I don’t remember anymore. The police arrived quickly, judging by the watch. As for me, more than one hour passed. All this time I sat with a poker opposite the front door and nervously smoked. But he didn’t let up - he was telling me something. To be honest, I don’t even remember. They took him, however, not to the department, but to a psychiatric hospital. Who would believe the nonsense about demons who forced them to kill? And I was taken to identify the bodies as the main witness. He used a knife to hit them... Apparently he hit them many times - they were some kind of shapeless heaps, not bodies. I could barely see their faces... So there you go. Don’t be angry that you woke me up - I needed to talk it out... Maybe we can have a drink, huh?” We sat with him for another two hours, drank, I told him something distracting. And then, looking at him, I called a taxi and sent him home - he needed much more sleep than I did. I had no doubt at all about the reality of this story. The point is not in how and with what appearance he told me this, and not in the fact that Denis, in principle, had no habit of lying. It's just that my friend's hair has always been black. And on my threshold he stood with a sparse gray streak, framing a large spot of white in the forehead area. As for you, dear readers, I am sure that someone will consider that guy to be simply crazy, and someone will really believe that he is possessed by demons. As for me, I don’t know where the truth is. But I believe in two things - that Denis did not lie to me, and that people do not go crazy overnight. Decide for yourself what to believe.
