Peron and the Americans? Are you certain we can trust him not to betray us?” Hitler asked.
Dönitz explained, “America was putting pressure on Peron to choose sides, but they cannot give him what we can offer. If they ever found out he collaborated with us, they would no doubt put Argentina on their ‘Exkremente liste.’ Shit list. Peron already lied to them and told them Argentina had declared war on our fatherland. He’s assured the Americans that the Argentine navy will patrol the area of Rio de Planta in the South Atlantic, our rendezvous point, so we have no concern over being intercepted or disturbed by enemy warships.”
“What we can give, we can also take away and give to his opponents, and Peron knows that. Knowing our power, he will co-operate. He is our Latin American pet,” said Műller, receiving a contemptuous glare from Dönitz for interrupting him.
“Have you also offered President Rios of Chile the same deal?” Hitler asked, smirking.
“Of course, Füehrer.” Műller smiled.
“That sounds satisfactory. I only want to be in Argentina for four days at the most, until we make our final relocation,” insisted Hitler, and feeling confident he continued to read Dönitz’s Genesis folder, and asked, “How and when do we begin the operation?”
“We will take you to the U-boat at Farge port. Kruger should have completed his mission at Schenkenzell and will meet you at the U-boat in three days.” Műller explained.
Hitler again studied the details and asked, “What about our false papers?”
Gross Admiral Dönitz took a small brown bag from his case and handed it to Hitler, who opened it and removed several bundles of papers, some containing photos.
“Everything was prepared for every stage my Füehrer,” said Dönitz. He rubbed the Iron-Cross on his skirt collar and smirked at Műller.
“These are exceptional,” said Hitler scrutinizing the documents. He looked at the men and said, “Three days it is then. You still have a lot of work to do, so carry out my orders, but make sure you double-check everything. You have your Füehrer’s life in your hands. Műller, keep me informed of Kruger’s progress.” He sat back in his chair.
Műller nodded and said, “Yes, My Füehrer.”
Hitler and Eva remained seated while the others in the room got up and walked towards the door.
“Heinrich,” he called out to Műller. “Tell the guards to fetch Doctor Mengele and Professor Gutzieg.”
“Yes, my Füehrer,” said Műller exiting the room, leaving Adolf and Eva alone to carry on looking at their new papers and reading the files.
The telephone ringing disturbed the couple. Hitler got off his chair and went to answer.
The caller was SS-Obersturmbannfüehrer, Adolf Eichmann, a call that Hitler was expecting.
Hitler got straight to the point, and asked, “Has everything gone according to plan Eichmann?”
Eichmann replied, and Eva saw Hitler becoming irate as he snapped, “You are already behind schedule. What do you mean 90% complete? Are the Jews dead?”
Again, Eichmann replied, and after giving details, Hitler said, “So, the result of the project is 100% of the 500 unprotected test subjects died, but none of the 20 immunised individuals affected?” Hitler calmed down, smiled, and said, “Eichmann, that sounds to me to like a 100% success.”
Hitler heard artillery shells exploding in the background and asked, “Are those the enemies’ shells or ours?”
Eichmann told him that they were British artillery closing in on their position.
He then explained about his 10%, shortfall of success and needed more time to monitor the immunised surviving test subjects, so could not guarantee the immunisation’s success, or if its effects were permanent or only temporary. Eichmann said he needed time to work on an airborne delivery system.
“We have no time for that. I must get this information immediately,” said Hitler, and with urgency in his voice, added, “We can leave those small details for the future. You must get here with all haste. Can you avoid capture?”
Eichmann assured him that if he was to leave now that his men would cover him so he could avoid the enemies advance on the concentration camp.
“What about the scientist and our successful test subjects, are they with you now?” asked Hitler.
Eichmann confirmed they were also in the room, along with a few of his soldier’s as ordered.
“Get here as soon as you can, Eichmann. I am waiting, and you know what you must do?” continued Hitler and with a sinister tone to his voice, added, “Leave no trace Eichmann… Do you understand?”
Hitler heard Adolf Eichmann issue an order to his men, and the sound of automatic gunfire reverberated through the telephone. Hitler smirked and hung up.
Professor Kurt Gutzieg and S.S. Hauptsurmfüehrer Doctor Josef Mengele stood in the doorway along with their soldier escorts. They had overheard the end of the call, which sent a chill through both the medical academics.
Hitler looked over at the men and ordered, “Please be seated gentlemen,” motioning for them to sit alongside Eva.
Professor Kurt Gutzieg took his BUCH MOSE folder from his case and placed it on the coffee table. Hitler joined them and the professor opened the folder. Gutzieg took out five A4 size documents, four of which had details filled in with photographs clipped to them. The fifth sheet was almost blank, with no photograph. Kurt handed them to Hitler, who held up the sheet of paper and asked, “What about this sheet. Why are there only a few details on this one?”
Mengele answered, “She is still about two days from delivery. We don’t yet have any details about the infant.” He then chuckled, “This one doesn’t want to come out.”
Hitler sneered and said, “I want to know everything about this one, too.”
Mengele nodded and assured him that he would have the details and a photo as soon as possible.
“Make sure that I do,” said Hitler glaring at Josef Mengele to serve as a warning not to chuckle or make light of the subject. Mengele got the message and stayed silent. Hitler showed the documents to Eva who looked at each photograph and smiled at the black and white images of mothers cradling newborn infants.
Kurt Gutzieg then smiled and said, “This process I named GutziegEsterne OvarielienInseminatin, and it has been a great success.” He produced a separate file from within his Genesis folder and was about to explain his technique when Hitler abruptly cut him off and asked, “Have you any other copies of this technique?” (decades later it’s known as *I.V.F).
“Yes, Füehrer,” said Kurt, looking confused as he reached into his case and took out a small journal.
“Everything on my research is in this book. However, the BUCH MOSE file, also had the details,” said Gutzieg.
“Anything else?” Hitler asked, glaring at the professor.
“No Füehrer,” announced Gutzieg, furrowing his brow and looking nervous.
Hitler held out his hand, and the professor handed him his journal, assuming he wanted to study it. Instead, Hitler went over to the fireplace, tossed the professor’s journal into the flames, and then re-joined the group. Noticing the shocked disbelief on Professor Gutzieg’s face, he said, “If this fell into the wrong hands, they would realise we have done something using this technique and investigate, and we can’t allow that, can we Kurt?”
Gutzieg watched his work burn. He sighed, shook his head, and replied, “No, my Füehrer.”
Hitler flicked through the rest of the folder and asked Mengele, “Are you familiar with the professor’s technique, Josef?”
Mengele had known Hitler for some time, so became suspicious
