Liquidate Paris
“'You have twelve hours in which to speak,' Oberleutnant Bruhner tersely informed him.
What was to happen at the end of twelve hours, if he chose not to speak, was not revealed to him. Possibly his captors themselves did not know. Possibly it never crossed their minds that the problem would arise. You could, after all, make anyone talk in twelve hours. S.S. Untersturmfuhrer Steinbauer, Gestapo agent, smiled so broadly in anticipation that his face split almost in two. Twelve hours! It was ch...ild's play.
He glanced contemptuously towards the tattered wreck of the parachutist. That one wouldn't last thirty minutes. If that long. Some of them broke after the first twenty; almost all were subdued by the ice baths that followed. By that time a man was liable to be no more than a lump of meat, raw and bleeding and insensible. But just occasionally, when they were stubbornly bent on continuing the farce, the brain would endeavour to remain active.MoreLess
