Mr. Mani
“Nevertheless, Egon felt certain that he had been right to tear up the transfer order.
Despite the increase in Greek partisan attacks on the German army in Crete, Egon remained determined to discover the village or monastery in which Mrs. Mani and her child were hiding, but he searched in vain. In October, in response to a British breakthrough, he was transferred with his unit to northern Italy, and from there, via Austria, to the raging Eastern Front. In January 1945, in the midst of a particul...arly hard winter, he was stationed in an abandoned manor house not far from the Polish town of Oświ[ecedil]cim., where he served as a medic in a support unit for the garrison of a nearby concentration camp. In February 1945 he was taken prisoner by the Russians, who held him until January 1946. Upon his release, he returned to his grandparents’ estate, which, in the postwar confusion, he took possession of as if it were his own. However, when the family attorney returned from a prolonged internment in a prisoner-of-war camp in Siberia and opened the Sauchons’ will, it came to light that Egon was mentioned there as no more than a possible heir, nor was anything said about his being the admiral’s son.MoreLess
