cold there now, in winter and in summer alike. These are my beads, they're very old. They belonged to my mother. Yes. The room Frau Nabel occupies is particularly cold. It's a corner room. It used to be my elder son's room. Frau Nabel, the boss wants the menu to be retyped. All right, Paul, I'll do it. The boss wants it right away. All right, I'll do it right away. Did Frau Nabel know your son? No, not at all. Gabi never met him. I made my move. I got to know her... well, when... her house was bombed down. Paul! - Yes, sir? - More beer. Right away. What is this? Checkmate? No, that's no good. You didn't make that move, and I didn't make mine. Put it back, mine is here and yours is there. That was no good. I'll play the Kara-Kann defense. Only don't interfere. - What will you play? - The Kara-Kann defense. Well, go ahead. Well, it's quite possible. Oh, so you move here... Well, well, well... No way. Information to be pondered over. Gцring. Veteran of the Hitler Party, Reich Marshal, the Fuhrer's successor. Married for the second time, has two children. High-school education. "Kill, kill and kill. Don't think of the consequences. You must know: I'll answer for all of you." Hermann Gцring. In 1942, the Soviet Air Force had shattered the myth of the German Air Force's invincibility. And when the Allies' 800 airplanes had broken the air defenses of the Luftwaffe and destroyed and burned down Kiel, Hitler was yelling at Gцring in public: "Not one enemy bomb will ever fall on the Reich! Who was saying that to the nation? Who was assuring the Party of that? The leader's profession is in the exact correlation of promises and their fulfillment, Gцring. And you have deceived the nation." Gцring was known as a heroic pilot of World War One. After the Munich Beer Hall Putsch he fled to Italy, and returned to Berlin only following the amnesty. Hitler proposed Gцring as candidate to the Reichstag. He had to win the trust of the people. But he felt much more at ease with the fascists, and with the magnates that paid the Hitlerites. Following the Nazis' victory, Gцring became Reich Marshal of the Air Force, Reich President of the Reichstag, Reich President of Prussia, Reich Minister of the Air Force, responsible for carrying out the 4-year plan, Chief Forest Warden of Germany. As early as 1935, word went around the lower-level apparatchiks: "Gцring is no longer our Gцring. He doesn't receive his Party comrades as he used before. He makes them stand in line in his office to be signed up for an appointment. He wallows in luxury. He stopped mixing with the people." At first it was said almost in whisper. But when Gцring built himself a castle, Karinhall, where he had endless hunting parties, the leader of the Labor Front, Ley, complained to Hitler. "Gцring's style," he said, "is corrupting the nation." Goebbels added: "Luxury sucks in, my Fuhrer. We must help our Hermann." And Hitler went to Karinhall. "Leave him alone," he said after a talk with Gцring. Only Hermann knows how to present himself to Western diplomats. Let us regard this castle as the people's property. Let's think that Gцring just lives there." It was near Karinhall that a concentration camp was built, where at Gцring's sanction experiments were conducted on sick old people and children. "That's what the nation wants," said Gцring after a visit to that death camp. It was from Karinhall that Gцring gave the order to destroy Guernica. It was from Karinhall that he ordered to bomb Barcelona, Warsaw, Moscow, Coventry, Belgrade, Cracow, Leningrad. It was where he returned after Hitler for the first time subjected him to humiliating criticism in 1942, after the Allies' air raids. Since then he began to shun political activity, moved away from his old friends, making rare appearances at receptions.
