Whispers still crept along the walls. Get going, Paula. And good luck." The blanket rustled and a hand touched my arm and the stairs began mewing under her feet There was no change in the whispers. I waited a few minutes until 1 was sure that she was out of the house. I slipped down the hall, counting doors. One . . . two I eased it open a crack, and looked in. A hooded desk lamp was lighted, but no one was in the room. This was it. This was the fat mans Berchtesgaden. This was where he sat like a plump white toadstool brewing poison. I knew I ought to get on with the job of batting people over the head, but the room was too fascinating to leave. I wanted a closer look at the filing cases and huge maps and the shortwave transmitter studded with gleaming knobs and dials. I walked in and closed the door. Somewhere in the big sweating country behind me people had been talking. Talking proudly of my Some son" and my war work. of the words had echoed from one person to another until they became whispers scurrying through this gray house. A fat man had moved slowly to a filing cabinet and pulled out fat envelopes marked with divisional insignia. He had studied what the contents of the envelopes told him of the state of training, strength and location of the divisions. Then he had moved little flags on a wall map: to a maneuver area, to a staging area, to an overseas base. Or he had pulled out an envelope marked and had added the fact that they had started to come off the line with twin stingers in the tail. There were plenty of gaps in his collection. I checked a subject on which I had some inside information, and found that he was far behind the parade. That wasnt much comfort. Even when he only had one extra fact, it was one too many. It seemed like a good idea to mess up his collection as much as possible, just in case anything went wrong with my plans. I let the flies al'. ne. It would take hours to open every cabinet and destroy the contents. The pins on the map were another matter. He might not have a small scale duplicate, and it would take days of studying the filed material to replace the pins properly. I swept my hand over the big map. The pins bent like tiny bows, leaped free. With them fluttered small paper bags lettered with the numerals of divisions and airplane squadrons. The maps were clean. Too clean. I couldn't resist a temptation. I picked up the Fifth Air Force and First Armored and the Eighty-secon- d e and a couple of hot infantry divisions, and landed a task force in Berlin. In a glass case in a comer were four rifles, a shot-gua Tommy gun, several revolvers, and even a hand grenade. I let them alone. My Table of Basic Allowances called for one club, and I was already overequipped with a Luger I would never be able to handle. The gleaming panel of the shortwave transmitter deserved some attention, though. I looked behind the panel and selected the biggest tube I could And: one which bulged with cathode and grid and anode. I decided against breaking it because it might explode too loudly. Instead of that, I dropped it in the wastebasket and covered it with papers. It was only a start, anyway. By the time I finished' with the shortwave set, the only way it would ever ... reach Deutschland-sende- r would be by parcel post. I stretched out a hand toward the wiring . . . then got an idea which wiped the radio from my thoughts. I raised the blackout curtain of one seaward window.
