CORPORAL F R I T Z . by : itzhak bareket .
Corporal Fritz , was a good looking young man. He was always well dressed in his military clothes and has a certain charming smjle on his face. He used to bring us good food, fine wine, excelent cigarettes and bitter-swite black chocolate.
CORPORAL FRITZ loved music, dance , poetry , arts . HE really was a very nice honorable gentleman ,He liked very much
society , yes , he liked us , a bunch of young jews and enjoyed to eat , drink and dance with us.
Once ,he was in a very good mood , after he danced with my girlfriend , I asked him : CORPORAL , YOU KNOW , YOU ARE AN
EXCELENT DANCER, CONGRATULATIONS , but.....you certanly know....that you are killing us without any reason.....is that
true ?....CAN YOU.....ARE YOU ABLE TO TAKE OUT YOUR REVOLVER AND KILL US ?
FRITZ ANSWERED ME WITH HIS SMILING CHARM : " man, you should understand , I LIKE YOU.....I LIKE ALL OF YOU
VERY MUCH , I REALLY DO , BELIEVE ME.....BUT...".BEFEHL IST BEFHEL".....if my sergent will comand me to kill.....
IL " KILL.....I ' TS WAR MAN.....".COMMAND IS COMMAND " . AND SHOULD BE DONE !
