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  !
