Troy

Miss Rakosy still hides her truth from us. We've all tried to get her to share more of how she got out of the concentration camp. She closes up like a clam. From what we can see from the top of the canyon walls, the Germans are setting up a good sized camp, purpose unknown. They've already fenced off the tents of the Medjai and set up an entry check point on the German side of things. This bodes ill for the Medjai.

Miss Rakocy identifed the short fat guy in glasses as probably Dr. Goethe, but isn't completely certain about the SS Colonel. The latter has been staying near the German tents. Looks like the Jerry's go a head start on us to have beat us here.

It looks like most of Bay's men are out of the camp. The guns the German's are putting in at either end of the place will be bad news when Bay and his men come back from wherever they've gone. If we try to warn them, we'll give ourselves away.

"Does it look like the Army will be staying?" Rakocy asked quietly.

I shrugged in answer, keeping an eye on Dietrich as he crossed the hard packed earth and went into on of the sand colored tents. A younger blond man looking like a subordinate went in a few minutes later, staying long enough for a report and exiting.

She tugged on my shoulder, asking for the binoculars. A big man in a black uniform headed into the same tent. She watched as he disappeared into the tent and nodded. "Eckhard," she whispered as she handed the binoculars back to me and tuned to head back down the rise of hard rock when a commotion started below us.

A couple of blackshirts who had been standing nearby went in. Several of Dietrich's men tried to follow and then the first two men came out supporting Dietrich. He looked unconscious as they dragged him off to another tent, this one the paler color of a medical facility.

What the hell was going on? I kept watching and the SS man Rakocy identified as Eckhard stepped into the sun. I could see his face clearly and that was the satisfied smile of a man who just got away with something.
