Hahn stood threatening, with the bottle in his hand, his arm raised, ready to
knock it into the face of the young man at any time.
"Stop your damn crying, boy. We are at war. "
With a jolt he turned away from Peter, who could not hold his tears back. The
weeping came tumbling down. His crying was loud in volume and came in
anxious shocks, like a child, as he fell to the ground.
“Are you not listening? We are at war! Stop it.”
The chair at the small desk squeaked when Hahn brat sat down in the chair and
screwed the lid off his field bottle.
"Start."
The next three hours, the two men did not exchange a word. As fossilized, Jürgen
Hahn was sitting and studying the letters he had received. The whiskey bottle
was empty.
After cleaning the trailer, polishing the general boots, picking up telegrams and
arranging some papers, the young adjudicator asked for permission to step off.
"You’re not going anywhere!”
Every bit of kindness had disappeared from his voice. Hahn felt a monsoon of
anger tolling over him, as he jumped up and grabbed the collar of the young
soldier.
With a knotted fist he struck the young soldier in his face. The blow came with
such impact that Eberhardt’s body opened the door. He fell out of the trailer and
down two steps. Jürgen Hahn barely paid any heed to the waves of snow blowing
against his face. He was furious.
Bewildered, the young man tried to get up. Jürgen Hahn was over him.
"You are not going anywhere, goddamnit. That’s an order!" he roared, as raised
the youth up the stairs.
This time he hit as viciously as he could, and hammered his fist into one
side of Peter Eberhardt. At the same time kicking in the his other side.
"Let me fucking be! Do you hear?" Peter called out desperately, as blood flowed
down his face.
The hatred was taking over Jürgen Hahn, who now slung his arm around the
young man's neck, holding his head like a screwdriver. He did not pay any
attention to the words popping out of the young soldier's mouth.
