placed the frame far down the nose. With a wondering expression, as if Uno was
his first customer.
"Are you a photo dealer? Do you develop the pictures here? "
"Yes…” said the old man, "Please follow me."
Proudly, he showed a dark room at the back of the shop, while explaining that he
used the latest technology and could deliver the photographs exactly as Uno
wanted.
The old sir got even more excited, when Uno explained that there was a
considerable amount of images and that the payment was good. On the other
hand, he demanded discretion. Uno made sure he disclosed the information that
it was for the Nazi party, and that it would have catastrophic consequences if he
broke Uno's trust.
"Oh, but you can sure have faith in me.” The photo man said.
“I will do my utmost to accommodate your wishes, "
Uno took out a few notes and laid them on the counter
"Regard this as a gratitude and a symbol of our future flourishing cooperation.
You will soon receive the first film rolls from my assistant, Dieter Stormann."
After Uno said goodbye and drove through the medieval city, he
convinced himself that this was the right place. The old photo dealer would not
dare to ask nosey questions. No interference meant that he could work quietly
and undisturbed.
He intended to deliver the promised reports plus photographs to the Nazis. At
the same time, he would make a precise copy of both the written reports and
images that he archived in the gallery's archive. Whether the Nazis won the war
or not, he was sure that the archive would benefit him. Some people would
probably pay a lot of money for that information. And if Germany lost the war, he
could have his revenge on the war-lecherous art amateurs. It would also be
easier to locate the works as well.
Every other week he sent Dieter to Martzen's photo, Dieter returned home with
irreplaceable world-class art. Historic art that never got tedious studying.
He was delighted that the archives in Berlin soon would behold the glory
of all this beauty and power. His child, his pride, his life, his work; soon would get
new life.
