–I don’t understand nothing what you are talking about, but I presage that you are really
worried, son. I’ll tell you what you want to know, and that God forgives me if I commit a
mistake doing it, – she breathed deeply and continued: –Kurt; he came that night of 1947. My
brother Kurt, was presumed dead or disappeared in Berlin of 1945, he was really complying a
mission in Italy when the war ended. He remained two years hidden in a Franciscan Monastery
in the South of Italy, until 1947 when he could came to Argentina, thanks to the support staff
for war fugitives that worked with the help of the government of the President Domingo
Perón.

–But, Mom –I interrupted– Why did he not return to Egypt, to the familiar ranch? The
Egyptian government was very protector of the Germans, especially after the foundation of the
State of Israel in 1948.

–It is a mystery. He never wanted to say it, neither the motive of the persecution,
because he was only 30 years old. – Reasoned my Mother ingeniously– and he almost always
had diplomatic destinies.

–But, what was he during the war? –I asked intrigued– civil or military?

then 10 years would pass until he appeared here in 1947. During this time I didn’t know much
about him, due to I received letters once a year and never directly. Because Kurt wrote to Egypt
and thence Dad send them here.

In such way that I almost don’t know anything about his career; just the little that he
could said me in the correspondence of his student days and less during the war, in which he
showed himself sparing with the others. I know that in the school Napola he outstood by his
knowledge in languages of the Middle East and this helped him to realize many special grades,
but I don’t know specifically in what consisted.

I remember that in his early days he was happy, because they permitted him to enter in
a division of the school Napola called, if I’m not mistaken Fliejer H-J, where was imparted the
