The disgusted face that he did when I went was as a presage that I had did something
wrong supposing that the Professor could include me in his plans. Nevertheless the bag presage
that I had, I decided to play my card.
–Heil Hitler –I said by all greeting.
–What do you want von Sübermann? –He said ignoring the politic salute.
–Excuse me Herr Professor. I have known that you select personal for an important
mission in Asia and, even though I don’t know much about it, I want you to consider the
possibility to include me. That’s to say, I offer me voluntarily.
–You von Sübermann? –He was looking at me sharpening the gaze, with a cynical
expression–. And why do you want to go to Asia von Sübermann?
–I think that you have misunderstood me Herr Professor. I want to be useful to the
homeland and that is a form to demonstrate it. Perhaps my knowledges about the mores and

–Don’t you understand von Sübermann? –He started to scream in uncontrollable form–.
Well, I’ll tell you with all the letters. You are a sinister person, carrier of an ignominius mark.
Its presence is an affront to God, who in his infinite compassion permits you to live amongst
men. You should be rejected, separated from us or, better, exterminated as a rat, because you,
von Sübermann, contaminates with sin all what sorrounds you, you… –Ernst Schaeffer
continued his insults, absolutely out of his head and me, that in a first moment had remained
amazed at hearing the allusion to the Sign, was reacting rapidly.
Without thinking it twice, I shot the right fist in the face of the Professor, hitting him
