I felt pleased for the trust that Oskar put on me.

                      –Other thing Kurt –Continued–. I know that you will let pass what happened today and
               forget it soon, because thus is your generous character, but this time I will give you my advice:

                      talk with you Tutor and tell him everything that occurred today! Incredibles things are
               said about the spiritual powers of Rudolph Hess; no one better than him to analyse the the
               indescriptible attitude of Ernst Schaeffer. Promise me that you’ll think it, at least.

                      –I’ll  think  it,  I  will  –I  said  surprised  for  the  suggestion  of  Oskar–.  I  promise  you,
               although I won’t see the taufpate until the next month, for the graduation.

               We  bade  farewell  each  other  and  one  hour  later,  I  was  getting  on  the  train  towards  Berlin
               plunged immersed in profound musings.






               Chapter XI



                      The ceremony of the end of classes was realized, along with other schools, in a great
               festival, with massive parades of the Hitler’s Youth, which culminated in the Stadium of Berlin.


                      There  the  major  staff  of  the  Third  Reich,  leaded  by  the  Führer,  established  a  direct
               contact with the youth by means of speeches and proclamations.

                      Dad had come from Egypt especially to assit to the graduation, being invited by Rudolph
               Hess  to  concur  to  a  party  to  be  held  in  the  Chancellery.  This  would  be,  in  my  opinion,  the
               expected opportunity to clarify many enigmas.

                      At the 10 pm went up the marble stairs of the Chancellery. Dad, stylishly dressed with
               jacket,  and  I,  with  the  uniform  of  the  Hitlerjungend,  not  seemed  out  of  place  amongt  the
               numerous  concurrence  that  already  filled  the  great  Hall  of  the  Eagle,  forming  different
               murmuring huddles of voices and laughs. We crossed the hall towards the enourmous house of
               carved  marble,  searching  for  Rudolph  Hess,  while  over  our  heads  a  spider  of  colossal
               dimensions  was  shedding  torrents  of  light,  smoothly  cushioned  by  thousands  of  pieces  of
               baccarat crystal. I had never seen so many distuingushed people gathered. There were all the
               leaders of the New Germany, the Dr. Goebbels, the Marshal Goering, the Reichführer Himmler,
               Julius Streicher… And in a separated corner we distuingished a group formed by Rosenberg,
               Rudolph Hess and Adolf Hitler. Dad, fearing to interrupt a reserved conversation, indicated me
