She learned that many soldiers had been people no older
than her boyfriend, and they'd been just as scared as
Dennis would have been.
And since she'd come to the set, Jody had seen that
powerful script come to life.
Today, by a cottage in Garbsen, outside
Hanover, she had watched the cast film scenes in
which a disgraced former SA officer leaves his family
to exonerate himself on the German battleship. She
had seen the gripping

entombing one thousand crew members. And here, in the
prop trailer, she had touched actual pieces of the
war.
Jody still found it difficult to believe that such
madness had taken place, even though the evidence was
spread on the tables before her. It was an
unprecedented array of vintage medals, lanyards,
gorgets, cuff-titles, weapons, and
memorabilia on loan from private collectors
in Europe and the United States. On the shelves
were carefully preserved, leather-bound maps,
military books, and fountain pens from the library of
General-feldmarschall von Harbou, on loan from
his son. In a file box in the closet were
photographs of the
Tirpitz
taken by reconnaissance aircraft and midget
submarines. And in a Plexiglass case was a
fragment of one of the twelve-thousand-pound Tallboy
bombs that had hit the ship. The rusted, six-inch
shard was going to be used as a background image for the
closing credits crawl.
Oil could stain the relics, so the tall,
slender brunette wiped her hands on her School
of Visual Arts sweatshirt before picking up the
authentic Sturmabteilung dagger she'd come for.
Her large, dark eyes shifted from the silver-tipped
brown metal sheath to the brown hilt. In a circle
near the top were the silver letters SA. Below them were a
German eagle and a swastika. Because of the tight
fit, she slowly withdrew the nine-inch weapon and
examined it.
