The Daughter of the Führer

IX

♡•○•♡

After what seems like an eternity, we arrive in this small clearing where there are some really big and tall trees, as I understand from Jakob's explanation, the house is in one of these trees.
I can't wait to climb it and see from up there!
《We're here, this is the tree! 》
Jakob tells me, pointing at a big oak tree, I think... I must have been listening to the science lesson about trees, instead of drawing on the bench...
Well, it's late now, who knows if our class is still there, and if the desks are still the same as we left them the Friday before... there will still be school.... and will the park still be as beautiful as I remember it or will it have become a military dump... I miss it so much...
Sophie and her family will have been saved, I really hope so and that we could play together in my parents' house, that would be very nice!
《Jakob, the rafio in the little house, will it only connect with the Swiss one or also the neighbouring ones, for example the French one, who being at war with Germany will plot against them, and will also talk about the situation in Poland...》
He looks at me with a face mixed between sad and sorry, I don't know why but I'll find out.
《So how do we get on? 》
Immediately he hits a basket on the house with a large pebble and causing it to topple down a long rope with steps attached, now that I notice the pebble he threw is back in place again, I guess if he pulls it backwards the ladder will return to its place. A real genius!
Immediately he says to me.
《First the ladies! Careful, it won't take you long to fall and break something! 》
He warns me, already knowing that I would fall or stumble a little....
I start climbing up the ladder, being very careful to place my feet stably on the small wooden beams, having almost reached the halfway point, I freeze in place because I hear a gunshot nearby, Jakob also gets alarmed and urges me to move faster. I start climbing two steps at a time to allow Jakob to climb as well.
As soon as I have reached the wooden platform, I look out to see where Jakob is, and I see him beyond the halfway point, so I hold out my hand to him to speed up his ascent, he takes it and pulls it up, then pulls the rope back up, putting it back in its basket. Then we look in the direction of the shot r see a group of men dressed in black advancing through the forest, they look scary and dangerous. I look at Jakob to ask him who they are, but he urges me not to breathe a word and points to the bandana they have around their biceps, it is a red band with a white circle in the middle and in the middle a kind of cross with more angled sides. At the moment I can't remember where I have seen that symbol before, but it is familiar.
... it's the Nazis... but it's a neutral state! What are they doing here!
