The Fortress
(Collaboration Ace Series)

Ace: Shy, Jewess
'Adolf Hitler decrees that the Jewish Question will be thoroughly dealt with. The
Nazis went to the farm and took Shy and her son to a concentration camp...'

Shy was born in France in 1909.
She was 31 when Otto dropped in on her.
She was a war widow.
By that point, her husband had been dead four months.
He died defending France from Nazi invasion.

Before the war,
Shy was happily married.
Her husband worked on their farm.
He drove the tractor,
tilled the land and managed the livestock.
They had a son in 1929.
Theirs' was a simple but happy life.

War changed everything.
Shy's husband joined the army.
Managing the farm became her job.
Her son helped out.
Things were hard.
Shy sold the animals.

While the hardships continued,
she did her number one passion:
paint and draw.
As a teenager, Shy had attended art college.
Her two years there taught her skills that nurtured her talents.
Her work was on show in galleries,
sold well and was talked about.

A rich art collector almost married Shy.
He was twenty years her senior.
She liked him but never loved him.
Youthful innocence was manipulated.
Almost adding an artist to an art collection.
A trophy wife.

Luck and fate saved Shy.
An old school friend introduced her to her future husband.
Real love blossomed and grew.
Soon they married and the collector was no more.
The couple bought a farm and became farmers.
Shy painted the land and sketched the animals.
They had a son and were in love.
Slowly time passed.

Adolf Hitler ruined their lives.
His war declaration shattered Europe.
Events and death followed, as did a plane crash.
Piloting that crippled Messerschmitt was 19 year old Otto.
He should have been killed but lived.
Shy's son saved him.

And then Otto met Shy and they fell deeply in love.
A forbidden love -
the Nazi pilot and Jewish woman.
Yet they found happiness and dared to dream.
For a few short years, they were content. I

Even when Otto was sent to Russia, Shy endured.
His affair with Ace,
a simple peasant girl, wasn't good.
Was it payback for Otto shooting down her husband?
Shy rescued Otto.
Then murdered the Soviet woman.
Shy briefly stayed in Russia with Otto.

Back in France she waited for him.
Soon they were together.
Otto had to defend against American bombers.
That fight was to the last breath.
It started high over France and then consumed Germany.

Otto became famous after shooting down many planes.
Soon attention focused on Shy.
Somebody mentioned her Jewish grandparents.
They were long dead but their blood lived.
It flowed in Shy's veins.

Evil worked behind the scenes.
When Otto was preparing to lead
the Luftwaffe's most perilous wartime mission, they came.
You are part Jewish.
You will come with us.
If you resist, you will be shot.

Shy and her son were taken by the Gestapo to a Konzentrationslager.
Both would soon be murdered.
Otto's fate was sealed too.
In war, love endured but flesh was burnt.

Tell the world, her name is Shy.
They perished along with millions more in Hitler's senseless war.

----
Beyond the battle, The German General came before Soviets take over Shy and her son's life.

"I will take charge of the Jewish"!
as the General ordered to the Nazis
" Hand them over!
Fully blindfolded!
"Sir! Yes sir!
as the Nazis
saluted the General.

Shy and her son's life saved once again for a reason, of exchange
between love, life, and humanity.
Along the way, Shy took a deep breath and thanked her God for saving their lives. Of a man, he doesn't know for she was blindfolded when they've been surrendered to the General.

" I know what you're thinking Jewish woman!
your son's with you" all I want is to
keep your mouth shut!
while we are traveling!
and that, I can promise you
you will be safe, and safe from the Bandits!"

Shy couldn't do anything but sobbed in the corner
of the armoured car.

"Whoever you are that saved our lives, thank you is not enough for me to say," You are an angel that came down from heaven..,
Shy Whispered to the General.
And before he responded Shy, they have reached the place where no one could see.

The Fortress;

General Roda took charge of the Jewish people that he saved from the Hitlers.

" When General Roda dismissed the meeting, he settled Shy and her son to a decent place to live in during the war against Germany and France.
That day, he didn't have the time to talk to Shy and tell him who he was.

"Please, Jewish woman have peace in mind" you and your son are safe within my colony one of this day, I will come to visit you and tell you who I am"!
We are in the middle of the sea where no one can reach you but me and my people!" Everything you need will be provided including your son" you have to understand and be strong woman for tomorrow what may would bring us in this battle, with this nonsense Hitlers that ruined the world."!
