THE GREEN KING (part 7)
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
The Photographer
from Salzburg
The King said
that he opened his eyes and saw a soldier appear. He didn’t recognize the
uniform, which wasn’t that of the SS, or the Volkssturm. It didn’t resemble
those of the Rumanian, Italian, or French contingents that had fought alongside
the Wehrmacht in the last few years. And it certainly wasn’t a Russian. He had
seen Russians, either prisoners or shot by Oberstrum bannfuhrer Hochreiner,
always looking to improve his personal score of men, women, or children shot in
the back of the head. On May 4, 1945, the by Oberstrum bannfuhrer Hochreiner
was up to two hundred and eighty-three shot in the head, and an apparent
sadness had shown on his face when he had announced to Reb Klimrod that, he,
Reb, would be his two hundred and eighty-fourth recorded victim, whatever
regret that might cause either of them after having lived together, so
tenderly, for the last twenty months.
The King said
he had actually regained consciousness a few moments before he saw the soldier
arrive. He doesn’t know how long before.
It was a slow, progressive awakening, marked at first by the extraordinary
discovery that he ws still alive. Then followed, in successive steps towards
full consciousness, first, the last precise moment recorded by his memory, that
of the Oberstrum bannfuhrer kissing him one last time full on the mouth before
placing the barrel of the Lunger against his neck, then still-unclear
revelation that he was buried alive, he face almost free, covered only by a
thin layer of earth.
