When Andy finally got a cab the people who were following him got out the car and tried to stop him from leaving they yelled police stop and Andy told the taxi driver to step on it.

“Scorched Earth” then brings the focus to the summer of 1943 and the repeated hammer attacks by the enemy and how Germany was only barely standing at this point and its allies off in the distance. Chapter eight mentions how German leadership saw defeat as unavoidable but their last move was to keep the war going long enough for the Allied coalition to break and give Germany some negotiation power once more. This is when, in early 1943, the Final Solution was decided upon and Hitler chose to further radicalize the war and put the blame again on the Jews and seal their fate. Fritz discusses in detail the measures that Hitler put in place to remove as many Jews as possible and then some, one ironically including importing Hungarian Jews to work in the concentration camps to build the underground factories that would kill their fellow Jews once their work was finished. Fritz then discusses the “forgotten year” from fall of 1943 to summer of 1944 when there was a series of “debilitation German retreats and equally inglorious Soviet victories bought at horrendous cost” (365). Fritz turns to the meat of the problem then, the retreating Germans in their retreat left only burning cities and followed the “scorched earth” military procedure to ensure that the Soviets on their heels would have nothing to survive off of either. However, since the German army didn’t have the manpower to strip the land bare they often left more goods than they took with them and their mentality shifted

Question began to boil up inside his brain, who is she, where did she come from, how did she get in, why is she here? As he sat blankly in his pajamas he heard a massive crash in the kitchen. He sprung up and bolted to the kitchen seeing this tiny, wild red headed girl wrangling her pet parrot. “What are you doing in my house?” he calmly asked the dumbfounded girl. She sat up and patted her skirt to rid it of the dust, she stuck out a hand, “I’m Cecilia, I just moved next door from Scotland and my bird got out of his cage.” The words hit Jacob like a train hitting a standing car on the tracks, he couldn’t hear her continue to talk all he was feeling was panick. Without a second thought he turned and sprinted to his room, locking it from the

She had been dressed in a white dress, trimmed with the fur of the rare white fox. She wore a banded tiara encrusted with diamonds and a large sapphire that complemented her eyes. Around her neck, she wore a necklace of sapphires to match her tiara. Her brown hair had been half pulled up and threaded about the circlet around her head, creating a lovely cascade of loose curls and waves over her shoulders. However, despite all this finery, Susanna fought like a cornered rat, scrambling to get away as the guard’s held fast to her arms. They had to force her into the gilded prison on wheels and locked the door behind her, beckoning the driver to move swiftly as Susanna struggled to escape her impending fate. She didn’t want this! She couldn’t have been meant for this! It was then her gaze darkened as her panicked struggles turned inward, turned to a glowering stare as she contemplated escape. She began to go through every possibility in search of a way to get away from this arrangement, from this unwanted
