Records were deliberately erased. All evidence, discredited. And the existence of the Alpenfestung,
the Third Reich´s national redoubt in the Bavarian Alps — where gold
and secret weapons were stored —denied and its defense entrusted to
elite troops. The general consensus had it that this was World War II´s
best hoax; another trick of Joseph Goebbels. All through the years, they
acquiesced the conspiracy theorists would hatch their fables. The
truth, however, was quite different. In April 1945, the fortress was
found by a Russian patrol. Streaks of blood stained the rugged
topography. They encountered unthinkable horrors and nights filled with
cries, shots, tears, and macabre laughter. Their pleas for aid, tanks,
artillery and troops exhausted the radio waves for the ferocity of the Waffen Grenadier Division der SS Rumänische led by the SS-Standartenführer
from Transylvania was overwhelming. And by all accounts immune to
bullets, swords, and bayonets unless the wound was made right into their
heart or were decapitated. Thus, we, the attackers desisted and
retreated amidst our many dead, victims of fatal bites. Meanwhile, in
the nearby village, we tortured anyone not willing to provide us with
information. Finally, a shepherd confessed we were facing a band of
fanatical volunteers turned recently into vampires as a result of
experiments led by Dr. Mengele himself who administered them their
commander´s bite and made them insatiable monsters. Shipments of Jews,
gypsies and prisoners of war served as sustenance. When a comrade from
Wallachia gave us a remedy, the chaplain proceeded to turn the contents
of all deposits and canteens into holy water. Next, he sanctified steel
and ammunition and, in a hurry, forged crucifixes and other pious
symbols. The assault was brutal. The orders were to take as many
prisoners as possible. Ever since, I have been in command of a phantom
division of the Red Army which has been ignored by all the organization
charts. And because our own scientists conducted an abundance of
experiments, we have been waiting now for over forty years, ready to
extinguish this decadent capitalism, anxious to fill ourselves with
their bourgeois blood.
