GABRIEL KRAFFT AUDIO MEMOIR #9

Transcript:
Krafft: Professor Gabriel Krafft, entry nine. During our journey to Stalingrad, one particular concern hung over me.
Krafft: If, as I suspected, Von List’s mission was not authorized, the Nazi High Command might brand us deserters.
Krafft: If so, any prisoners kept by Die Wahrheit would likely be transferred to the camps, or simply executed.
Krafft: I was frightened of the strange new light in Von List’s eyes, but for the sake of my Sasha I kept demanding to know what would happen to my spouse.
Krafft: Of course he did not want to hear it. But Sasha was how he maintained leverage over me. And he still needed my expertise.
Krafft: When the last Die Wahrheit unit arrived in Stalingrad, they brought with them a letter from Sasha. Von List had requested it to, ah, “shut me up.”
Krafft: It was the glimmer of hope I needed. It was... carefully worded. There was little warmth, no in-jokes or personal references.
Krafft: But Sasha was alive and relatively safe. That was all I needed to continue my work.
