Piglet the SS-Gruppenführer

April 30th, 1945

Piglet is sitting next to the Fuhrer. He looks over at Adolf. He says, "Please don't do this, we still have time to win the fight for Berlin." Adolf looks at piglet with a small tear in his eye and says, "Piglet, I'm very devastated to say this, but it's all over now. The Third Reich has come to an end." Piglet looks away crying immesnly now, not being able to take the pain. Adolf pulls the trigger. Piglet knows it's all over and he will surely die for his war crimes. Adolf's wife, Eva, has been dead from the cyanide pills for awhile now. Piglet sits for a moment, trying to gather thoughts and ideas on what to do. Surely there has to be a way out of Berlin, to escape my war crimes, he thought to himself. Piglet's mind then gets struck with a powerful idea. "The Operation!" Piglet runs over to the documents room of the chancellor bunker. He pulls out a document titled, "OPERATION ODESSA, HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL". Piglet opens up the document. He copies down all the secret Nazi spy network information into his notes. He has a way to escape to South America, out of the way of the Americans and Soviets. Piglet realizes it won't be safe in the chancellor bunker from here on out. Piglet runs outside. Huh, quiet. Too quiet he thought to himself. It seems as if the fighting was taking place elsewhere in Berlin. Piglet goes into hiding. He only hopes the coming days serve him well.

May 2nc, 1945

Piglet sees the incoming Soviet panzers and American panzers. He realizes that this is his moment. Piglet has to make a move now. He goes down a back ally, saying to himself, "If I stay, the Soviet's will shoot me on site, and surely the Americans will hang me for my war crimes. South America does sound nice." Piglet contacts the first contact from the ODESSA folder. He uses a radio to communicate. "Hello?" Piglet says through the radio. There is only static. But then, a voice trickles through. "Hello? Yes! This is Zelig the Wehrmacht! I'm so glad I found you. May I ask, who are you?" Piglet hesitates to answer. But piglet eventually gives in. "Piglet the SS-Gruppenfuhrer, sir." Zelig answers back. "Yes! Good to meet you sir! I am leading a band of Nazi officials trying to escape the city. The Soviets have already taken over. Meet me at the Tempelhof Airport! The Soviets have not reached there yet, and we are flying out of Germany and eventually reaching South America! Are you with us?" Piglet replies, "Yes. I am."
