"If you find yourself in an utterly hopeless situation, swallow this." He handed the pellet to the nervous young man. "Cyanide," Richter said. "Tie it up in a knot in your handkerchief.
In a few instances I learned the details of the Nazis' inexorable determination and their inhuman indifference to the lives of even their own agents. Arno Oertel, alias Harald Half, was a thin, white-faced spy trained in two Gestapo schools for Fifth Column work.
On his clerical recommendation, he got German "emigré" women into England as house servants for British government officials and army officers. The far-flung Gestapo network in Czechoslovakia concentrated much of its activities along the former German-Czech border.
When the Austrian police quelled them, the provocations enabled Germany to protest that German citizens were being attacked and mistreated. The activities of Standarte II, directed by the Gestapo, continued with increasing intensity until the unfortunate country was absorbed.
"When do we get going?" "It will take a day or so. He's no small fry either, he's a non-commissioned officer with some authority. He thinks the Gestapo is about to pick him off for not being tough enough." "It sounds a bit too easy to me," Stan said. "But I'd take any sort of chance to get back into action." "Tomorrow I'll let you know if you can go along," Sim promised.
Sector No. 4 also directs Standarte II which stands ready to provide incidents to justify German invasion "because the situation has got out of control of the local authorities."

They were deep in the heart of Germany and soon would be in a closely guarded prison camp. "They're takin' us to another prison in a few minutes. The guard says we get to eat before we're locked up again. We have to be questioned by the Gestapo." O'Malley leered angrily.
After his graduation Oertel had been given minor practical training in politically disruptive work in anti-fascist organizations across the Czech border where he had posed as a German emigré. There he had shown such aptitude that his Gestapo chief at sector headquarters in Dresden, Herr Geissler, sent him to Czechoslovakia on a special mission. Oertel hesitated.
The propaganda and espionage center of the Henlein group was in the headquarters of the Sudeten Deutsche Partei at 4 Hybernska St. A secondary headquarters, in the Deutscher Hilfsverein at 7 Nekazanka St., was directed by Emil Wallner, who was ostensibly representing the Leipzig Fair but was actually the chief of the Gestapo machine in Prague.
