T.U.F.F. Savior
Aprill 11th, 1945.
The United States are liberating the death camp Buchenwald, 2 M24 Chaffees and four squadrons of infantry are preparing to breach the front gates of the camp. *Inside the perimeter* 2 Nazi soldiers standing beside the gates that are about to be breached, one's extremely paranoid while the other is listening for something.
(Translated from German to English.)
"What are we going to do!?" exclaimed the paranoid one.
"Pipe down and calm yourself! We'll stand our ground and fight back these Americans. Understood!?" ordered the officer.
"Yes sir!" replied the footsoldier.
The officer then laid his ear on the gates "I swear I hear a tank.." he said. Then seconds later the gates came crashing down on them! Alerting all of the other guards and soldiers inside the perimeter. Explosive shells and rounds were sent everywhere killing most of the Nazis trying to fight back. The M24's rolled on in with two squads backing them with covering fire. The infantry were taking down the guards who had anti-tank weapons and sniper rifles while the Chaffees were taking out buildings and large groupings of soldiers. One of the Nazi commanders was hiding behind crates with some of his men and radioed in for backup. "Yes sir commander! Sending reinforcement troops to the front gates!" replied the unknown dispatcher. The commander took out his pistol and leaned over the crates he was hiding behind only to have his head blown-off by a sniper! His lifeless body fell back behind the crates. Another soldier sitting right next to him yanked over the phone and yelled into it "Mayday Mayday we need help!", he then noticed that the wire was cut making the radio useless. After seconds of silence two American soldiers hopped over the crates and started blasting holes into them.
More soldiers were rushing through the gates and stopping infront of their commanding officers for instructions. A sergeant started barking orders to go find any surviving prisoners or guards. The soldiers replied with "Yes sir!" and ran-off looking for prisoners/guards. A soldier was walking around in some building and heard faint sobbing. He clicked on his flashlight and started rushing toward the sobs. "Oh man I really want to go home!" He thought. "Aw the stench in here too, I really wish the war would just end already. I'm tired of seeing all this death and destruction." You're probably wondering who this soldier is. Well this soldier's not just one of those random un-named extras, no, his name was Corporal Dudley Puppy from the 3rd Army. He found the source of the sobbing in a pitch-black room, the only source of light was a few dusty windows and holes in the wall. There on the floor was a skinny to-the-bone tan cat, she was crying over some tar-covered object Dudley couldn't make out. In poor German he called out: "Sind Sie in Ordnung? Ich kann Ihnen helfen." (Are you alright? I can help you.) The cat turned around scared, looked at the Corporal and weakly made her way over to him, and embraced him. She was crying and Dudley had no idea what to do, he just made the dicision to carry her outside.
Once Dudley got her outside he yelled "Medic! Medic! I've got one!", a minute later a medic arrived to analyze the cat's wounds. They discovered that she was suffering from starvation, bone-loss, minor beatings, and dehydration. They gave her rations, their supplies of emergency food, and personal canteens. Even though she was really weak she said "Danke für die Hilfe"(Thank you for the help.) and was resting in Dudley's arms. Corporal Puppy had no idea what to do so he got up with the cat and walked over to his commanding officer. "So Chief what do I do with her?" asked the confused Corporal. " Well Corporal, just try to comfort her and get her back on her feet. Just chat and I don't know befriend her or something?" replied the officer. "Okay." Dudley said walking over to a gate and setting the cat down. He then slumped down beside her and wondered what to do. "Alright the Chief wants me to befriend her and make her feel comfortable. So I'll just introduce myself? Good idea!" He thought, Dudley looked over to her and asked "Hi miss, do you speak English?" She woke up and replied with "Yes I speak English" (A.N. This is where the 120 dialects thing comes in) "Okay then this'll be easier than I thought." said Dudley. "Alright so my name is Dudley Puppy, I'm from the city Petropolis in California, and your name is?" "I'm Kitty Katswell, I used to live in Ettersburg, it's around here but.." she started to get sore and her eyes were watering. "Aw Kitty it's okay, don't cry. Is there anything I could do for you?" He said. Kitty looked up and said "Well *sniff* can I have a blanket and maybe a pillow?" "Affirmative" replied Dudley, though he didn't have either of those he just took-off his jacket and gave it to Kitty and went looking for a pillow or atleast materials to make one.
He walked into a destroyed building and found a pillow case, some feathers, cotton, and rags. He stuffed the materials into the case and walked back over to Kitty. Dudley rested the make-shift pillow under her head and she replied "Thank you Dudley" and started to drift into sleep. The Corporal walked back over to "The Chief" and asked for further instructions. "Alright Chief, what now? I comforted her and now what?" "Well Corporal Puppy... I just got word that we either take the prisoners with us back to Britain or any other Allied country, or they could just stay here in Germany. If I were them I'd move out of here cause the Soviets are not very friendly to the Germans." "Okay Chief I'll tell her." Kitty woke up and noticed that Dudley wasn't right next to her, she got nervous and scared until she saw him walk back to her which caused her to smile. "Okay Kitty" Dudley sat down next to her,"My comanding officer told me to tell you that we can take you back to Britain or any Allied country, or you could stay here in Germany." She thought about it, she didn't want to stay here because of the memories present and the fear of the Russians, and she wanted to stay with Dudley since he saved her from the camp."I'd like to go with the first option Dudley." decided Kitty "Alright! I'll go inform the Chief." He walked back over to "The Chief" and informed him "Chief, she said that she'd like to move out of here." "Alright Corporal, also, your squad has been repositioned to escort the prisoners out of here. And where did she say she wanted to go?" "I don't know Chief." "Well then go ask her." Dudley walked back and asked "So Kitty, where did you say you wanted to go?" "Well...where did you say you lived?" replied Kitty "I'm from Petropolis in California." "Then I'd like to live there Dudley." said Kitty. Dudley smiled and walked back over to the Chief and said "She wants to move to Petropolis California sir." "Okay Corporal, we leave in about 2 hours so pack up and get ready to move out!".
Dudley was just sitting around next to Kitty, he was extremely bored due to the lack of anything going on. "So Kitty, how old are you? I'm 19?" Asked Dudley, trying to get a conversation going. This stunned her, she couldn't believe that Dudley was only 19 years old and doing all of this. "Wow Dudley, you're only 19?" replied Kitty "Yeah, it's been about a year since I finished up basic training, and only a few months since I got shipped over here." "Well I'm 23 going on 24 in about 2 months" said Kitty, "Wow you're old." teased Dudley. This didn't bother her at all, she just couldn't believe he was only 19 years old. "Dudley when are we leaving here?" asked Kitty "In about an hour." answered Dudley."Where are we going?" "Well we'll be making stops at train stations on the way to Britain. Then after we get to Britain we'll be briefed on what to do next." Kitty was worried that she might get seperated from Dudley, you see, she has a crush on him and wants to be with him. After a while Dudley's squad and the surviving prisoners got into jeeps and made there way back to Britain, which took them about 2-3 days, hopping from country-to-country, station-to-station until they got back to Britain.
