Epilogue
.
And so, Oskar Danzig´s request meant that the puzzle Hogan and his men were trying to solve was turned right upside down again. Put away until the war is over.
They have learned quite a bit in the process. They even got some idea of the entire picture of the puzzle "Corporal Karl Johann Langenscheidt" – especially with the hints they got from Little Red Ridinghood and her Uncle Rutger that night.
But at the time when they were told to scramble all the pieces again, there were still quite some pieces missing. Pieces – details they still don´t understand.
But perhaps it´s better that way. Safer.
For Oskar Danzig´s organization.
For Corporal Langenscheidt.
And for themselves.
For – as Uncle Rutger (Oskar Danzig?) put it:
"Some secrets are best kept a secret.
At least until the war is over."
The End
--------------------------------
Author´s Note:
Frustrated that the mystery wasn´t really solved?
Well, at least you guys got what you asked for: Hogan did investigate our love-struck little corporal. And even though Hogan was told to back off, that doesn´t mean you have to back off as well.
For by reading some of my other stories, you might be able to figure out what kind of hornet´s nest Hogan was stirring up here. I just didn´t want him to find out the truth just yet.
.
And after all, by now fortunately the war is over.
And it has been for over sixty years.
So I don´t think Oskar Danzig would object to people finding out the truth about Langenscheidt anymore. :-)
