Hochstetter leaped from the car and jabbed a finger at the bedraggled, coughing people. "These are the fugitives! As of now they are property of the Gestapo!"
Hogan said, "They're not going to come with you willingly, and you don't have enough men to guard them."
Hochstetter turned to Klink. "Was tut dieser Mann hier!"
Klink said, "Calm down, Herr Sturmbannführer. We found these people and we will guard them for you. I am always happy to cooperate with the Gestapo."
"You're a happy so-and-so, that is certain." Hochstetter turned to his three men. "Let's get these items tallied."
Everyone sweated under the hot hazy sun as Hochstetter's crew took personal information. Finally Hochstetter faced Klink again.
"If one prisoner escapes, your head will roll. All heads will roll! And if I catch the man who imitated Hitler, I'll skin him alive!"
Carter, standing by Barracke 2 about thirty feet away, covered his mouth as if to stifle a giggle.
