The Son

by Elly194

The day after the first world war ended was when Germnay adopted a baby named Israel as his son and came to love him as his own, to his brother's chagrin. The boy grows up as a Jew, but the time of the Holocaust is approching. Can Germnay proetct his son or will he be one of the Six Million? Whose side is Prussia on? And who is Israel's actual father that left him on the doorstep?

38. The Surrender

"Germany?"

Germany, curled up in the corner of his bombed out house with his knees hugged to his chest, not seeing or hearing anything, hair a mess and uniform torn up, didn't anserr but glanced up at the Austrian.

"The Allies are coming," said Austria.

"Good," said Germany. Austria then took a deep breath and said, "the Fuhrer is dead."

"Even better," said Germany, his voice dark and nearly empty, as if he had lost the ability to feel or care about what was going on.

"He killed himself," said Austria, biting his lip.

"Coward!" spat Germany, "not even willing to stand up for his crimes. What about Prussia, where is he?"

"I don't know, he went East, might have met up with the Russians by now…"

"Good…Good…" muttered the German, wiping tears from his eyes and then asking, "and Italy?"

"He surrendered to the allies."

"Naturally but I cant blame him, may very well be the smartest thing ever," muttered Germany then he hid his face in his knees and said, "I deserve this…this is my fault…"

Austria knelt in front of Germany and firmly declared, "Hitler did this, Germany, not you."

"He wouldn't have been able to," said Germany, "if it wasn't for me…I shouldn't have given him power…I should have stood up to him…"

"You did what you could," said Austria.

"And now Israel is gone," said Germany, "I don't even know where he is, or oif he's even…"

"He'll be fine, you'll be fine," said Austria.

"If he hates me for this I wont blame him."

"You're his father, Germany, he wont hate you, Aviel doesn't hate."

"No, he's just hated," said Germany and Austria opened his mouth to say something else but at that moment there was an explosion. Austria winced as Germany stood up as America., England, France and Russia burst in, aiming guns at the two German nations.

"Freeze! The war is over, you're under arrest!" shouted America. Austria froze and hung his had in resignation.

Germany raised his hand above his hands and dropped to his knees before the allies.

"I surrender," he said, then he looked desperately up at America, his eyes filled with tears as he begged to know, "where's my son?"

The Allies lowered their guns and looked at one another and Germany felt ready to shoot himself when he saw the sad and empathetic looks they exchanged.

"Come with us, Germany," said America, "hurry."
