Author's note: I realize this story has shorter chapters than my other, but 1) these are coded reports, and 2) I'm writing them faster. While I won't commit to one chapter a week, as that would be begging Murphy to interfere, I think I can promise that there won't be month long gaps between posts.

Thanks as always to Suzanne of Dragon's Breath for the beta and to everyone who took the time to review.

Day six:

I have spent the past few days befriending some of the other prisoners in hopes that they will share some of the information I have been sent here to find, and I believe I am making progress. While the questioning of my veracity as a prisoner has not ceased, at least they are no longer shouting random commands in German to see if I react.

I have completed my search of barracks nine, but I have found nothing that ties Hogan or any of the other prisoners to the underground. If anything, the barracks seems a bit too clean. Not only are there no tunnels, but there are no indications of past tunnels, tools used to make tunnels, or even improvised weapons or wire cutters.

My next goal is to search barracks two, but I have no idea of when or how I will be able to make the attempt, and being caught in there would certainly ruin my cover.

I have come to the conclusion that my initial opinion of Wilhelm Klink's capabilities was entirely too generous. The man would have to work to be called a moron, and I cannot imagine how he attained his present rank. My recommendation is to have the individual responsible for his promotion shot for treason against the Third Reich.

If I fail to find a connection between Klink and the underground, or for that matter, any crime, I believe that steps should be taken to monitor what he says to prisoners. Twice during my stay here, he nearly divulged sensitive military information to an assembly of prisoners. There are probably grounds for an execution in what he did say.

One theory for his success despite his rampant stupidity has been for some time now that someone is working through him. I believe this to be the case, but am unsure as to the identity of the manipulator.

One possibility is his adjutant, Captain Karl Hauptman. It is a logical assumption, as the man has access to all of Klink's records and is in a position where he can give orders with the kommandant's authority. I have not met him, so I am not in a position to personally judge his character, but it do not feel that he is responsible for Stalag 13's perfect record. One major reason for this is that he has only been stationed here for a few months, and I believe that a series of adjutants actually running the camp to be a bit improbable. There are other reasons as well, but it is unnecessary to go in to each.

Another person in a position to take advantage of the colonel's stupidity is his secretary Hilda. She is a rather attractive woman, and as such, she would have no difficulty getting any information she wanted out of anyone in camp, prisoner or guard. She also has access to sensitive information and is in a position to take full advantage of that fact. I cannot reject the possibility of her involvement.

The Sergeant of the Guard, one Hans Shultz, is another possibility. He was stationed at Stalag 13 even before Klink was, and he often takes many of the responsibilities of adjutant when the camp is without one. Like Hauptman, I have only seen him in passing, so I have no personal experience to draw on, but he is a distinct possibility.

There is one other possibility, though few choose to raise it: Colonel Robert E. Hogan, United States Army Air Corps. Although at first this seems improbable, as the man is a prisoner, on further examination it seems reasonable, even logical. He arrived at the camp at about the same time as Klink, it would go a long way towards explaining his attitude toward the colonel during the welcome speech I endured, and who would suspect a prisoner. I am unable to see how he benefits from this arrangement if not to escape, but I feel that he is the most likely to be the manipulator. I will have to investigate this further.
