If he was still alive, I'd say it was Schultz as this is totally his style to have a criminal like this in his back pocket, although Schultz would have had him under far better control and leaving far fewer traces.Ok we had von Papen but I wonder who that guy is. If he gets found out most likely he will suffer the fate he promised Mr Arbusto
George Bush’s contact in the German Government had not appreciated him pointing out the history of this region when it had been controlled by the Spartans when they had visited.
His German contact had implied that any betrayal on his part would involve a great deal of pain and screaming. He would beg them to kill him before the end came. The Greeks and the Turks had both said the same thing, none of them seemed like the type to bluff over such matters.
The war was filling his coffers and he was moving the money out of Greece through several cutouts into Swiss accounts. That was why he had needed the German contact. As much as the Swiss proclaimed their neutrality in international affairs, Bush was all too aware of how the thrice cursed German BND and the League of Nations had an annoying habit of interfering with his business inside Switzerland. Finding someone above reproach who had the authority to tell the BND and the LON Investigators to piss off had been a challenge. He found it, but he still had no idea what their motivation was, which was hardly out of the ordinary in this business. It still bothered him though.
The Special Forces Teams that he oversaw had a more pessimistic view of the weather. If they had to be out in it, then it would either be bitterly cold or blistering hot, with nothing in between. The strange part was that the operational tempo that they had endured and the locations that they had been sent had seen to that being the reality. The odd exception had been Laupheim, where the weather might have been halfway decent most of the time as it had been autumn in Germany, but the company had left a lot to be desired… With one notable exception. Italy hadn’t been too bad except the operation had turned to shit.
a new member had been added to the team from an outfit that few had heard of that was based out of an Army Camp on the Oregon Coast that was unpronounceable. The shit had hit the fan a few days before Parker had gotten out of there.
After the Chemical and Thermobaric attacks on Japan, swap Thermonuclear war for Chemical and Biological warfare and you could still do it.

Possibly Gehlen or Augsburg (though Augsburg would be getting old and ill by this point, died in 1968) or Walther Rauff or Hans Wilhelm Eggen. All intelligence services do this, the only people with insight into the criminal underworld are in fact criminals. Who'd a thought?Ok we had von Papen but I wonder who that guy is. If he gets found out most likely he will suffer the fate he promised Mr Arbusto
First words on the moon:
Ahhhh... fuck I slipped!
OMFG too funnyNo first words on the moon should be, "Oh my god... What is that thing" and then cut the mike
To the pain . . .No first words on the moon should be, "Oh my god... What is that thing" and then cut the mike
Even so, there was serious business to consider. Marcella von Holz and Yuri Kozlov had arrived in Cam Ranh Bay and they had been told by Kapitän von Richthofen that the two Video Journalists were to be given their full cooperation. Gagarin and Leonov were a bit perturbed over having Kozlov around. How did a boy with a name like that, who spoke Russian badly with a German accent come to be in their presence? It seemed that there was some history there regarding a substantial group of Russian expats who had never gone back to Russia after being Prisoners of War, whose return was unwelcome. Supposedly, Yuri Kozlov was the son of one of them. Hartmann and Pierre didn’t really care and had been standoffish regarding the matter.
The plan was for the First Officer to stay with the Command Module while the other four went to the surface. Gagarin had no stake in being the first man on the Moon and was fine with that. Before the Russian Space Program had joined forces with the ESA, both Gagarin and Leonov made it into orbit, so their place in history was already assured. It had been the mission that Leonov had been on that had changed how both the Russian and European Space Agencies did things. He had landed in Siberia hundreds of kilometers off course and the locator beacon on the capsule had failed. Fortunately, it had been during the summer, but it had still taken few days for rescuers to find the capsule and there had been an encounter with a bear. Leonov had insisted that future missions be better equipped for survival if he was to be involved in future missions. His Co-Pilot had quit and had become a pastry chef according to Leonov. Sigi thought that he was pulling her leg with that last part.
That was awesome with the double meaning when Sigi drew the Queen of Hearts.
If the Ritchie v LAPD thing goes down like a certain other "Police mess with a Special Forces guy" story, I'm hoping it goes more like the book than the movies.
Movies are fine, I just thing the book is a better story.
