Before I begin, this is going to be an incredibly dystopian timeline. All feedback/comments/suggestions are welcome, indeed I would be delighted to hear from anyone about it. Without any further ado, here is the introduction..


1st August, 1941, Poland.

The dead of the night brought an eerie silence to the air of which Adrian and Bartok were taking advantage of. They were dealing with the situation showing a combination of both speed and diligence. They placed the explosives under the railway sleepers, hiding the fuse under grass and rocks, pulling it back until it reached the woods. Once it got that far back, all they had to do was wait. Although unscheduled, it had been passed on that a train, obviously carrying several important German officials on board was coming, having been spotted leaving Danzig an hour earlier.
 
Bartok broke out the vodka “Here’s to the end of these German fuckers!” Much to the annoyance of Bartok, Adrian refused the offer, merely replying coldly “I know.”
 
Adrian did everything coldly. Since his family were killed by the Germans in the Ghetto, he had vowed escape and kill as many of the Nazis as possible. He had achieved his first goal, tonight he was determined to achieve his second. Hatred was all he had left to live for, it encompassed every pore of his being, every thought in his brain.
 
Whatever happened, he was determined that tonight, he would not fail. Vengeance would be his.

Johanna Wolf was excited about the trip east. She sat in the carriage with blacked out windows listening to Walter Hewel regaling Gerta Schroeder with his tales of the Rhineland, but her mind was on what awaited them when they reached their final destination, which had not been released to them as yet.
 
It was clearly important however as aside from the Fuhrer, Bormann and Himmler, there were a number of military officers present for this train-ride east. Deciding that she wanted no more of the chitter-chatter which had infected the train as a result of this and seeing as she was not on duty, she decided to retire to her room. As she lay down and opened a copy of Gone with the Wind, an almighty bang shook the train and within seconds rendering her unconscious.
 
Further on in the train, there was a scene of carnage. Hitler had been in deep conversation with Himmler about the situation at the front when the train was ripped off of the tracks. The jolt when it had happened had caused him to violently his head against a table which he was standing near. His face, gushing with blood caused fear. He was, however still breathing.
 
Himmler, standing at the other side of the table was killed outright as he hit the wall with such force and in such a manner that he broke his neck. Miraculously, Professor Morrell, who was walking to the compartment somehow managed to survive the de-railing unscathed. He set to work within minutes with what rags he could muster being used as temporary bandages, to stop the bleeding. The Fuhrer was seriously damaged, but had, it seemed survived.

*************************************************

The de-railing of the train had gone perfectly. Bartok quickly made the gesture that they should move when a hail of bullets started flying at them from the general direction of the train started flying in their direction. They must have been spotted. Adrian, hit in the left leg by one of the flying pieces of lead, shouted for Bartok to run. With the one weapon he still had, the MP40 he had taken from the guard he had killed when escaping the Ghetto, he began to fire back.
 
The fight was destined to fail. The few guards of Hitlers personal bodyguard began to move uncomfortably close. Adrian, fearing he was down to but a few bullets, realised that there was only one option left. He put the barrel of the gun into his mouth and pulled the trigger. The pains of this world were beyond him now.
