“He interrogated him.”
“What rank was he?”
“A private, he thinks. The man was the driver of the truck that hit the mine. He was wounded.”
“Is he sure that there was no other prisoner?”
“Yes.”
“Tell him we have information that there were two men in that first truck who did not return and whose bodies were not found by the German party that came on the scene later. One was the driver of the truck, whom he says he interrogated. The other was the Sergeant in charge of the detachment. We want to know what happened to the Sergeant.”
Phengaros began gesturing emphatically as he talked.
“He says that he was not there, but that if there had been a German sergeant alive his men would certainly have taken him prisoner for questioning. A sergeant would have more information to give than a driver.”
“What happened to the driver?”
“He died.”
