Another interesting post in your story. I enjoyed how they all ended up in the discussion that started with only two people. You did a nice job slipping the history into their dialogue.
You leave us wondering who is at the door. Well done!

I know a tiny bit of German, enough to know that 'drei' is three. I believe that this will be an educational read for me, in addition to being an entertaining one. My history studies in school left a lot to be desired. Here, I learned about the Soviet invasion of Berlin. I suppose you must have to study the period to get accurate details? Of course you're a teacher - do you teach history?
Anyway, I am enjoying the story in all it's aspects,
Carol

Whatever happened to Hitler was definitely nowhere near what should have happened to him. Thanks for sharing another fine chapter. Great job. :-)

    I am wondering how much I can embellish history and still keep it realistic. LOL So far I have stayed historically correct, Thank you.

    LOL! Embellish on, my dear, I'm sure there hasn't been a true story ever written that wasn't fudged on just a little. :-)

Hi Barb, this is the account I've heard about Hitler, but I don't remember the part about the dog. Not surprising though. Wonderful dialogue and story.

Really fascinating. I love the historical details you've brought into this. I've heard of Nazi art theft, but you bring in an interesting angle that the Russians may have stolen the artwork in Shana's family. Funny detail about everyone listening in and getting involved in Shana's story about her efforts to gain possession of the artwork taken from her great, great grandfather. Excellent work. judi

Your writing is flawless.
This chapter moves along smoothly with great dialogue and backstory.
A touch of anticipation at the end and full of suspense.
Very nice.

I read to day about an old Holocaust survivor who has been given back a stolen painting taken by the Germans. Your history is right on. Very interesting. Keep it rolling

Again, you supplied this reader with entertainment and a theory of the death of Hitler, which varies from time to time, depending on the reading. I enjoy you continuous mystery and look forward to a future installment.

Another excellent chapter, Barbara, with an authentic feeling about the historicity of it.

A few suggestions:

"He and Eva Braun, his wife all of about one day [You need a closing comma after "wife."]

how Russia got possession of your family's panting." [... your family's PAINTING ...]

Moments later, she returned with the satchel [I'm really surprised she left it in the other room!]

There are a few theories as to what really happened to Hitler. This seems to be the most common theory. [This last sentence should be either in the author notes or be asterisked and Italicized. (The corresponding asterisk should be what, in the text, this refers to.)

    Thank you. I have made the corrections. I am wondering in the first suggestion if I don't need a comma after day.
reply by Jay Squires on 11-Dec-2016
    You are right about the comma after "day."
