that there were not even partisans here. They settled somewhere in the forest on the opposite side of the village, but not here. This place was a wicked place, and even they could not be here. But he didn't care. The main thing was that he was safe and could reach the commandant's office without fear of being caught as a traitor.

The toad was from the local and was a complete scum, almost from birth. Since childhood, he was distinguished by its licentiousness and cruelty. The toad was still devoid of any kind of conscience and honor as such. It was just a typical scum that was full everywhere. And his way was if it were not for the war only in prison. He was also a thief and a speculator. As it was not covered in time by the district GPU, it is also not clear. Overlooked.

When the war began, he managed to escape the call. And now he has sold his homeland for German Ausweis and German marks. And he was ready to slap his own mother for these marks or anyone else if commander Günther Kogel orders. Gunther Kogel was the commander of Major Siegfried Walter standing along with the SS Panzer Division, his motorized infantry regiment, just in Snejnice. So called the Belarusian occupied by the Germans filled with tanks and infantry

second war year village. Fortunately, the mother of Yerofey Lesyuk, was so called in life and according to the documents, Toad, did not live to see the moment when her own son was a mischief-maker, would become a traitor to his people and homeland. She died before the outbreak of war and was buried in the village cemetery.

Toad had associates now in arms. Policemen Whip, Dryka and Pimple. Same to match the Toad scum and the shortages and traitors of the motherland. Each of them had their own fate.

One dumped from the Soviet Army in the environment and wandered through the forests until he taxied to Sněžnice and got accustomed, here he became acquainted with the Toad. His name was Yegor Miroshnikov according to the documents, and now the Whip.

The whip was central to their detachment of village policemen and was subordinate to the local military commander's office now and to the commander-in-chief Günther Kogel himself and his personal adjutant, Haupshtunbänführer Ergin Waltraub. He had some military experience already in combat, and Kogel was put behind the chief over the policemen.

The second sidekick of Toad was nicknamed Dryk. Also a fugitive surrounded by soldiers and soldiers. With a dark unknown past. The most muddy type of all in their squad "In the service of the Wehrmacht." No one knew anything about him. Even the policemen themselves, therefore, did not trust him very much. Although he was subordinate to the Whip, and the Whip drove him through all the holes and holes, always running errands. Than Dryk was always unhappy. But, often he was alone, by himself and when there was an opportunity to deviate from the service, he disappeared somewhere from the village and secretly, but nobody knew about it on his own, probably, happiness.

The third was a policeman nicknamed Pimple. The frank criminal with whom Toad most of all contacted and robbed the villagers, if possible. A quick snake from a bombed out of a piece of iron far from here by train German planes. The prison convoy carrying convicts to the east. He ran for a long time, also through the forests, and he chose out to the village and hid in the attics of an abandoned rural house. He led a friendship with a certain Lubava Dronina, a lady of easy virtue in the village, a widow, and she helped him live to the start of the war and the arrival of the Germans in the village. Here, the pimples spread their wings, and he began to live a family life with this Lyubava in the house he had taken away from the local village Varvara Semina, at which time her husband was at the front. Mothers with several small children. Kicked them into the impudent under the barrel of a rifle into the street. Benefit Semina and her young children were sheltered by neighbors her friend, the villager Pelageya Zimina, who also had children. She would have frozen in the very first year of the war with them right there in the village in the fierce winter.

And here is the best chum Pimple policeman Toad ran along the shore of the swamp and the outskirts in the darkness of the forest. Glistening in the thick early dusk with the soles of the soldiers' boots wet in the mud and marsh grass. Flickering among pines interspersed with birch, a black police coat and a black German cap with a visor. His ROA armband flickered among these trees in the dark with a white eye thorn and attracted, like his smell, a slug and a traitor that cautiously running behind him was a big gray hungry she-wolf. Young, starving wolf from hunger. Released for a solo night hunt. And not lagging behind him a single step. She was preparing to attack.

She was following in the footsteps of Toad, and the policeman had not yet noticed her morning in the summer morning of June in the early morning of the pursuer.

Everything had happened on the swamps themselves, when the Toad had almost reached the Wolf Farm, where this wolf came from. He himself did not notice how, in the dark, he climbed into the coastal quagmire near three birches. He kicked into a hole and sucked.

Dropping the rifle into the marsh mud, Toad began to wallow in the shaky marsh slush and he was sucked blue and stronger. He had already sunk to the waist when he realized that he was stuck with his rotten denunciation and that he could die here.

- Help! - shouted at the whole forest. Toad - Someone - he was sinking more and more. He clung to the trunk of a birch, when he plunged into the quagmire to the very bosom.

And at that moment a she-wolf appeared next to him. She stood over him and growled, baring his mouth. Illuminated by the yellow light of the hunting moon, she was on half-bent paws and with her gray wool ruffled in mad frenzy of bloody feast, crawled to the face of the frightened policeman, distraught with horror. She was preparing for the morning breakfast.

Toad screamed even harder - Save! - he screamed, frightened no longer by a swamp, but by those who stood above him - good people! Help! - he managed it from the terrible fatal fear, all the bottom, and right in the furnace, drowning in addition to the mud, and in his own shit - Dryk! Whip! Acne! Help!

The wolf rushed at the Toad and grabbed open grinning jaws.

Hefty fangs his right behind his face and pulled him almost all to the bone. Together with the nose and even with the eyes. She swallowed what she had ripped out and began to gnaw at his police head skull. And he also shouted at the whole forest and his cry was spread throughout the marsh all the way to the Wolf Farm.

The she-wolf passed from his head to his shoulders and arms. And while what was left of him, sank in the swamp, she otgryzla this criminal scum hands and dragged them through the wolf farm in his toothed mouth to standing in the birch separate in the swamp house, surrounded by a wicker fence. Hitting the high steps of hewn and old boards into that house, she fell silent there and disappeared into its depth and darkness behind the entrance door that closed behind it.
