Nazis And The Purple Orchid

Go to CruxDreams.com
Yupar was taken next. She too was unaware the walk was unaware to be her last. She was led to the guillotine and strapped to the bascule. She felt and smelled the still blood as she leaned against it. She looked up at the blade hanging above her and asked “Is that blade sharp enough?”

Joan Baum said “Ask her.”

She pointed to Barbara’s head perched on a stainless steel cart.

Yupar looked up at the blade still dripping Barb’s blood as the bascule is shoved forward. A few seconds later the blade would rattle down the track and her head was placed next to Barbara’s.

Eulalia was taken next. She asked what was going on recognizing the routine had changed. He told her they were ‘tying up’ loose ends.

n 40.jpg

When they brought her into the guillotine room she screamed “You can’t do this!”

n 41.jpg

But of course they could. She was strapped to the bascule now very coated and sticky with both Barb’s and Yupar’s blood. The board was again slid forward and the scent of her friends filled her nose.

She said “Just drop the blade.”

And they did.
 
Next was Siss. As her wrists were bound she said “You lazy Krauts are working pretty fast today”

“Are you getting in rush because the Allies are closing in” Siss asked.

“You won’t live to find out” he replied.

“Not true, I already know. You have to get rid of us quickly so you can bug out of here” Siss said. She was taken to the death chamber and saw the bloody guillotine.

n 44.jpg

As she walked past the cart with Barb’s, Yupar’s, and Eul’s heads sitting on it she said “Hi, girls, I’ll be with you soon!”

n 45.jpg

Siss stepped on the bascule and turned to the man and said “I hope you know what you are doing.”

n 46.jpg

He strapped her to the blood-soaked bascule and said “I am sure you will be dead.”
n 47.jpg

Siss really didn’t doubt him. He grabbed the handle to tilt the bascule down and asked “Are you ready, Siss?”

“Fuck no I am not! Why don’t you just run back to Hitler and leave me standing here. I’m sure my G.I.s will get her before I starve” she said.

n 48.jpg

The Gestapo agent did not accept her offer and tilted the bascule down.

n 49.jpg

The bascule was pushed forward and Siss’ neck was locked in the guillotine. The last words she heard was Herr Baum saying “Drop the blade…”

Since the days of my childhood, this death, I hope.
 
The ironically sad tale of the Purple Orchid draws near its close. The ‘Purple Orchid’ herself, the beautiful French woman Messaline, is brought to the chamber of death.

n 51.jpg

She sees the heads of Barbara, Yupar, Eulalia, and Siss lined up on the stainless steel cart.

n 52.jpg

While it horrifies her she was not surprised. Each time after Barbara the guards came for the woman their black trousers had more telltale brownish-red splatters of blood on them. She knew they were dead. Messaline calmly said in fluent German “Let us get this done so you boys can run back to your homeland befor the Allies take this place.”

“What makes you think they are so near?” the SS officer demanded. “Do you still have moles even here?”

“I have no ‘moles’ though some must have eaten your brains. I don’t know if it was hours or days but the heavy artillery stopped then the mortar fire has even slowed. They are close; not close enough to save me or you would have wasted a bullet to my head. So I am ready. Put me on your toy” Messaline says with calm defiance.

The officer replies “I admire your bravery and even your keen observations but the guillotine is reserved for spies. You go over there where we hang resistance fighters against the French Vichy Government. I even have your death warrant written in French though I notice you have a firm command of German.”

n 53.jpg

Messaline’s blood runs cold. She had joined the Resistance after the Nazis hanged her best friend in February of 1940.

She was determined not to show the fear that filled her now as she she stepped up onto the stool to her date with the noose.

As the noose was placed around her neck Messaline asked “Do you have neither the balls or bullets to shoot me?”

n 31.jpg

He didn’t answer as he bound her feet. Messa looked about the dingy room that the smell of fresh blood permeated the air knowing it would be the last place she would sense

n 32.jpg

Herr Gruber stepped up and inserted a pair of fingers in her sex.

n 54.jpg

“I regret not using this pretty cunt” He muses.

“Maybe you will when I’m dead. I hear you bastards are perverted like that” Messaline relies.

“Such clever last words” Gruber relies as he kicks the stool away…

n 33.jpg

“…I expected something more inspirational from you” he adds as Messaline is hanged. Messaline’s eyes widened as the rope bit into her neck and her feet swung with the floor so close nut out of reach!”

n 56.jpg

At first she hanged still as she tried to comprehend what had just happened to her. Gruber admired his handiwork tying the noose as Messaline was gasping for air then gurgling as she exhaled. He said to her “Come on fräulein, I am sure you have a bit of fight left in you… Yes, that better!”

With her ears ringing Messa did not hear him. She could feel the hemp fibers too see stick to her left cheek, shoulder, and breast as they are peel from the rope ask the coils of the noose slide slowly down the rope, tightening the loop around her neck. At first Messa’s bound feet do small kick while her clinched fists tried to escape the rope binding her wrists.

n 35.jpg

The trash became more desperate as the noose closed around her throat.

n 55.jpg

Herr Gruber’s aide came to him and said “Sir, we must go now if we are to go at all.”

“Fräulein, I regret I cannot stay to see your demise. Do enjoy what little time you have left” Gruber said as he turned and left. Messa lasted only a few more minutes before the noose crushed the blood vessels then her throat. Her vision faded as did the hammering in her ears as the blood flow ceased.

n 34.jpg

The last thing she saw was the four heads of fellow Purple Orchids.

n 36.jpg

Herr Gruber, his wife Helen, and Joan Baum raced east in his chauffeured Mercedes staff car escorted by heavily armed SS troops on vehicles front and rear.

Just ten minutes later American troops burst into the death chamber. The blood on the cart was still sticky and Messa’s lifeless body was still warm but they were too late to save her.

n 37.jpg

Thus was the tragic end of the Purple Orchids who provided so much valuable information.

There will be an epilog… a few loose ends to tie up…
