OOC: I do not condone my character's actions in this thread and would like to warn anyone who may be offended by them beforehand.
Vile smells of filth, rotting flesh, and sewage overwhelmed the SS men. To Oberstumfuhrer Erik Schneider however, getting a whiff of it was a sign of success. The Nazis had successfully beaten back the Jewish population into ghettos to serve as a stepping stone for the transportation of the filth between concentration camps all across Europe. Through a clever veil of threat and deception, they managed to control the population with an iron fist. But it wasn't only that, it was the fact that scum like his Uncle were rotting away here. His Jewish Uncle who had destroyed his families life as a child just as his people had destroyed the Fatherland.
Over the last few weeks, a Jewish ghetto in particular had been able to see through that veil and were rallying beneath the words of some fools who had instigated the rebellion. The guards had actually been beaten back out of the ghetto and forced to lock it down and starve out the people it contained. In a last ditch attempt to save the precious workers, the 2nd SS Panzer Division had been called in. Being an able division resting and refitting in the Fatherland, the SS men had been the first to enter the ghetto in weeks led by the Obersturmfuhrer himself. With minimal casualties, all they had to do was overcome a handful of men with the guard's weapons and some with blunt objects. Soon after they dealt a major blow to the rebel force, the rest of the city quickly followed under them to accept the support from the Nazis they desperately needed like food. Afterward, the rest of the week had been filled with routine patrols to put down the last of the rebellion.
In the end, it turned out the 20 members of the Judenrate had been the leaders of the the whole mess. The Judenrate were the handpicked Jewish council who were assigned to oversee their ghettos. Even the Jewish police force, another group of handpicked men, who were there to enforce the Nazi's word had turned on them. And now, the traitorous council would have to be rounded up and killed. The Obersturmfuhrer had chosen ten trustworthy men from the division and a Rottenfuhrer to see some action for the first time in a while. That action would be storming into houses, beating the inhabitants, and dragging them out to the main street for a public execution. It would teach the treacherous rats who smuggled, begged, and fought for food. The 2nd SS were here to to remove this ghetto's backbone and force them to abide by Nazi law. Schneider had given his men the order to kill any more troublemakers or rebels on site.
"Rottenfuhrer!" he cried out, signaling for Odegaard to move up next to him. He stood side by side with the Corporal in the narrow street with decrepit buildings jammed with Jews towering overhead. "Bestellen Sie die Männer, Hälfte des Judenrate zu erfassen. Die Patrouillen bereits innerhalb dieses Schmutzes holen den Rest des Abschaums. Sie sollen sie hier zurückbringen und sie herauf die Gebäude hinunter die Straße ständig zeichnen, " Schneider said coldly before removing a folded sheet of paper from his breast pocket and handing it to Odegaard. It was a list containing ten names and ten addresses of the men who dared to defy the Fatherland. Schneider was actually impressed with the few men who had actually shown they had courage by standing up for once. But still, even with course they presented no challenge.
He awaited the Rottenfuhrer's response, still standing tall with his hands folded behind his back just inside the ghetto. His eyes surveyed the site of dehumanization before him as the footfalls of his squad faded further away. For a moment, he stood alone contemplating what he was about to do today. He was finally going to take revenge on the people who had ruined his life and his glorious country. He felt a hand wrap around his left ankle, bringing him back to reality. It was the man of a starving Jewish man, but Schneider took no pity. He raised his left foot up and brought it down on the man's face swiftly, leaving him face down on the cobblestone. Just as quickly, he removed his Luger from it's holster and leveled it on the man's head and squeezed back on the trigger. Placing his Luger back where it belonged, he turned away and began walking to the site of the execution while leaving the man face down in his own blood.
- "Order the men to gather half of the Judenrate. The patrols already inside this filth will bring the rest of the scum. You are to return them here and line them up all along the buildings down the street. "
