Second Lieutenant Hall, Supplementary Battalion, 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment.
Wang Weiyi was still so surprisingly calm, as if whoever walked in had nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, Hall seemed a little afraid. When he passed by Wang Weiyi, he quietly looked at his boss.
Marklin seemed to have a chance of winning. When Lieutenant Hall stood behind the witness stand, Marklin asked in a condescending tone: "Lieutenant Hall, although you are standing in front of your superiors now, I hope you will uphold the principles of an upright gentleman. Honor, tell me in detail what happened to Captain Ernst Alexson von Brahm that day."
"Yes, I will." Hall murmured, and after a while he plucked up the courage to say: "We captured the enemy's position and captured a large number of prisoners, including Lieutenant Colonel Rosen... Captain Ernst decided to release the prisoners. I tried to dissuade him, but he did not listen to me and insisted on letting Lieutenant Colonel Rosen go...and...and Captain Ernst also I went to the British position and stayed there for a long time before coming back..."
There was an uproar in the gallery, forcing Felix to shout several times to silence them.
"This damn Jew, he deserves to go to hell!" Adolf Hitler cursed with a livid face. If possible, he hopes to rush forward now and give this Jew a severe lesson!
"Went to the British?" Marklin became excited: "Baron Alexon, why did you go to the British? Can you give us a reasonable explanation? In my understanding, if it was not an order from a superior, Could an officer run to the enemy's camp? I'm really curious."
Wang Weiyi smiled lightly.
Schlaf knew it was time to take action himself: "Lieutenant Hall, can you take responsibility for what you said?"
"I...of course I can..."
"But as far as I know, the reputation of your supplementary battalion is not that high." Schlaf smiled slightly: "After Lieutenant Haos, the previous commander of the third company of the supplementary battalion, was injured, you very much hoped to replace Lieutenant Haos. position, but unfortunately, it was Baron Alexson who served as the captain of the third company in the end, and in the subsequent battles, you have not been very active. Can I imagine that you are jealous of Alec? Baron Mori said those words on purpose because of his merits?"
"I object!" Marklin shouted: "I object to Attorney Schlaf's baseless accusation!"
"Ah, if my guess is wrong, I am also willing to apologize like Lawyer Marklin." Before Felix could say anything, Schlaf had already said first: "But I also heard about one thing. When Baron Alexson created Before the 'Miracle on the Somme', you, Lieutenant Hall, forced your men to abandon your company commander, Ernst Brahm!"
There was another uproar in the auditorium.
If Schlaf hadn't told this inside story, the Germans would never have known it. The Germans can be defeated on the battlefield, but they will never allow such a shameful thing as abandoning their comrades, especially their own commanders!
Marklin's expression changed drastically. The other party did not answer the questions directly, but began to question the character of the witness. This is a very scary thing!
Before he could speak, the presiding judge, Marquis Felix of Yorkso, had already asked: "Ensign Hall, have you ever done such a thing?"
"I..." Hall was a little scared: "I received an order from my superiors to retreat..."
"Retreat?" Schlaf said disdainfully: "When your superior, Captain Ernst, was fighting bloody battles on the front line to buy enough time for your retreat, you actually abandoned your superior? Lord Marquis of Yorkso, I know that at that time There is a person who saw this happen, and he is in the gallery now, and I want to ask him to come out."
After getting permission from the Marquis of Yorkso, Schlaf turned to the gallery: "Mr. Adolf Hitler, are you there?"
Adolf Hitler stood up and walked to the witness box. Schlaf said: "Mr. Adolf Hitler, please state your serial number and military rank."
"Corporal of the 3rd company of the 16th Bavarian Infantry Regiment Supplementary Battalion."
"Were you there that time?"
"Yes, I am, sir."
"Please tell everyone what happened that day?"
Hitler glanced at Hall with cold eyes: "That day, we received the order to retreat. Captain Ernst worked hard to buy us time to retreat. While Captain Ernst was still on the front line, Second Lieutenant Hall We have been ordered to retreat. Mr. Lawyer, you are right, Lieutenant Hall, he abandoned his superiors!"
Hall opened his mouth but stopped talking. He didn't know what to say.
Schlaf then asked: "Corporal Adolf Hitler, please tell us clearly and clearly, did Second Lieutenant Hall have time to receive Baron Alexson at that time?"
Adolf Hitler looked at Hall again, and then a deadly sneer appeared on his lips:
"have!"
Exclamations rang out from the gallery for the third time.
"you sure?"
"I'm sure!" Adolf Hitler replied so firmly: "I even begged Hall, who was still a sergeant at the time, to let me pick up Captain Ernst, but Hall flatly rejected my plea. The entire first Everyone who was present in the Third Company can attest to this. I respect Second Lieutenant Hall, but in this matter, he was a shameless deserter!"
Schlaf's eyes turned to Hall: "Second Lieutenant Hall, are Mr. Adolf Hitler's words made up?"
Hall was silent for a long time and shook his head hard.
"Traitor!" "Coward!" "Desert!"
Loud curses were heard from the auditorium.
It is difficult to say whether Ernst Brahm is guilty or not guilty, but the despicable things Hall did have completely angered the Germans who were watching.
Especially those nobles with status, most of whom originally maintained sympathy for Baron Alexson, but now Hitler's words have further aroused their anger towards Hall.
"Such a person is not worthy of being a witness!" Schlaf began to pursue the victory: "On the battlefield, he can leave his superiors behind without hesitation. He is not even worthy of being a German soldier. Lord Marquis of Yorkso, I ask that you strip Hall of his witness status, and I recommend that the military immediately pursue Hall's despicable actions on the battlefield."
Marquis of Yorkso also hated such behavior: "I agree with Schlaf's lawyer's request to deprive Hall of his right to be a witness and remind the military that this matter should be thoroughly investigated."
