Chapter 20: Hallo Deutschland
Just before the entry hatch was opened, Illyria said, “Look!”. As we looked across the water to Cape Canaveral, we observed the space shuttle launch. For a moment, we took a moments pause to watch the space shuttle launch into space. “Looks like we’re not the only ones with a mission”, I said. After the shuttle disappeared into space, we resumed our mission of fighting a great evil that literally resurfaced. Illyria opened the entry hatch and we all boarded the U-boat. We found ourselves bathed in a red light which is customary lighting for night time operations on board a submarine. We heard the Horst Wessel Lied Song being sung.
We went to the direction of the singing, and positioned ourselves discreetly. Our eyes couldn’t believe what we were seeing... It was Adolph Hitler himself with a swastika flag behind him as he made his speech. “Our time to take over the world will come again soon, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my thrown above the stars, I will ascend above the heights of the clouds and be like unto the most high”. Buffy shook her head and interrupted his speech, “Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms, who made the world a wilderness and destroyed the cities therefore and opened not the house of his prisoners”.
At that all faces turned towards us, swastikas and vampire faces we faced. “You must be the fuehrer, funny the world thought you committed suicide!”, Buffy said. “Actually, that was my loyal double who killed himself in my place and you’re the slayer”, Hitler said. “Wow, big historic bad knows who I am”, Buffy retorted. “Spike , I thought I’d thought I’d never see the man who was with the vampiress who sired me!”, Hitler said. At that instant, Drusilla came out from the throng of uniformed kriegsmarine vampires. “Oh Spike, I miss you and now you’ve become human again”, Drusilla said. We all turned to look at Drusilla and Spike. “You guys sired Hitler!?”, Buffy asked in perturbed shock. “Not me”, said Spike, “it was crazy Dru!”
“Poor Spike, decided not to go with the winning team”, Drusilla said with a pout. “Wrong, love I’m with the winning team which obviously you aren’t with!”, Spike said. “By the way, what did you have against Jews?”, Angel asked Hitler. “I’m the manifestation of God’s wrath on the Jewish people they crucified Christ for they themselves said, ‘Let his blood be upon us and our descendants’. I was sent here to punish them and balance their karma, I’m a saint!”, Hitler said. “No, you’re a sick loser who forgot that Jesus Christ was just as Jewish as the people who killed him, idiot!”, Buffy said.
“Kill them!”, Hitler roared. At Hitler’s orders, the Nazi vampires came at us full force. We were all armed with stakes to the death until only dust remained of all the Nazi vampires that attacked us. Hitler, Braun and Drusilla were left there standing. “You all may have thought you won and you did this battle”, Hitler said. Gunn threw his stake at Hitler but Hitler caught the stake before it could touch his chest. “Nice catch”, Gunn said. “But not a nice throw, my dog did better than that”, Hitler said.
Hitler’s eyes began to glow an eerie red as his face morphed into a bestial vampire form. “You think you could stop me none of you are any match for me”, Hitler said. “I’m not a man nor a vampire. I’m far more superior to any demon any of you have taken on.” Giovanni pulled out bread and wine which we all took communion except Angel and Illyria. Illyria took one good blow at Hitler as he exploded in a cloud of dust as Angel captured Drusilla, who tried to get away while Buffy after taking the bread and wine dusted Eva Braun.
Everyone eventually climbed out of the U-Boat, Willow looked at the Nazi flag that was flying outside and said a short incantation that caused the swastika to burst into flames and burn. “Out of all the people in the world, why did the Germans have to be the ones to try to exterminate the Jews I mean why them?”, Xander asked as we moved away from the U-Boot. “I don’t know how familiar you are with the Bible but in the book of Esther, there was a man named Haman who was an Amalekite, they were an ancient race that hated the Jews in Ancient Persia.”, I said. “Wasn’t Haman the man who tried to hang Mordecai who was a Jew and built gallows for him and convinced the Persian King to pass a royal decree to destroy all the Jews who were all in Persia at that time?”, Dr. Jacobi asked. “Absolutely”, I replied.
“How does this tie in with Hitler and the holocaust?”, Willow asked. “Because the Amalekites are the ancient ancestors of the German people”, I answered. “Bloody hell, how did they wound up in Germany when they were in Persia?”, Spike asked. “During the conquests of Alexander the Great centuries later, the Amalekites were uprooted from their land and repatriated to the land of the Huns which is now modern day Germany”, I replied. “Did the Amaleckites originate in Persia or did they come from somewhere else?”, Buffy asked. “Well, actually according to a Sid Roth newsletter that I read this spring that’s where I got my info as well as the book of Esther, in answer to your question from what I read in Cornell’s Physical Geography, the 1887 edition, The Amaleckites, which are of the Persian races are the descendants of the Aryan people who came to Persia originally from India, Sanskrit was their mother tongue and the swastika was their emblem which ties in Hitler’s use of the swastika”, I said."But the Hindus are a dark-skinned race how did they get so bloody blond?", Spike asked. "Centuries of intermarriage with the Vikings is what gave them their blond, blue-eyed fair complexion, Vikings and people of pure Germanic stock have straight hair while the Aryans have curly to wavy hair", I answered. “Maybe you should teach history rather than do security work”, Angel said.
“You are a man with a lot of knowledge”, Illyria said. “Speaking of your name Illyria, there was an ancient land named Illyria now known as Albania and the former Yugoslavia, now the Albanians who were once the ancient Illyrians are a people with a code of honor known as the Code of Leke Dukagjini.” I said. Illyria remained pensive. “Impressive”, Emilie said. “Giovanni and I made a stop in Albania during our tour of the world before going on to Athens, Istanbul, Jerusalem and Cairo.”, Emilie added.
“I sometimes wonder what was Hitler’s hatred toward’s the Gypsies?”, Angel asked. “Well according to some long lost legend it was alleged that they were the descendants of Judas Iscariot just before his betrayal and becoming Count Dracula but nothing historically solid on that one.” I replied. “My question is what are we going to do about that U-Boat?”, I asked. Giovanni turned and with a wave of his wand zapped the U-boat and in and instant it vanished like a ghost. Upon reaching shore, Dr. Jacobi lifted the glamour restoring the area to it’s normal appearance.
Angel took Drusilla and tied her to a nearby tree facing east. “May the sun be your judge, jury and executioner!”, Angel said as she looked at him with reproach. We all climbed our vehicles leaving Drusilla to die upon sunrise as we all checked into a local hotel to spend the night. After we had left, a drunkard came by asking Drusilla for change. “I’ll help you if you’ll untie me from this tree”, Drusilla said. “Sure”, said the drunkard and motioned to untie her. Drusilla turned and drank the blood of the drunkard and escaped.
As I slept later that night, I had a dream. The dream setting was New York City, 1945 during the World War, II victory parade which became V-E day. From the throng of celebrators, Lucia appeared in uniform dressed as a Navy WAVE. “You have done well”, Lucia said. “Well, I interrogated a vampire and gave history lessons but someone else vanquished Hitler/ Lucifer!”, I said. “Every contributing effort by the collective conscious in the service of the greater good is what counts, Wars have never been won by one man alone”, Lucia said.
“Team work and community effort is what they’re better known as”, I said. “Exactly”, Lucia said. “Of course every good action has it’s rewards while every evil deed has consequences both history books and sacred texts like the Bible will attest”, Lucia said. “What made the Germans follow Hitler on his path of destruction was the fact that the Germans were conditioned to blindly follow authority unquestionably and anti-Semitism was in Germany for centuries for reasons you previously stated when you were awake”, Lucia said. “But to better understand the roots of evil, it’s good to also read the books of Enoch which I’m sure you already read, but it would be great to recommend it to your friends and allies so they too will be further enlightened as you have so far already”, Lucia said.
“I remember the book of Enoch which has to do with the history of the fallen angels and the origins of evil”, I said. “You’re already preaching to the choir but it delights me that you remember”, Lucia said. “Thanks for the reminder and the suggestion.”, I told Lucia. That instant, Lucia gave me a kiss that made the cheers from the ongoing crowd of celebrators melt away. When Lucia stopped and pulled back to look into my eyes, she said, “You have a pure heart don’t ever let it corrupt”. “You mean a heart of silver?”, I asked. “No, a heart of gold for silver needs to be purified seven times while gold is pure in nature”, Lucia said with a smile.
At that instant, I awoke from my dream by then everybody else had woken up. There was a knock on the hotel room door. “Who is it?”, I asked. “It’s us”, Buffy said from the other side of the door. Upon opening the door, I realized the whole gang was there, I invited them all in. “Turn on the TV!”, Angel said. “OK”, I replied. When I turned on the TV, the first thing I saw was an anchor woman make the announcement of last night’s space shuttle launch then the news reporter said, “On other news, a homeless man was found dead near a tree with two puncture wounds on his neck drained completely of blood local authorities have been unable to verify the cause of death”. The screen switched to the scene of the death where we saw the dead homeless drunk and the tree, where Drusilla was tied to the night before.
“This can only mean one thing...Drusilla escaped and had breakfast to boot!”, I said. “On other news, anyone up for breakfast”, Xander asked. “I am”, I said. “If it’s food you’re always in”, Spike told me. “Anyone else as well as the bottomless pit”, Gunn asked. “Raise your hands”, Willow asked raising hers as well. By then, everyone agreed to have breakfast and everyone was already washed up for the day. “Do you have your ring on?”, Giovanni asked Angel. Angel showed his hand wearing the ring to Giovanni. “Giovanni is lending you the ring but in time he’ll want it back”, Emilie said. “I figured”, Angel said. “Well at least, that brings you in on any daytime action we may encounter now that the rest of us are human”, Dr. Jacobi said. “Well almost”, Illyria said in her Fred guise. “it’s going to feel good to see the sun again without burning up”, Spike said with confidence of his newly regained humanity. “I couldn’t agree more”, Angel said. “Well let’s go!”, Buffy said and we all left the hotel and went to the Ryan’s buffet to have breakfast.
