Firing Squad Duty

[Nikki Mond]

Attention Soldier of the Third Reich
You have been chosen to perform firing squad duty.
Report to the Holding Cells at Noon

Nikki was a bit bewildered at the small yellow card that had been delivered to him by a Private. But then he realized that this could be fun, he hadn't been in combat for awhile, and it will be nice too shoot something other than a target. Looking at his watch, he saw it was eleven forty five. He grabbed up his rifle and started too jog to the Holding Cells.
As he neared, he saw a couple of men of all different ranks standing at attention. He started to walk twords them, but a stern voice ordered "Another early bird, eh?" Nikki spun around and faced a mustached officer. "I am the prison wardan, and for the remeinder of the day I will be your commander. Now stand at attention and wait for the other men too arrive!" he spat. Nikki stood straight, wondering how many other men would come.

Antonio passed through the crowds of men in the camp wandering aimlessly. He suddenly remembered something, he dug into his pocket and grabbed a piece of paper. Sergeant Antonio commanding to the firing squad today. He got confused as he looked around. He forgot all about that. He took out a cigarette and lit it. He ran to the firing squad area quickly avoiding questioning faces. He went near the area for the firing squad. A few men were already there ready for duty. He ignored them and moved up the ranks of soldiers.

He missed his spotter Leon, he was granted one week leave by him to go see his dying mother. Normally it would not have been allowed but Antonio gave him the opportunity to leave. He was faced with an officer already leading the squad. Antonio rushed at him, ''Herr, You are not supposed to be here today. I am leading the troops.'' He very rudely responded by saying he didn't report to the office in time. Antonio shoved him as hard as he could making him fall onto the ground into a few canisters and barrels making a few of em' laugh. He was enraged and furious he stormed out of the area.

Antonio turned to each of the men Are you ready?

Nikki held back a chuckle as an Italian officer shoved the rude officer too the ground, but then straightened up and shouldered his Kar98k as the officer called them too attention.
"Yes sir!" Nikki answered in unison with his fellow firing squad men.

[Thomas Sturm]

It was 12 o'clock in the noon when Thomas opened his eyes.
His first thought was, what a luxury it is to sleep in a bed in a heatened room.
After he got heavy wounded by a shrapnel, he got send to rehabilitation and afterwards to serve in a guards company.
His second thought was: "Oh my god, I have firing squad duty today. It's starting at 12 a.m. and so I am already late."
He jumped into his uniform, grabbed his helmet and his boots and ran out of the small barrack.
Completely out of breath he arrived at the holding cells where several guys already waited outside.
"Am I late, Sir?", he asked.
