At each point, our papers were carefully examined. Guards wanted to be sure that we were following orders, not deserting. It took a lot of talk before one scar-faced lieutenant finally believed me…..I followed the beam of his flashlight to a tree. From its lower branch dangled the bodies of two Wehrmacht soldiers, about my age, in their green uniforms. They had been shot in the neck and hanged. The signs pinned to their chests read “DESERTER.”
Using context clues, what is the meaning of the word “deserter” in the above quote?
someone who makes sweet treats
a soldier who wears green uniforms
a Wehrmacht soldier
a soldier who abandons his duties
“For God’s sake, Heck, be sure your units don’t panic at the sound of gunfire.” Then he told about a leader who had been shot by the Gestapo for pulling his boys away from artillery fire. “I’m warning you, Heck, the Gestapo is more dangerous than the Americans.” Quickly the Bannfuhrer caught himself. How could he be sure that Alfons wouldn’t turn him in for making such a remark? Clearing his throat, he continued, “Forget what I said about the Gestapo, Heck. Just make sure you keep your boys from taking off. You know what I mean? It’s your life that’s on the line.”
Based on the above quote, what can you infer about the Gestapo’s power?
Alfons didn’t care what the Gestapo did to him or the boys he was in charge of.
All Hitler Youth thought the Gestapo were wimps
The Gestapo was going to make sure the Americans didn’t win the war.
The decision of the Gestapo was final and usually fearful.
