Hangwomen for the Hangmen of Berlin…
- This chapter is the story of when Campbell found out how Noth died.
- Campbell is waiting for his turn to get a haircut. To pass the time, he's reading an X-rated magazine.
- The cover has the title "Hangwomen for the Hangmen of Berlin." False advertising: the cover makes it seem like the article will be about scantily clad women hanging people. It's actually about poor men who hanged an assortment of men and women.
- That's when Campbell recognizes that one of the hanged men is Noth.
- Apparently, a group of Polish and Russian imprisoned laborers hanged Noth and the others.
- The article and photos are provided by Ian Westlake, a POW from England. Westlake goes on to write that Noth was no better and no worse than any other German police chief at the time—but that's not a ringing endorsement.
- During the hanging, Noth was revived eight times, and died on the ninth go without dignity and with an erection.
- The next page of the magazine has a naked woman on it.
- The barber calls to Campbell—he's up.
