Dangerous Assignment: Henrich Schwandorff (Germany)

Dangerous assignment. Transcribe starring Brian Don LaViere's, Steve Mitchell. Yeah, danger is my assignment. I get sent to a lot of places I can't even pronounce. They all spell the same thing, though, trouble. But when I walk into the Commissioner's office, I don't realize that this assignment is going to show me that sometimes the witness is harder to find than the killer.

Morning Commissioner, you sent for me. Steve, you'll recall what several former leading Nazis were arrested not long ago, and charges of plotting to regain power in Western Germany. Yes, seven of them, and all, including two of Hitler's so-called heirs.

There's still another ex-Nazi big-shot involved, perhaps most dangerous of them all, but we haven't been able to get enough evidence to nail him. His name is Heinrich Schwandorf. He could be their new leader. Schwandorf, yeah, I remember him.

He's clever, Steve, very clever. And as I said, we haven't been able to pin a thing on him. But we've been digging into his past. Anything we can use? We think so. An American intelligence officer was murdered in Berlin in 1947.

The crime was never solved, but we've never stopped working on it. To date the evidence on hand seems to point to Schwandorf as a killer. But we can't prove that either, huh? We might prove it if we could locate a man named Peter Metnik.

He was witness to the murder. Gave us a fair description of the killer. And it adds up to Schwandorf? The description fits him, yes. Unfortunately, it fits a lot of other people. Which means we have to bring Metnik face to face with Schwandorf.

It won't be easy finding, Peter Metnik Steve. This place person. We've lost track of him. I've already contacted the International Tracing Service in Germany. They will have checked their DP files by the time you get there.
