JAIL IN
COLOGNE
After the abortive kidnapping of Lischka on March 22,
I had to get the ball rolling on the Lischka affair because the German police
were certainly going to try to hush it up.
So the next morning I
telephoned a Cologne newspaper, the Kölner Stadtanzeiger, told them
I was Frau Schmidt who lived on Bergisch-Gladbacher-Strasse, and that I had
seen an attempted kidnapping the previous day: "Some young people hit a man
with a blackjack. I am amazed. The police came and still there is nothing about
it in the papers this morning."
A reporter replied: "Yes, there is.
There's a small item at the bottom of page two: 'Four unknown persons attacked
a businessman early yesterday afternoon and fled.'"
I realized that I
had not been mistaken. There must have been a police report. Lischka surely
would have been taken to a hospital for treatment. Plainclothesmen had been
there. There were witnesses. And the Cologne police certainly knew Lischka well
– they knew him all the better as he was Gestapo chief in Cologne in 1939
and 1940.
I called another newspaper, the Kölner Rundschau:
"Hello. My name is Schmidt, and I live at 59
Bergisch-Gladbacher-Strasse. Yesterday I witnessed an incident on
Maria-Himmelfahrt-Strasse. I can't find anything about it in your paper
