Intelligence-Slave

Read Act I of Intelligence-Slave (.pdf)

Synopsis:

Intelligence-Slave takes place underground in an abandoned salt mine where the Nazis have moved the Buchenwald machine factory at the end of World War II to avoid Allied bombing. In this salt mine, the Austrian industrialist and concentration camp prisoner, Curt Herzstark tinkers with an amazing device. A small, black metal cylinder, no bigger than the palm of his hand, the device is a technical marvel... it's also what's keeping Curt alive; the device is the world's first hand-held four function calculator and the Nazis have designated Curt an "intelligence-slave" and are keeping him alive to present it as a gift to Adolf Hitler.
