      V místnosti vedle pitevního sálu čekalo čtrnáct cikánských dětí. Doktor Mengele, bez jediného slova, připravil stříkačky a látky jako Evipal a chloroform. První dvojče, čtrnáctiletá dívka, byla svlečena a uložená na stůl. Po vstříknutí Evipalu usnula a následně jí byl do srdeční komory aplikován chloroform. Po krátkém škubnutí byla mrtvá a přenesena do místnosti pro mrtvoly. Stejným způsobem byla usmrcena všechna dvojčata během noci. Josef Mengele se stal symbolem hrůz Hitlerova konečného řešení, chladným a odosobněným vykonavatelem smrtících obřadů v Osvětimi. Jeho postava, upravené vlasy, precizní plášť a čepice SS, zůstává v paměti přeživších, kteří zažili jeho zkoumavý pohled po příjezdu do tábora. S palcem na opasku s pistolí a chladným pohledem zkoumal své oběti. Smrt vlevo, život vpravo – čtyři sta tisíc duší bylo bezohledně posláno na smrt gestem jeho ruky. Mengele byl hlavním zásobovačem plynových komor a krematorií. Občas, když spatřil dvojčata, jeho smrtící maska zmizela a oči mu zářily vzrušením. V těchto okamžicích se jeho gesta zněžněla, odhalující jeho fascinaci nad těmito dětmi.

      When unassuming American tourist Daniel Wyndham arrived in Tralee, he was searching for whatever strain of Irish mysticism inspired W. B. Yeats and Lady Gregory.But instead of a Celtic Twilight he found the hard-drinking redcoats of the Royal Munster Fusiliers – the Dirty Shirts. Ireland was on the brink of civil war, Europe was on the brink of World War One, and Wyndham was about to find out what the heroes and fighting men of Irish legend looked like in the twentieth century.“… a fascinating tale – fun, fast and furious ” – Irish Examiner"... a distinguished first novel ... written so well that the military historical instruction it affords is a pleasure to absorb." – The Irish Sword“ Ware has an unerring eye for detail , telling his story not from the point of view of strategy and troop movements, but compassionately and humanely from that of the soldier right there in the trench." – Historical Novel Society
