But the writing isn’t Engel’s—it’s Julie’s. Maddie isn’t done yet, as there are hundreds of pages. She isn’t sure if reading this is urgent or not, but Engel might need the papers back. At the end there’s a number that looks official, printed in red. And there’s an execution recommendation from Ferber too, which may have been in the process of happening when the Resistance stopped the bus. Maddie can tell where Julie cried; the writing gets smeary. The Gestapo did show Julie the pictures, and Julie gave them 11 sets of dummy code sets, one for each of the wirelesses planted in the back of the Lysander. Julie gave the Germans nothing but fake code. She didn’t even give them Käthe Habicht’s name.
As Maddie immerses herself in Julie’s account, she gets important insight into Julie’s final days. She now has confirmation that she was correct: Julie was able to use the photo of the wireless sets in the Lysander to buy herself some time and the ability to write this account, and Julie also never compromised the Käthe Habicht persona. But at this point in Maddie’s reading, there are still several mysteries—such as what the number at the end means and what the underlined text signifies.
