作者的话您即将看到的纯属虚构,不是真实的历史。虽然创作这部小说的灵感是因真实的人物和地点而激发,但小说中所有的事件完完全全是作者的想象。众所周知,以下皆为真实事件:第二次世界大战后,数十名纳粹分子和轴心国的合作者在爱尔兰寻求庇护。1957年,年轻的政客查尔斯·豪伊在一家乡村俱乐部为奥托·斯科尔兹内召开了欢迎新会员的仪式。1959年,奥托·斯科尔兹内在基尔代尔购买了马丁斯敦庄园。1963年,面对爱尔兰国会众议院议员诺埃尔·布朗医生的质询,司法部长查尔斯·豪伊告诉国会,奥托·斯科尔兹内从来没有在爱尔兰居住过。除了这些,其余的都是故事。 The author’s words you are about to see are purely fictitious and not real history. Although the inspiration for creating this novel is inspired by real people and places, all the events in the novel are entirely the author’s imagination. It is well known that all of the following are true events: Dozens of Nazi and Axis collaborators sought asylum in Ireland after the Second World War. In 1957, young politician Charles Howie held a welcoming ceremony for Otto Scholes at a country club. In 1959, Otto Scholes purchased the Martinsted Manor in Kildare. In 1963, at face of a question from Noel Brown, a member of the House of Representatives in Ireland, Attorney General Charles Howie told the parliament that Otto Scholes had never lived in Ireland. In addition to these, the rest are stories.
