Brian and Lanny left Roth for a final beer and went to the room to call it
a day.

"How are you feeling?" Brian asked. "Is your shoulder hurting?"

"It aches a little when I move too fast, but it's OK," Lanny assured him.

"Don't make any sudden moves then," Brian smiled. "We have an hour before
Roth comes up. I think he isn't really staying behind just for a beer."

"He likes beer, but I think he's mostly trying to give us a little private
time."

"Do you feel up to taking advantage of that?"

"Oh yeah. I think I'm ready for some private time," Lanny grinned.

"I think I'd like to shower first. What about you?"

"Me too. I think I'm kind of stinky. I wish we could shower together."

"Hmm, that would be nice," Brian agreed. "You know, Marco and Marty like to
shower together."

"Really? How do you know that?"

"When you live in the same house with people, you figure things out. They
go into their bathroom together then come out twenty minutes later with wet
hair and towels wrapped around their waists. Their towels look kind of
bulgy, if you know what I mean."

Lanny laughed. "Like as a tent?"

"Right. I think there's a little foreplay going on in there. After they
shower, they go straight to their bedroom and stay there for an hour or
so."

"I hadn't thought about it before, but I guess it's kind of tricky to have
sex with three boys in the house."

"I guess," Brian said. "We all kind of know what's going on, but it's no
big deal. We pretend not to notice. But they are married for Pete's
sake. We know they have sex with each other."

"They are both good looking guys. It's kind of hot to think about that"

"They are. Marco with that long black hair, and big Marty, the blond
hunk. I imagine they enjoy each other," Brian paused, "I kind of had a
crush on Marco when I first moved in with them."

"Really? Did you want to... you know?"

"I have to admit I thought about it. Just as a fantasy, but Marco is real
good about setting his boundaries."

"Do you still think about that?" Lanny asked.

"No. Not really. I think about both of them as my dads now," Brian
explained. "It's a different relationship. But it's still kind of fun to
think about it."

Lanny smiled, "This conversation could make me horny."

"I'm almost always horny," Brian admitted. "Are you ready for the shower?"

They walked into the bathroom which connected their room with the next and
found it empty. There was a double sink, a toilet and a shower with glass
doors in the corner.

"There's a latch on that other door," Lanny noticed.

"Is anybody in the next room?" Brian asked.

Lanny eased the connecting door open and peeked inside. "Not at the
moment. There are a couple of suitcases on the beds, but nobody's in
there."

Brian grinned, quickly got undressed and stepped into the shower. "Come on
in. The water's fine."

Lanny latched the door, then put his clothes in a pile on the sink and
stepped in the shower with Brian. "How do we do this?"

"Let's get clean first and see what happens. Want to wash my back?" Brian
handed Lanny a bar of soap.

Lanny smiled, took the soap and began to wash Brian's hair, using the
resulting suds to wash his back, then his butt, letting his fingers slide
up his crack. Then he knelt down and washed the back of his legs. The
running water rinsed the soap away. As Brian turned to face Lanny, his
erect cock was at eye level. "Want to wash the front too?" he asked.

"I can see how this might lead to something," Lanny smiled and washed that
which was in front of him, then stood and ran his soapy hands over Brian's
chest and arms. "You're pretty hot yourself," he said softly.

Brian's response was to wrap his arms around Lanny and kiss him. Their
soapy bodies rubbed against each other and there were soon two erections in
play.

"Let me wash you now," Brian whispered and took the bar of soap and began
to rub it over Lanny. "Have I told you lately how beautiful you are?"

"You can tell me again."

Brian embraced his friend and ran his soapy hands over his back and down
his crack while holding him from the front. The skin on skin contact felt
very good.

Brian stepped back as far as the close space allowed and let the water from
the shower rinse the soap away. Then he knelt down and took Lanny in his
mouth, caressing his balls and sucking him deeply into his throat.

"Oh! That's really nice!" Lanny gasped.

"Um-hum," Brian mumbled. He sucked for a few minutes then pulled back long
enough to admit, "I really like sucking you. I like to the feel of your
cock in my mouth."

Lanny pushed himself against Brian's face, "Knock yourself out. I love to
be sucked!"

Brian went back to his task, stroking himself as he took the hard dick deep
in his throat. He gripped Lanny's butt cheeks and ran his fingers over his
hole.

Lanny hunched himself into Brian's face for a few minutes more then grabbed
his hair. "You better stop. I'm going to shoot!"

Brian sucked harder and mumbled from the side of his mouth. "Go ahead. I'm
loving this."

Another few strokes and Lanny emptied himself into his lover's mouth. "OH!
My God, that's intense!" His knees buckled and he had to support himself by
leaning over Brian.

They both sat on the floor of the shower, embraced and kissed deeply,
sharing the semen in Brian's mouth.

After a few moments Lanny raised up and pushed Brian down against the wall
of the small shower. "My turn," he whispered.

He leaned over and took Brian's dick in his mouth, licking it from top to
bottom, sucking first one testicle then another into his mouth while he
stroked him. He sucked the top half of his cock while he stroked him,
running his tongue around the cockhead and squeezing his balls with the
other hand. He stopped only long enough to glance up and whisper, "I like
it too."

He sucked, stroked and squeezed until Brian began to stiffen and
gasp. Lanny ran his fingers down over Brian's butt hole while he took him
as deep in his throat as he was able and pulled the cum from his balls
while Brian stifled a cry.

Brian slumped back against the wall of the shower and looked into Lanny's
smiling face. "Whew! I guess there are a lot of ways to do this."

"This is our first time to do it in the shower," Lanny grinned. "Now I
understand why your dads like to shower together."

"No shit!" Brian laughed. "Now we better get out of here before we get
caught."

They stood, rinsed off and stepped out to wrap their towels around
themselves. They brushed their teeth, picked up their clothes and unlatched
the adjoining door. As they walked out, the door opened and a young man
peeked in, nodded and stepped back to pick up a towel. They slipped into
their room, closed the door and sat down on one of the beds.

"That was kind of fun," Lanny grinned.

"Sex with you never gets old," Brian told him. "I bet there are a million
ways to do this."

"I hope so," Lanny chuckled. "And we didn't even mess up the bed."

They lay side by side and tried to regain their composure.

"I wonder if Roth has finished his beer?" Lanny asked.

"Probably. But he said he would give us an hour. He'll be up here in a
little while."

"I wonder about Roth."

"What do you mean?" Brian asked.

"I wonder where he is on the scale of sexuality. The first time we ever met
him, he got in our tent naked and ended up jerking us off. Then when he got
to know us better, he told us he was straight, but he has twice now made
room for us to have sex together. You know he didn't stay downstairs just
to drink another beer."

"I see what you mean. I don't know either. Maybe he likes it both ways."

"But he has been really nice to us and has been a real gentleman. He hasn't
tried to do anything with either of us. At least not with me," Lanny said.

"No. Me neither. I wonder about that too, now that you mention it."

"How did you feel about playing around with him in the tent?"

"Well. It kind of surprised me," Brian admitted. "But at the time it was
just kind of like horsing around. I was more concerned about your feeling
jealous than anything else."

"I was thinking the same thing. That was the first time I ever felt of
another guy's cock, except yours. It was exciting but I was afraid you
would be mad."

"It was kind of exciting. I admit that. You know what I thought was
interesting about it?"

"What?"

"I can't honestly say I never felt another guy's cock, but his was the
first that was uncut," Brian admitted.

"Yeah. He was uncut, or is, I guess I should say. His skin was real
loose. I kind of liked that too."

"We need to do something nice for him. He's been really great to us and
hasn't asked for anything."

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Lanny asked.

"Probably. Would you feel OK with that?"

"As long as we do it together. I think it would bother me if either of us
did something with another guy on our own, but if we do something together,
maybe that would be cool."

"It would be fun," Brian laughed. "Let's see what happens. We have a few
more days with him."

They tossed the towels on the bedside chair and got under the sheets of two
adjoining beds, leaving the third for Roth, and stretched out to wait for
him. By the time he returned to the room they were asleep. Roth came in
quietly, looked at his friends and smiled. In a few minutes he was also
asleep.

----------------------------

Morning came and their first thought was for breakfast. The hostel had a
dining area with rolls and orange juice where they sat and planned their
day.

"So what's on the agenda, Roth?" Lanny asked. "You're the tour guide."

"We saw a little of the town last night. There are places to shop and nice
museums, but I think the most interesting thing is for you to see the Rally
Grounds. There is much to see and we should take our time there.  We can
spend the day in Nuremberg, but I would like to go on to Berlin tonight."

"Whatever you say," Brian agreed. "Are we in a hurry?"

"Ah, I should tell you that I called Fredrick's brother Karl last night. Do
you remember that he lives in Berlin?"

"Right. He is married and lives there with his family."

"Yes. Of course he knows about you. Emma told him that we were coming to
Berlin, and he wants to meet you. We are invited to stay with him while we
are there."

"Does he have room for us?" Lanny asked.

"He lives in a small apartment. I think we will sleep on the furniture, if
that is alright."

"That's not a problem. It's awfully nice of him," Lanny smiled.

"I think you are part of the family now," Roth smiled. "He is curious about
the American visitors."

"If you're sure we won't be a nuisance. We would like to meet the rest of
the family."

"If you are ready, we should go. It is not far to the Congress Hall from
here. I think I would like to walk. Is that good for you?"

"Sure. All we need are our rucksacks. The rest we can put in your car,"
Brian suggested.

"Yes, yes. Then we go."

They walked for some distance and saw what looked to Lanny like some
photographs of the Roman Coliseum he had seen. As they got closer, they
could see that it did not make a complete circle, but was in a U shape that
opened outwards towards a small lake.

"That is the Kongresshalle, or the Congress Hall. It was intended to look
like the Roman Coliseum, but it was never completed. There were many grand
buildings designed by Albert Speer that were only started. One which was
finished was the Zeppelinfeld, the Zeppelin Field. That was where the great
rallies were held. There is an Education Center in part of the Congress
Hall. We should go there I think."

In the Education Center was an exhibit called 'Fascination and Terror' that
took them through the rise and fall of the Nazis – the common name for
this is the Nationalsozialistische, or National Socialist Party. The
exhibit progressed through the growth of the Nazi Party and the great
changes that took place from the end of the Great War in 1918 through the
rise of the party in 1933, the start of World War II, the terrible
concentration camps and the utter destruction of much of Germany. It was
both fascinating and rather frightening.

"That must have been a terrible time to live through," Lanny observed.

"Yes, I think so," Roth agreed. "Of course that was before I was born, but
my father remembers a little about it. He was a young boy during the
war. His father, my Ommpa, lived through it all."

"Did he have to fight?" Brian asked.

"No. He was one of the lucky ones. He was a Mechanical Engineer and worked
in a factory that made tanks and trucks. Other things too, I suppose. He
was a designer and they needed him to work in several places. He was spared
from the fighting, but late in the war some of the places where he worked
were bombed and he was injured. Not so bad though."

"Did he talk much about the war?"

"He told us some things about it. Many people of his age do not like to
talk about the war. They saw too many terrible things, I think. He was in
Nuremberg in the early time and told us about the rallies here. That is why
I wanted you to see it."

"Tell us about the rallies," Lanny requested.

"There is a Nazi propaganda film made by Leni Riefenstahl in 1935 called
'Triumph of the Will', that makes this clear. I think we can see it
here. It was intended to promote the adoration of Adolf Hitler as the
savior of Germany. He was made to be a sort of God. Leni was a very good
film maker and did some other films for the government. The woman was paid
to make the film but after the atrocities of the war, she was deeply
ashamed that her film contributed to the success of the Nazi party and the
destruction that was caused. She was severely penalized for it."

"What happened at these rallies?" Brian wanted to know.

"We should watch the film," Roth suggested.

They sat and watched as the film played out. It began with a glorification
of the German people and showed clips of workers in the fields while the
voice of Adolf Hitler praised them for their bravery and loyalty. The
nation had suffered greatly from the onerous restrictions placed on them
after the last war. The people would be the salvation of their nation
through their hard work. It was these people who would make the Germany
great again. There was great emphasis on the Hitler Youth as the future of
the nation. The film showed the faces of many handsome boys and girls
giving the stiff-armed Nazi salute. It was promised that they would make a
nation for all Germans, no matter where they lived. The implication was
that largely German regions outside of Germany itself would be incorporated
into a larger country. It was made clear that the purity of the German race
was very important and that the Jews were the enemy of the state.

There were scenes of smiling children and women, saluting as Hitler passed
through crowded streets in an open car. Here was the Führer, the leader,
smiling and waving at the crowds. There were scenes of a great rally at the
Zeppelin Field where thousands of cheering people listened as Hitler's
party leaders - Bormann, Goebbels, Goring, Hess, Himmler and others, gave
inspirational speeches. While the film cut to scenes of marching soldiers,
tanks and airplanes, the voice of Hitler exhorted them to work and make
sacrifices for Germany. He told them that they must fight for Germany. He
was an extremely powerful speaker, an eloquent madman.

The speeches were very inspiring. It was stressed over and over again that
everyone must work and everyone must be loyal. Hitler would be loyal to
them, and of course they must be loyal to him. It was not really the state
to which they must show loyalty, but to Adolf Hitler, to the
Führer. Speech after speech emphasized that whatever the Fuhrer said was
law. It was the promotion of a cult designed to worship Adolf
Hitler. Hitler was the National Socialist Party.

"The rallies must have been very exciting," Roth told them. "They occurred
every year as an annual celebration from 1933 to 1938 until Germany invaded
Poland and the armies had other things to do. There is a film record of all
of them. The enormous area of the Zeppelin Field was filled with soldiers
in military banners. They marched in carrying hundreds of flags and
standards with swastikas on top. Some of them were held at night, and there
were hundreds of big spotlights that lined the field and shined columns of
light far into the sky. It was called the Cathedral of Light. It was very
dramatic. There were tens of thousands of people who were watching all this
and they were very excited. The films were shown all over Germany so that
even those who could not attend could know what happened here and be
inspired."

"Why did they think Hitler was so wonderful?" Lanny asked

Roth shook his head, "Try to think about being an ordinary German of that
time. They had been left in a terrible situation after the Great
War. People were starving because of the extreme conditions of the Treaty
of Versailles. The Treaty placed Germany under legal sanctions. They were
deprived of military power, economically ruined and politically
humiliated. Although Germany was devastated by the war, they were to pay
reparations for the losses of the Allies. It was not possible for Germany
to do this, and it made their situation extremely difficult. Many of the
German people did not support the Great War and felt very resentful. It was
a terrible time for them. They were desperate for something, anything,
which would improve their situation. Here was this exciting display of
military and economic power and this political savior who promised to make
Germany great again. Of course they embraced him."

They left the Congress Hall and walked to the Zeppelin Field.

Roth tried to explain what had happened there. "Albert Speer designed the
Zeppelin Field as an almost religious space for the worship of the
Führer. On three sides, the field was framed by spectator stands for the
people. The main stage was centered at the far end of the Zeppelin Field
with a massive rostrum on which Hitler would stand so that he was above
everyone with the party leaders just beneath him. High above him was a
golden swastika like the cross on an altar.

"Everything faced the Führer which emphasized his power and
leadership. The vast groups of military stood in the field in orderly rank
and file, and the spectators filled the stands on the other three
sides. Everyone pledged allegiance to the Führer, and became part of the
'national community' which was subordinate to him. Long banners lined the
field and there were flags and standards topped by swastikas everywhere. It
was very dramatic. Hitler liked to drive up in a car during the party
rallies, and enter the grandstand from below out of the crowd of
spectators. Hitler wanted to stage himself as the leader who came from the
people and remained connected to them. It was a carefully orchestrated
liturgy."

As Brian and Lanny looked around the vast space, they tried to imagine what
it looked like at the time of the rallies. Much of the structure was
crumbling now, and the grandstands were choked with weeds. Roth told them
that there were plans to do repair and restoration to preserve the memory
of the place's history. Roth smiled and told them, "This is used by the
high school futbol team now. So it is not totally abandoned."

By this time it was afternoon, and they began to think of lunch. "There is
much to see here," Roth told them, "but I think we should go. It is enough
for one time. Did you find this interesting?"

"Very interesting," Lanny said. "How do you know so much about all this? It
happened long before you were born."

Roth shrugged, "Like many Germans I struggle to understand how such things
can happen. It is important to understand those times. Maybe I can make
some difference for my country."

"Have you ever thought about getting into politics?" Brian asked.

"Perhaps. I have thought about it," Roth smiled. "I am not sure what my
future will be."

They started the long walk back to the hostel without much
conversation. Roth was tired from all his explanation, and Brian and Lanny
were thinking about all that they had learned. It had been a very
interesting day.

They stopped at a cafe and had some lunch, then loaded up the car and got
back on the Autobahn towards Berlin.

Roth called Karl on his cellphone to get directions to his apartment and
let him know they were soon arriving. They drove through blocks of tall
apartment buildings and pulled into the parking area of one. They
shouldered their packs and followed Roth into the building and up an
elevator to Karl's apartment. By this time it was late in the afternoon and
the family was home.

They were greeted at the door by Karl, his wife and two little girls who
looked very excited.

"Come in please," Karl greeted them.

Roth introduced Brian and Lanny, and Karl's wife was introduced as
Anna. The girls were Heidi age 5 and Gretchen age 3. They were cute little
blonde girls with rosy cheeks.

"Are you sure you have room for us?" Lanny asked.

"Yes, yes. Of course. You are family now. We do not have beds for you but
you are welcome to find a nice place on the floor," Karl laughed. The rent
is very reasonable."

Anna greeted them then disappeared into the small kitchen from which some
good smells were coming. "Are you hungry?" she called.

"Always," Brian laughed. "Can we help?"

"No, no. It is almost ready." She laid out a simple meal of sausage and
potatoes with a small green salad. "I hope it is enough," she said.

They crowded around the small table and answered the usual
questions. "Where are you from? How do you come to be here in Germany? Tell
us about your families." They felt right at home and related their
adventures with travels and the excitement of their hike on the Goldsteig
Trail.

Anna made some coffee and they went into the living room to sit more
comfortably while Karl told them about his work in Berlin. Anna was in
nursing school and they were making a nice life for themselves here. Heidi
and Gretchen tried to follow the conversation but soon fell asleep in their
chairs. Anna excused herself and ushered them into their bedroom to be
tucked in. It was a very nice family.

"I'm sorry, but the apartment is small," Karl explained. "The sofa is
comfortable and we have an inflatable mattress that we can put on the
floor. I hope you will find that comfortable."

"That will be fine," Brian assured him. "We have been sleeping in a tent,
so that will be very nice."

Karl blew up the mattress, then brought in some blankets and pillows and
made his apology. "I must leave rather early for work in the morning, so I
must leave you. If you need anything, please let me know. Goodnight."

Brian and Lanny chose the mattress and gave Roth the sofa. They located the
bathroom and got ready for bed.

"What is our plan for tomorrow?" Brian asked.

"Ah, there is so much to see in Berlin," Roth told them. "This is a very
big city. Of course there are museums and cathedrals which I know you would
enjoy. But perhaps you would like to see more history, and save the museums
for another time."

"I think we have seen plenty of museums and churches," Lanny told him. I
thought the things we saw in Nuremberg were very interesting. I would not
mind more of that history."

Roth smiled, "I'm glad to know that. There is much here for you to see, and
that is what interests me as well. I will try not to disappoint you."

"Thank you for everything, Roth. You have been a wonderful friend to us
both," Brian said sincerely.

Roth smiled. "It has been my pleasure. I am sorry to see our time together
coming to an end. But now I must sleep. Goodnight."

And they slept well.
