My name is Giovani Cado, but my family called me Johnny, and my friends usually just called me Cado. I was born in Sicily in 1899, so I guess that makes me one hundred and forty-seven years old. Not bad lookin’ for such an old man, right?
When I was just ten years old, my father was murdered because of a vendetta or something like that. I’m not sure what that was all about, but my mother and I moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, shortly thereafter.
I loved New Orleans. My greatest desire is to return there one day, but that ain’t looking so good about now. There was always a way to make an easy buck in the Big Easy. My best friend was Carlos. We made a good team, working together scamming tourists in the French Quarter. We became excellent pickpockets. We learned at an early age that the Italian section of the Quarter was run by a man of honor, a man to respect: Don Matranga. Everybody either worked for the Don or paid him for protection. By the time we were twelve or thirteen, Carlos and I were paid to break storefront windows of merchants who were behind in their payments to the Don.
When we were sixteen, we divided our time between making money and making it with broads. The Quarter had a steady stream of drunk gals willing to let us take a load off - drunk college gals & drunk country gals visiting the big city, and even married women whose husbands were passed out drunk or chasing other tail.

"Truth is stranger than fiction! The most gruesome events described in this book really happened, just as they are described."
Adolf Hitler officially died on April 30, 1945, but he didn’t. Hitler escaped by submarine, carrying about 50 men to Argentina, arriving in May 18, 1945. One of those men was… is the defendant.
On May 27, three days before his “death,” at the stroke of midnight, Hitler ordered his team to move, according to plan. The details had been planned by Heinrich Müller, head of the Gestapo, right down to the clothes worn by the body doubles that would pass for the corpses of Hitler and his future bride Eva Braun. The defendant was there. Together with Hitler and Eva Braun, they escaped through a secret tunnel leading away from the infamous underground bunker. The city of Berlin was on fire. Despite the explosions, they made their way to the Hohenzollerndamm which ran through the center of Berlin. A Junkers-52 transport aircraft awaiting them.
The plane flew the defendant, the Führer, Eva Braun, and others first to Denmark, then Spain, and eventually to the Canary Islands. From there, they took a submarine to South America. There were two submarines, with about 50 men, that disembarked around 11:00 PM, on May 18, 1945, near the small port of Necochea, about 300 miles south of Buenos Aires.
Four men were there to greet them with pack mules, and to help Hitler, and the defendant, cross the Andes Mountain to arrive in Argentina. They lived together in hiding at Hacienda San Ramón.
One hundred years later, the defendant was discovered about six miles away in San Carlos de Barilche, not a day older than he was way back in 1945.
