	In Response To: PID: Seven above, the rest below (Mark Levin) : The Pathways page claims that there is an inconsistency with the number of : Germans who died in the pyramid (see the Ascension page). I don't think : there is, if we look at it from the Germans' perspective. : 2 bodies on Lock & Load, 2 on They May Be Slow, 1 on But They're Hungry, : 1 on EUPMD... That's six dead as the Germans climbed the pyramid. Joachim, : who died on Ascension, makes seven. The PID page claims that he should : make 8, but as far as Joachim knew, the German on Ground Floor wasn't : dead! He died when Muller shot him for refusing to go down to the : catacombs, but that means that Muller's group was moving downwards at the : time, which was after he changed direction at the top of the pyramid. : Since Joachim could still see after he died, he was able to watch from beyond : the grave as Muller decided that they were going the wrong way and headed : back down the pyramid (even if he couldn't see the decision, he would : watch the men come back as he covers the only exit from the level). So he : is being completely truthful and accurate in saying that seven deaths : convinced Muller to turn around; he just includes his own death in that : count, which is something humans rarely have the opportunity to do ;) : The German on the ground floor says "Seven above, the rest below, not : counting himself, but he also says "All my friends", so that's : understandable. When Joachim tells you who the seven people who died were he says: Three of them were Claude, Hans and Gunther ... I can't remember the other four, or whether Behrens made it out or not. Note he doesn't include himself. He's therefore the eighth dead German based on his counting. Cheers Hamish
