  Harry Avery : Take a look at this.

  Phil Sparr : That's my shot from this morning.

  Harry Avery : See any resemblance?

  Phil Sparr : The same guy!

  Harry Avery : Exactly. And that Nazi is Kurt Fowler, known as "The Butcher."

  Phil Sparr : Fowler? He was reported killed in the bombing of Berlin. He's listed as dead.

  Harry Avery : That's right. And your camera brought him back to life. That's what I call a great scoop!
