Professor Vandalsky Petr Karlovich leaves Russia in 1926 and settles in the homeland of his great-grandfathers, in Germany, where Immortality is active: the Berlin version is engaged in plastic surgery, prolonging, if not youth, then the appearance of youth for those who can afford to pay for his work. An excellent surgeon and, at the same time, a connoisseur of medicinal herbs, Vandalsky achieves excellent results and enjoys success. His clinic is thriving, there is no end of patients, and especially patients.
At his own expense, Vandalsky maintains an experimental laboratory, where, while still on animals, he conducts experiments that should, in the future, extend the life of a person.
In search of the secrets of longevity, Vandalsky (now he is von Dals) visits Tibet, Egypt, Mesopotamia, travels around Central and South America for a year and a half. When he returned, he performed a series of brilliant operations, among the patients - the most famous artists. In addition to the actual cosmetic operations, von Dals prescribes an intensive rejuvenation course.
Each such course, he claims, extends life by 15-20 years. The rejuvenated film prima donnas glorify the "Berlin wizard" by their appearance on the screen, now people from all over the world come to him for youth.
But in 1935, von Dals suddenly announced that in six months he would stop his medical practice and devote himself entirely to research work. “We stand on the threshold of a new world, a world where immortality will be the lot of not only gods, but also godlike heroes,” he says.
In those six months, he probably made more money than in all the previous years. But he can spend the money completely on himself, on his family - his experimental laboratory is taken under the wing of the state.
Nazi leaders really want to see themselves in god-like heroes, and von Dals's hobby for eugenics (“only the worthy should live long”) is quite consistent with the ideology of Nazism. Von Dals offers everything that a well-functioning state machine can provide. One thing is expected of him - a miracle.
And he lives up to expectations. In the spring of 1937, he conducts an experiment: it separates the chimpanzee's head and maintains life in it for a month. In fact, this is a repetition of Bryukhonenko's experiments, but nevertheless a chimpanzee is not a dog, and a month is not a week. After a month, he returns the head to the monkey's body, which was stored at a low temperature in a special preservative solution. The operation is successful, the chimpanzee (it was a female) lives, gives offspring … Ill-wishers, however, claim that not one head was shown, but five, from different monkeys in turn, and the revived chimpanzee underwent a different kind of operation - they just cut the skin on the neck. However, the ill-wishers had to shut up - the experience received a favorable response from the Nazi Olympus. Another experiment was demonstrated a year later: three dozen rats are placed in a special preservative solution,cooled and hermetically sealed for a month. Then, gradually heating and changing the solutions (the composition of which, of course, was already a state secret), all the rats are revived. Von Dals states that animals can be stored in solution for a long time, for years and decades. Olympus's interest is growing, and with him the laboratory's budget grows.

It is rumored that Hess, Nazi number two, underwent a special rejuvenation course, and von Dahls guaranteed him a hundred years of life. Again, according to rumors, some crowned heads and leaders of a number of countries turn to von Dals. The invitation to the course of therapy comes from Olympus, which certainly contributes to the strengthening of Germany's international influence. But even these seemingly flattering rumors are mercilessly pursued. With the outbreak of World War II, von Dalus's works are strictly classified, he stops meeting with foreign colleagues.
What von Dahls did during the war is virtually unknown. Statements that experiments were carried out on prisoners of war on his order and under his leadership do not have documentary evidence. He is not on the list of war criminals. Although, perhaps, von Dahls is too valuable a prize to be brought to justice. Another German scientist, Werner von Braun, was given complete absolution, although his brainchild, the Vau shells, claimed the lives of thousands upon thousands of people. It is suspected that after the war, von Dals was also taken over by one of the victorious powers, which uses him for its own purposes.
In 1969, a book by Alexander Vendals, the son of Peter Vandalsky - von Dals, was published in the United States. Wendels claimed that his father performed an experiment to preserve the body of Adolf Hitler!
The fate of the German Fuhrer is mysterious to this day. Even Marshal Zhukov remained for many years completely unaware of the fate of enemy number one. Elena Rzhevskaya, who worked as a translator during the war, writes in her memoirs that Hitler's body was found in the first days of the victory. It is possible that she - and above all the experts - were misled. There is nothing easier than preparing in advance a fictitious dental card that fully corresponds to the future twin corpse, and therefore the examination cannot be considered absolutely reliable in this case.
Here is what Alexander Vendels writes in his book “My father conquered death”: “On May 2, 1945, when I was a fifteen-year-old teenager, my father brought me to his laboratory, located not far from Hitler's Headquarters. It was also located in a dungeon, the floor trembling every now and then from the close explosions of shells and bombs. I was in the laboratory for the first time, an underground menagerie with giant monitor lizards, crocodiles, two-meter turtles and other monsters fascinated me, but my father was not up to excursions. He ushered me below into a special hall, completely tiled with marble. There were closed baths in the middle of the hall, and the splashing of water was heard due to the shock from the explosions. I thought - from explosions. The lamps, weak, behind dark red glass, barely shone, and I did not immediately get used to the crimson twilight.
My father took me to one of the bathtubs, pressed the lever that removed the opaque lid. I saw the body of a completely hairless man floating in the bathroom. Suddenly the cadaver began to stir. Yes, it was his movements, chaotic, meaningless, that caused the splash of water, or rather, a balsamic solution. I looked into the face. Without the bangs and mustache, it looked much younger, but without a doubt, it was Adolf Hitler! The father briefly explained that now the body is at the stage of transformation into a "chrysalis", capable of a long time, many decades, on the verge of life and death and, under certain conditions, return to active existence. It took another day to complete the process, after which the “doll” wrapped in fabrics soaked in balsam in a special sarcophagus was planned to be taken out for long-term storage.
Whether it succeeded or not, Alexander Vendels does not know. His father, accompanied by a guide, sent him to a relatively safe place, where Alexander met the end of the war. He never saw his father again, but an unknown well-wisher from time to time transferred money to him, paid for his studies at the university, helped to obtain a residence permit in the United States.
For many years he receives a birthday card, always the same: in the middle of the cave, in a crystal coffin, Koschey is sleeping.
