By this time, he noticed that his friend had gotten the photos she needed. “They started asking more questions, and I said, ‘What are you talking about? I’m not even married.’ ” Infuriated, the Americans remanded him to some German police officers and returned to the scene. Millionaire looked at the cops and said, in German, that he had no idea what the soldiers had been talking about. The polizei let him go.
The next morning, he came down for breakfast. “ ‘Look, you’re famous!’” Millionaire says, adopting his flat mate’s German accent. “ ‘Don’t you know people died in that?!’ ” There he was, screaming and clutching a cop on the cover of the Berliner Morgenpost: HIS WIFE SALLY DANCED AS THE BOMB DETONATED. A few days later, the same article was picked up stateside. Millionaire’s frantic parents called him in Berlin: “What is going on! You were on the front page of the Boston Herald! Why didn’t you tell us you were married?!”
