Are there really dead bodies?

Nope.

"Yes" or "no" for answers aren't very straightforward and can be misleading. Asking vague questions would make it harder for you.

So Fredric used an anthem to trick Brad into confessing to something?

[Jun-Watarase]

So Fredric used an anthem to trick Brad into confessing to something?

Yes. I'll accept all your attempts so far as an answer.

Answer: "Brad" is a German spy during World War II. Fredrick, an American, is suspicious of him, so he plays a word-association game with him. When Fredrick says, "The land of the free," Brad says, "The home of the brave." When Fredrick says, "The terror of flight," Brad says, "The gloom of the grave." Any U.S. citizen would know the first verse of the national anthem, but only a spy would have memorized the third.
