In the territory, too, where they believe they have conquered us, new resistance will spring up behind their backs time and time again ... and like werewolves, brave as death, volunteers will strike the enemy.' Heinrich Himmler, November 1944. Aachen fell to the Allies three days after Himmler's speech outlining his deadly intent. The Werewolf Organization was formed as Unternehem Werwolf (Enterprise Werewolf), to be responsible for guerrilla warfare behind the Allied lines. Werewolf dese ribes how a team of five men and a woman, recruited and trained by SS Police Generai Gutenberger, was chosen for 'Operation Carnival'. Their task was to kill Franz Oppenoff, the new Mayor of Aachen and the first German mayor under American occupation, who was seen by the Nazis as an
American stool-pigeon and traitor. Werewolf skilfully recreates the atmosphere of unease that prevailed on both sides during the final months of the Second World War.

On the night of 1 May 1945 the most powerful man in Germany after Hitler, Martin Bormann, left the Fiihrerbunker
beneath the ruined Chancellery building and scurried along the streets of a dying Nazi Bedin. He was running for his life, groups of Russian soldiers were everywhere and Bormann was captured. He escaped and was never seen alive again. Charles Whiting has interviewed all the leading participants involved in the numerous hunts for Martin Bormann since 1945. He has been 'sighted' in a dozen different countries over three continents. The most recent claim to be made is that he was kidnapped by the son of Churchill's doctor and Lt Commander Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, to spend the rest of his life in quiet retirement in the English Home Counties.… (altro)

Emulo di Edwyn Gray (l'autore di L'U·Boot della morte, Pocket n. 562, e di Tra due fuochi , Pocket n. 588) nel romanzare la realtà storica, ma di lui forse anche più abile nel tratteggiare psicologie tormentate e nel ricreare situazioni "impossibili", Duncan Harding rievoca in questo libro quello che Winston Churchill in persona definì "il più dannato viaggio del mondo". È il percorso che nel 1941 i convogli alleati dovevano compiere da Hull (Inghilterra) a Murmansk (Mar Glaciale Artico) per rifornire di munizioni e carburante l'Armata Rossa, un percorso disseminato di insidie umane (gli aerei della Luftwaffe, le flottiglie di U-Boote e di siluranti tedesche) e naturali (acque tempestose e gelide un vero e proprio « inferno sotto zero" nelle quali bastava cadere per morire all'istante). Con questi avversari e in questo scenario, i trenta uomini di un rimorchiatore di scorta britannico, al comando di un giovanissimo ufficiale, sfidano l'ignoto, affrontano ogni avversità, non esitano ad accettare il duello mortale con un sommergibile nazista, guidato da un fanatico comandante. Decimati dal fuoco e dall'acqua, in un'impari lotta, essi affidano al coraggio e alla: fortuna le loro ultime probabilità di sopravvivenza.… (altro)
