More about the book
Germany is on the brink of defeat. Starving civilians and exhausted soldiers feel as if all hope has died. Roosevelt's victorious "butchers" believe their moment of retribution has finally come.

Tasked with capturing it is Kampfgruppe Wotan, the last surviving unit of the despised Hitler's SS, commanded by the renowned Sturmbannführer von Dodenburg. They are the most tenacious soldiers in all of Europe, and they have one single chance to save their homeland and their lives…
