Book synopsis

May 1940 -- Dunkirk. 360,000 Allied troops escape. Adolf Hitler's cousin stuns the Fuhrer by stating that the war is all but lost. Unless ... Wolf Kampter, the unknown Reischsfuhrer and secret anti-Nazi, lays out the boldest plan of the war -- to overrun northern Africa, the Near East and Iran, while a second arm of the Wehrmacht takes Russia. Twin Panzer groups would then link forces east of the Caspian Sea and push to India. The key to the plan -- seize the treasure of each country. The centerpiece of the grand design -- a commando mission into Britain during the Blitz in 1940 to capture the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London, to create financial chaos and force Churchill into peace talks. Wolf's adventures use everything from slingshots, daggers and curare darts to rocket interceptors and a long-range jet bomber. Kampter runs an emotional gamut -- proud German commando to humble, wounded runaway; cold, icy leader to tender lover in wartime Britain.
