The most daring commando operation of World War II from which no one can return... On a June night in 1944, ten German officers of Baltic origin is parachuted out of a Dornier plane near Moscow. Their mission: penetrate the Kremlin and eliminate Stalin. A fascinating novel inspired by a documented adventure that is as heroic as it is senseless. Perfect for war fiction fanatics and fans of Anthony Doerr's "All the Light We Cannot See". Heinz G. Konsalik (1921-1999), a prolific German novelist known for his humanistic depictions of war, became famous for "The Doctor of Stalingrad." With 155 novels and 83 million copies sold, he remains a celebrated figure of post-war German literature.
