Publisher's Synopsis
The year is 1947.
The Second World War is drawing to a close. Germany is trying to hang on, as Allied forces close in from all sides. Hermann Goering is dead. Heinz Guderian is now Fuhrer, and the generals have taken over to try and salvage the by now disastrous situation. Nuclear fire has destroyed three cities and it now seems that everyone as the atomic bomb, negating the American advantage. In Turkey, Rommel has surrendered, and the conflict is over in Africa and the Middle East. France is liberated, and the Allies push hard into Western Germany as the Wehrmacht defenses crumble along the Siegfried Line. In the air, the innumerable American planes are now overwhelming the Luftwaffe. In Italy, Erich Von Manstein was able to stop the Americano-British from advancing before his transfer to the Eastern Front on Guderian's order, in one last bid to stop the Russian hordes from overrunning Eastern Europe and the rest of the Fatherland. The world now hopes for peace. But the Russian forces are stirring menacingly. Already, Stalin's forces have invaded Manchuria and are positioned against General MacArthur's occupying forces in Japan and Korea. It remains to be seen if the Soviet forces will stop when they beat the Germans or continue rolling westward. As Germany faces annihilation, its forces will not go down quietly and just won't surrender. So the real question is if the Fatherland will actually fall, as the Grand Alliance of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union falls apart.
