In the final months of World War II, one of the highest officers in the German army is murdered by the German resistance in an attempt to influence the outcome of the war by undermining the Nazi regime. Months later, when the war is finally over, German resistance groups lay down their arms to return to regular life and rebuild their country and their future. With that, assassinations cease - or do they? In the Bavarian city of Nuremberg, one group continues its resistance. Only now efforts are aimed at cowardly war criminals who managed to escape punishment after the war. The punishment that the group feels is well deserved and needs to be applied. Their lethal activities against former Wehrmacht and SS officers go undetected for decades. But then rookie journalist and historian Jutta Grünebaum picks up their trail. Her investigations lead her to German and Dutch archives and historical war and memorial sites and events in several countries. Simultaneously, high officers within the Bundes Polizei department in Nuremberg started investigating a series of untimely and suspicious deaths amongst their ranks. Initially deemed to be accidents and suicides - is there a grimmer scenario going on? Will the resistance men be apprehended by the police? Will Jutta be able to identify them? Will the truth come out? > ## This book was inspired by the many officers who served in the Wehrmacht and SS during World War II and got away with whatever they had been doing during the war. Admittedly, many were indeed held accountable for their actions, but too many were not. On top of that, post-war Germany seemed to have no issues with employing former Nazi officers in high functions within law enforcement, the judicial system, and even in government. As in all the author's books, this story is fictional. The two points the author is trying to make are that there was an active resistance movement in Germany during the war, and that it made little sense to employ former Wehrmacht and SS officers in such functions, given their history and the choices they had made. These points are rarely highlighted and are the main motivation for the author to write this book. This book is available in paperback as well as audiobook.
