Hitler sits mindlessly in the Bunker, staring at the walls. The Nazi dream is over and the Russians are dancing on its grave. Valentine, rogue American operative, is also hot on the trail.... Colonel Brumm parachutes silently through the sulphuric haze into the smouldering ruins of Berlin, past the Soviet troops who encircle the skeleton the city has become in the last days of April 1945. He is the man who will smuggle 'Herr Wolf' - the greatest war criminal in history - to safety. Less than twenty four hours later, Vasili Petrov, Stalin's top man - code name Berkut - leads a Russian team called the Special Operations Group into Berlin's city limits, making for the Reich Chancellory. Usually, he takes no prisoners - but he must take Hitler alive - and if he fails, it will mean certain death. Valentine, a larger-than-life rogue American OSS operative, is also hot on the trail when he realises that Herr Wolf is not only alive, but about to escape... We know a lot about Hitler's last days. We can speculate - but we don't know.
