Millions of German soldiers and SS men are held captive in primitive conditions in open-air detention centres. Everywhere, civilians are desperate for food and shelter. No one admits to having voted Nazi, yet many are unrepentant. Adolf Hitler is said to have killed himself in his Berlin bunker. But no body was found - show more and many people believe he is alive.

Enter Tom Wilde - the Cambridge professor and spy sent in to find out the truth... show lessTags

Intriguing proposition, based on some known facts and key players, posits Hitler might have escaped his bunker. Tom Wilde, Cambridge academic and former WW2 OSS member is persuaded to try and track down if Hitler did escape and if so where is most likely. A plot peopled with real characters like Walter Schellenberg, famous for his liaison with Coco Chanel, Bill Donovan and Allen Dulles.
