A German-speaking South African sportsman who competes in the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, remains in Germany after the Games to join the Luftwaffe, the German Air Force. He falls in love with his instructor's sister and marries her. During the Second World War, he serves as a pilot in bomber units and survives various near brushes, until he and his wife escape with his aircraft in July 1944 to neutral Turkey, due to his wife's indirect involvement with the assassination attempt on Hitler.

Industry Reviews

“Scholtz certainly knows how to create credible and intriguing characters and plots. He recreates the world of a South African pilot who drifts into the Nazi war machine and who has to come to grips with his own fears, beliefs, and love for his wife, who is indirectly involved in the plot to assassinate Hitler. Thoroughly recommended!”
—Alexander Higgs, journalist

“Adelbert Scholtz, with his brilliant academic record, surely knows how to write historical fiction. His stories are solidly structured, reliably researched, and eminently entertaining. He is able to recreate the past with words, and as a qualified psychologist and retired military chaplain, he creates credible characters who have to make difficult decisions in a chaotic war situation. He is destined to become a best-selling author of fiction.”
—Jan Nieder-Heitmann, theologian
