Kruger's Korps

It’s lugers and panzers in a deadly game of espionage with an American spy behind enemy lines in World War II.Name: Rolf Kruger Rank: Ensign, US Navy Assignment: Intelligence Officer to Colonel William “Wild Bill” Donovan, director of the Office of Strategic Services, to serve as an OSS spy. Mission: Infiltrate a top—secret Afrika Korps unit. The Stakes: Perhaps the outcome of the war. Operation Torch is about to get underway: the Allied invasion of northwest Africa. The Germans know this, and a secret Afrika Korps unit is at work. Allied officials are unsure of the unit’s purpose—but they fear the worst. For the British, the nightmare scenario is a Nazi—instigated Islamic jihad—and a strike against the Suez Canal. For the Americans, the looming danger is Vichy France—Nazi Germany’s ally—hurling artillery shells and spitting machine gun bullets against the American landings in Algeria and Morocco. And there is another risk: The possible development of a supersecret weapon, somewhere in Africa, by a mysterious SS military engineer. Rolf Kruger, a German—born but American—raised OSS agent is sent on a daring mission to impersonate a German officer newly assigned to the secret Afrika Korps unit, uncover the unit’s purpose, and foil it. His friends are few, the dangers are many, and his loyalties will be tested in a crucible of war—and a deadly competition of spies.
