THEY DARED RETURN

It's July 1943. Frederick Mayer, a German-born Jew is recruited to secretoperations unit, the OSS. Along with 4 other German-Jews, he volunteers forbehind-enemy-lines operations. All have family members in concentrationcamps. All want revenge.Mayer and his comrades are dropped into the 'Alpine Redoubt' area ofAustria, where Hitler plans to gather his SS units and make a desperatelast stand against the Allies. This is the most heavily-policed area of theThird Reich, swarming with Gestapo. Capture means certain death; and forFred and the other Jews, it means a horrible death. Yet under Hitler's nosethis tiny army blows up trains, steals secrets and even impersonates Germanofficers.Eventually Mayer is captured and tortured by the Gestapo, but still he doesnot break. Meanwhile the Allies are approaching, sounding the end for NaziGermany. Mayer, in his greatest act of chutzpah, convinces his tormentor,the commander of German forces in Innsbruck, to surrender his forces tohim, convincing the officer that it would be better to surrender early thanrisk being shot defending a lost cause.This is a great World War Two story of derring-do and revenge. And it'snever before been told.
