From time to time there appears a novel about
World War II that captures the imagination ot
everyone who reads it, and it becomes a major,
international best seller.
The Eagle Has Landed and Eye of the Needle
were such books.
Hammerstrike is another.
It is quite simply one of the best and most excit-
ing novels to come out of World War II--the en
thralling, dramatic account of a secret event that
might have changed the outcome of the war, and
perhaps almost did...
It is the autumn of 1942. The war is going badly
for the Germans. In a daring bid to win favor in
Hitler s eyes and to tip the scales of war, Reichs-
marschall Goering has instructed a brilliant and
heroic Luftwaffe ace, Generalmajor von Stuerz-
becher, to mastermind an ingenious plan for the
simultaneous mass escape of German POWs from
Britain.
Codenamed "Operation Hammer," this top-
secret plan embodies Hitler s hopes of throwing
British security into total disarray at a critical
moment in the war, thus giving Germany a chance
to regain the military initiative she has lost.
Von Stuerzbecher, is to be the chosen instru-
ment of Germany s brilliant thrust at the very heart
of the enemy--until he vanishes, together with
his secret, after a meeting with the Fuhrer.
Late in November, an attractive, daring and
undisciplined German officer, who speaks perfect
English, hears with amazement that the serious
charges of drunkenness and assault on which he
is being held in military prison are to be mysteri-
ously dropped. Instead, Oberleutnant Christian
Eicke, demoted from his rank in the Waffen SS,
disgraced and politically suspect, is urgently
summoned to SS Headquarters in Berlin.
Von Stuerzbecher, it is learned, has been shot
down and interned in Skiddaw POW camp, in the
north of England.
