Introduction Chapter l Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Epilogue De Nouveau Addendum DISCLAIMER Sections and parts of this novel have been based on historical fact, used fictionally. Where this has occurred, it is because the events and personages concerned have already been written about in newspapers and books of history and as such their names, and events with which they have been associated, have been in the public domain for some seventy years. Readers should not try to make literal connections between the characters of this work of fiction and their actions with persons living and or persons deceased, because this is not intended by the Author and is coincidental. Where well known and famous people have been portrayed as important protagonists in certain relevant scenarios to the fictional story, this is merely to strengthen the story line. That the particular scenarios may not have been recorded in official historical records does not mean that the particular scenario described did not in fact happen. During those very dangerous days of World War II, senior military officers had huge responsibilities and the nuances of their day-to-day activities were many and varied. It would not have been possible for a daily chronicle of every nuance and activity to be recorded by each senior officer or official. Therefore, any scene described by the Author could have, on balance, quite plausibly, taken place.
