Story details for War Front: Turning Point
The successful German occupation of Great Britain marked a turning point in
the Second World War and irreversibly altered the course of the greatest
conflict known to man. Without the threat of RAF bombers, the Nazis could build
up a safe, unconcealed and highly effective infrastructure for the development
of nearly unstoppable super-weapons. The Americans could only answer the
impending threat by producing their own futuristic arsenal. This silent
technological cold war reached its boiling point when the Americans decided to
participate in the Liberation of Britain. Colonel John Lynch (an ex test-pilot
and engineer for the military ), best known for leading secret incursions
against Nazi research sites and superweapon plants all over Europe, has the
orders to aid the British by delivering some of the newest American weapons to
the frontline.
The battle for London is the first clash between
German and American super-technology. However, Lynch’s adventures aren’t over
with this victory. A mysterious assault commando is operating behind the
frontlines in allied territory, appearing out of nowhere, attacking British
research sites, killing or kidnapping scientists and then vanishing into thin
air. Lynch is chosen to deal with this threat by setting up a trap to kill or
capture the Nazi commando, at any cost. This operation raised more questions
than it answered when Lynch encountered the leader of this commando on the
battlefield…an enigmatic Russian woman of incredible beauty and ruthless
character. In the end, the commando is killed but Lynch barely survives the
incident and the woman manages to make an escape. According to Allied Command,
the Russian operative is Nadia Amanova, a highly dangerous double agent who
switched to the Nazi side years ago. Lynch suspects otherwise and smells a rat.
A big one. Could the Soviets be behind all this? But why would they kidnap
British scientists? Lynch wants to start his investigations right away, but
Allied Command plans otherwise. He is again given an unusual task…to free the
leader of the German Resistance, the man who can be the key to victory over
Hitler.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the war,
Oberstleutnant Roland Hellmann is performing his duties on the eastern front
working secretly for the German Resistance. He is fighting for a better Germany
that he thinks the leader of the Resistance, General Hardt will bring them.
Hellmann was the last man to talk to Hardt and hear his orders before the Nazis
captured the General. The orders were simple and noble, to rescue "a damsel in
distress,” a young German spy who was operating deep within the Soviet Union.
She returns home with disturbing evidence: the Russians are up to something big.
Lynch’s and Hellmann’s adventures become
intertwined from this point when they are brought together by the rescue of
General Hardt, the leader of the German resistance. Lynch has his doubts of the
Russians, Hellmann has the evidence. They agree that they have to end the war as
quickly as possible to prevent the Russians from pulling their final move,
whatever secret plans they have. And that means Lynch and Hellmann have to do
the unthinkable: they have to kill Hitler… together.
