Description
On 20 July l944, Adolf Hitler escaped death by a miracle in a failed bomb. He found the conspirators, had them hung from meathooks and their executions filmed. Axel, Count von Gottberg, is one of those. Sixty years after his death, his old friend Elya Mendel leaves a legacy of papers and letters. And, with the legacy comes a mysterious duty.
