Description

Paris during WW2, June 1942: can six modern special forces operators silence the German command in occupied Paris with four demolition charges? There's no resupply and no extraction on demand, and one rule comes before all the others: nobody fires a shot the city can hear, because every German who dies loudly is paid for in French hostages. Mike follows the team through four nights and four targets, from a dispatch rider off the Hotel Majestic to the radio room in the Hotel Meurice, with a tier rating for the command net after each act. Hunting them is Karl Oberg, the SS police chief who has just taken over security under the German occupation of France. The WW2 history behind it is the real record: the Gestapo and security police never had more than three thousand men for all of occupied France, while the French police numbered around a hundred thousand, and the direction-finding vans sweeping for French Resistance radios have nothing to find. When the truck pulls away with six hostages, is holding fire the right call or the one the team leader carries for life?
