Germany during the 1930s was a grim place for those unemployed and not associated with the rising Nazi Party. The Jews, who had contributed immensely to the culture and economics of that society were being portrayed as the cause of its downfall, as economic instability threatened to destroy the country. Blamed for the fact that Germany was almost bankrupt from paying compensation to the Allies as a result of losing WW1, the resultant brutalising of the Jewish population was seen as ridding the country of blood-sucking parasites.
For Rolf von Breusch, raised in Edinburgh, these events boded well for his return to his Homeland to become a cadet in the Weimar Army, where he became Dux of the Academy through one of the first of his many treacherous acts.
Deployed to Hamburg in 1938, Rolf''s ultimate ambition was achieved as a Lieutenant in the Reich Chancellery - where the darkness of his deeds matched the colour of his soul.
A story of betrayal, murder and unimaginable power at the highest level.
