Operation: Alpine Fortress: Part One

Operation Alpine Fortress - Part One is a continuation of Jedburgh Team Abigail's gripping story in the book, Betrayal at St Etienne. Major John Hunt Morgan of the OSS and Captain Jane Wellesley of the SOE are resting at a Maquis mountain farm house after recently destroying the Gestapo headquarters in St Etienne. Their rest is short lived by General 'Wild Bill' Donovan, Director of the OSS, who has flown secretly into a secure, moonlit reception area, to discuss his need for Katiou Meynier, a Vietnamese Annanese Princess, to assist in establishing an intelligence network in the Tonkin Gulf in Japanese occupied Vietnam. General Donovan also alerts them to a future mission into the Alpine Mountains to determine if the German rumors are true that Hitler intends to retreat from Berlin to Southern Bavaria and to fight a final Gotterdammerung in the Alpine Mountains. Their mission became complicated, however, when they are tasked by British MI-6 to not only find and recruit a high ranking German Intelligence Officer who is hiding in southern Bavaria but to also find and interview a mysterious woman now staying at Berchtesgaden, the location of the Eagle's Nest, Hitler's Bavarian residence.
