Story
May 1945. Hitler is dead, and the Third Reich is little more than smoking rubble. No GI wants to be the last man killed in action against the Nazis. But for cigar-chewing, rough-talking, hard-drinking, hard-charging Captain Jack Lee and his men, there is one more mission: rescue 14 prominent French prisoners held in an SS-guarded castle high in the Austrian Alps. It's a dangerous mission, but Lee has help from a decorated German Wehrmacht officer and his men, who voluntarily join the fight.

Great story, but the names make it hard to follow

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Any time we get to learn about those that triumphed during WWII, and their remarkable stories is time well spent.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
It was tough to discern all the foreign names. Because of this, it was hard to track the various characters throughout the book. I hate to say this, but perhaps use nicknames, or abbreviations of the names, to make it easier to track. Also, I enjoyed learning about the various backgrounds of each of the characters...but I would have preferred to hear more about the defense of the castle.
What about Joe Barrett’s performance did you like?
Well spoken. Easy to understand, even at various speeds.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Yes
