On desperate ground
(Book)

A thrilling story of men and women caught up in the death throes of Nazi Germany, struggling to maintain those things precious to them--life, an end to killing, and even sanity itself. Colonel Johann Faust has lost everyone he ever loves and hears the voice of his dead fiancée as he perfects a plan to to save Nazi Germany from defeat. Captain Dieter Neukirk is more concerned with saving the lives of his remaining men while his lover, a social worker at a Berlin hospital, is providing medical care and papers to Jews in the city. American Captain Mack Mackenzie who is recovering from being wounded is assigned to investigate reports of a secret Nazi operation. Americans and Germans alike are drawn to a hilltop in the remote German countryside, where they find themselves between powerful armies and forced into terrible decisions that could end one war or begin a new one.
