Couldn't quite finish the book only because I became rather bored with it. Tad bit slow going. Interesting beginning with the discoverey of the mysterious death of a Polish woman. Three German generals were seriously being looked at from the investigators. But then suddenly the book turns to a completely different subject about a German soldier who survived an attack by Russians. Lots of dialog in the book and minimal action. If you like detailed books like Clancy and WEB Griffin then you might like this. Otherwise, don't waste your time and rent the 1960s movie version.

Nice premise but it takes too long to get anywhere and never really grips even when it does get going.
The use of reports/diary entries/letters just gets in the way and slows everything down too much.
