Munich, 1935. Eva Braun a maintenant une place dans la vie du führer. Une petite place, car le projet d’Hitler de redessiner la carte du monde en rétablissant l’honneur et la pureté du sang allemand laisse peu de loisirs à celui-ci. Toutefois, ces actions ne changent rien à l’admiration sans bornes qu’Eva lui voue. Le régime nazi en a fait une privilégiée. Voyages, vêtements luxueux, maison dans un quartier huppé, voiture et chauffeur font maintenant partie de son quotidien. Il lui reste aussi ses amis, sa mère et ses sœurs.

Cyril Marlen reconstructs how a handful of intelligence officers, printers, linguists, and airmen conspired to turn the Nazi postal system into an instrument of its own undoing. This is the story of how ink and paper became weapons, how forged stamps and counterfeit newspapers travelled through bombed-out rail yards and into German kitchens, and how the relentless craft of deception sought to undermine a regime that depended on the control of information.

I 1933 griber Adolf Hitler magten i Tyskland, hvor han har forført befolkningen med gyldne løfter om ro og orden samt en genrejsning af Det Stortyske Rige. Lige så elegant udnytter han de andre vestmagters angst for konfrontation til uhindret at opruste. Før naboerne aner uråd, rykker tidens mest moderne krigs-maskine over de grænser, der blev fastlagt efter 1. verdenskrig. Og Hitler står ikke alene. Han allierer sig med Mussolinis fascistiske Italien, Stalins kommunistiske Sovjetunionen og – på den anden side af kloden – militærdiktaturet i Japan, der har samme storhedsdrømme som Tyskland.

War is often remembered through the lens of soldiers, battles, and political leaders, but one of its most enduring human stories belongs to those too young to fight—the children. At the outbreak of the Second World War, governments across Europe launched evacuation programmes designed to protect their youngest citizens from the horrors of modern warfare. Operation Pied Piper in Britain uprooted nearly 1.5 million people in just a few days, most of them children carrying gas masks and small suitcases, their names tied to their coats like parcels.
