Return to the Reich by Eric Lichtblau

 This the true story of Freddy Mayer, a Germany born Jew, who fled his home country just before the Nazi’s began rounding up the Jewish people. His family made their way to the United States and settled in Brooklyn.  As America entered the war, Freddy hoped to help his new country defeat the fascists and enlisted. He ended up becoming a commando spy for the newly formed OSS. Pleading for a mission, they teamed Freddy up with another Jewish radio operator and a turned Nazi officer. They were dropped in Austria, 200 miles behind enemy lines. This is their story.

This is a magnificent story of an unsung hero. It reads like a modern day thriller, dripping with danger and suspense. I am so happy I found this gem.
