Nice article. But guy, you emailed me that you were sending me a free signed book, and it never came :-(

Well received in the post just now. I do look forward to reading it. I felt The Leader when I re-read it was great and I liked the little touches of the way he traveled round the UK and you described the locales. I'm not one for literature: I can cope with a hefty history tome but not hardcore literature, dunno why. But if this is anything like The Leader I'll enjoy it very much!

Haha that’s fine then. I was worried it got lost in the post. I actually genuinely re read The Leader in preparation, as it’s one of your other novels that you’re sending 😆

Truth is almost more interesting than fiction.

Someone needs to write a book (although I think an Italian may have done so on Merano and the Alto Adige (or Sud Tyrol as you may prefer); the place was rife with lovely people. Or at least pull all the information about the Merano/Rome/Genova connections.

Most organisations of former SS men were more interested in lobbying the West German government to pay them military pensions, than smuggle them to South America. The fact that many of the Nazis who did make it abroad lived in relative poverty, would also seem to mitigate against the existence of a secret organisation (of former SS men) bankrolling them.
