Truce at Nueviant (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781462042982)

In 1944, allied forces have broken out of the Normandy hedgerows. Allied and Axis units are scattered across the French countryside. American units are advancing faster than the Germans can retreat. And in a small stand of trees, a unit of panzer grenadiers surrounds twenty-eight-year-old Sergeant Franz Weselmann. As he rubs his chin and studies his sector map, the remaining six members of his squad wait for an answer. Everyone is counting on Sergeant Weselmann to lead them to friendly territory. Meanwhile, an ambushed American platoon, cut off by superior German forces and surrounded by thick forests, decides to take a dirt road with the hope it will lead the twelve-man patrol to safe ground. As Lieutenant Jack Wallace and his unit arrive in the village of Nueviant, they have no idea that a chance meeting with German forces will soon prove that survival depends on trusting and fighting together against a common enemy-a one-hundred plus unit of SS Gestapo led by a ruthless commander bent on revenge. In this historical war thriller, two enemies have no choice but to partner together to defeat a common foe. The stakes are high-either the men succeed or die.
