The latest character addition to Hitler’s Spy Part 1 will be Arminius, the Hermann the German character. How so? You say he lived in the early years AD and Hitler was around in the twentieth century? But Hitler admired him. Arminius drew a proverbial line in the sand. He said the Romans could go so far but no farther. The settled the Rhine Valley but Arminius stopped them from progressing onward to the Elbe River around modern day Hamburg. Hitler thought he was defying the Locarno Treaty signed by France and England that prevented him from sending his armies into the Rhine Valley area because it was too close to France. He thought he was imitating Arminius, or Hermann the German, by pushing pugnaciously onward toward the French border and the borders of the Low Countries. Hitler, like Arminius two thousand years before him, was a great advocate of German nationalism.
Read the scene where Hitler meets Hermann the German in Hitler’s Spy Part 1 soon to be published by Edward Ware Thrillers at War, an imprint of Cheops Books.
