Last Great Secret of Third Reich, pb

In 1945, as the war in Europe ground to a halt, the largest submarine in the German navy was headed to Japan, carrying the plans, fuses and enough raw materials for a dozen nuclear bombs. Time had run out for experimental testing. This is the true story of a daring submarine captain and an Air Force general who defied Nazi orders, delivering their nuclear payload to the Americans instead of the Japanese - a course of action that very well may have changed the outcome of the war in the Pacific, saved millions of lives, and altered the course of modern history; a story lost in top secret files and documents - until now.

Had the officers and crew of the U-234 obeyed orders, Los Angeles and San Francisco might have been the first nuclear bomb targets. The Americans would have been the first nuclear bomb targets. The Americans would have been the ones agreeing to unconditional surrender, entering a world order with the emperor of Japan calling the shots.

We can only guess what might have been, but at least we should acknowledge the role played by Captain Johann Heinrich Fehler and his crew in changing the course of modern history. This is their story.
