About Leo Kessler

Despite the dangers that came with targeting such a fortress, the Vulture and a few like him knew that the stronghold had to be taken no matter the cost. However, to even attempt the mission, SS Panzer troops had to be handpicked by Hitler first before undergoing intense training. The author has done a good job of merging fact with fiction and vividly describing the scenes, and bringing them to life. All characters are well fleshed out, and it is amazing following them through their life journeys through the uncertain times. This book takes you back to WWII and its never-ending action. The story introduces the likes of The Vulture and Major Geir, among other officers who played a part in crushing the Maginot line. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of SS Wotan Books series, Leo Kessler has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
