Assignment: PEENEMUNDE: A WWII Novel of Naval Intelligence and Spies

By Peter J. Azzole

July 1943 - Navy Captain Tony Romella is deployed to Sweden with several Morse and voice radio intercept operators. The mission is to collect signals from the Peenemunde Army Research Center on the northeast tip of Germany. There is a sharp focus on a version of Hitler's harrowing V1 vengeance weapon being developed and tested as an aircraft-launched anti-ship flying bomb. Hitler wants the V1 operational in time to thwart an Allied landing through a massive rocket bombing of ports in southeast England and London. The anti-ship version would be a critical threat to Allied ships poised to deliver troops to French soil. Tony's challenge is to gather technical intelligence urgently needed to develop countermeasures. Unexpected impediments to the mission are military politics, international diplomatic entanglements, zealous Gestapo officers, and thorny technical challenges. These lead to several intriguing branches and twists in the story. There are times when a communications intelligence officer does not lead a quiet life in a secure office. Step into Tony's shoes once more and see how they fit.
