When Darkness Fell: Their Darkest Hour

By Jay Johnson

An angry German teenager.
With a photographic memory.
A time machine.
Where can he start fresh?

Eighteen-year old Wolfgang Khouri paused his World War 2 video game and said, "Hitler was a dummkopf. I could have done better," and then went off to his regular mixed martial arts class. But when his scientist father invents a time machine to prevent his parents' painful divorce, Wolfgang invites his beautiful sister, Margot, and together they travel back in time to Munich, 1933.

On the way, and out of spite, Wolfgang and Margot drag Peter, their too-perfect Christian stepbrother, into the time machine with them and throw him into Dachau concentration camp. Nazis need Jesus too, Peter reasons, and escapes. Peter sets out to overthrow the Third Reich with love and his guitar.

As his perfectly designed Panzers blitz into western Europe, Wolfgang learns that Winston Churchill and the British Empire did not rise to power by playing fair.

This rough epic is divided into three parts:

Part 1 Move
In which Wolfgang and Margot infiltrate Hitler's inner circle and begin to direct Third Reich policies. Peter escapes from Dachau only to be swept up into the Reich Labor Service.

Part 2 Coil
In which Wolfgang gives the Third Reich's military, government, and economy an extreme makeover. I think you will approve of the new tank Wolfgang chooses for the Panzerwaffe, his new fighter plane design for the Luftwaffe, and his drastic reorganization of the Kriegsmarine. And I think you will wholeheartedly agree with his zeal in improving Germany's logistical base. My only real question is, did Wolfgang choose the correct rifle for the Heer? Email me through my webpage printed at the back of the book and let me know your thoughts. I know it is a small thing, but it still bothers me. Like a rock in my shoe. Margot, as Wolfgang's master spy, secures a large amount of Germany's most needed strategic resource. Peter comes of age and is conscripted into the Grossdeutschland Panzergrenadier Regiment as a Sanit ter or combat medic.

Part 3 Attack
In which Wolfgang directs the Nazi invasion of western Europe, Margot assassinates Germany's thorn in the flesh, and Peter crosses the Meuse in the attack on Sedan. Will God allow the birth of an Axis Union? Only Winston Churchill and his 'Operation Portcullis' stand in the way of Wolfgang's total victory.
