The amazing story of Fred (Fritz) Mayer, who was forced, with his family, when he was only a teen, out of Frieberg Germany barely before it might have been too late to escape Nazi murder. Fred joins the US Army and, near the end of the war, has become a member of Wild Bill Donovan's OSS. He and two others, (another Jewish refugee and a Nazi deserter) are air dropped into Nazi ridden Tyrolea Austria and “Freddy” performs feats of courage with chutzpah (his word) and style and with no thought for his own safety. A remarkable man who found Hitler's bunker, keyed the bombing of supply trains including a massive convoy of weapons, and who bluffed the Tyrolean nazi leader to surrender Innsbruck to the allies. It would be absurd if it were not also true. The writing was sufficient, Freddy was magnificent.
