ABOUT LAST FLIGHT TO STALINGRAD:
Berlin, 1942.
For four years, the men in field grey have helped themselves to country after country across Western Europe.

Werner’s boss, Joseph Goebbels, can sense it.
A small man with a powerful voice and coal-black eyes, Goebbels has a deep understanding of the dark arts of manipulation. His words, his newsreels, have shaken Germany awake, propelling it towards its greater destiny and he won't let—he can't let—morale falter now.
