Hanged For Hitler

Hanged For Hitler by Andrew Drummond is a meticulously researched work of WWII history that reads with the drive of true crime, following two very different men who ended up on the same grim path: execution for espionage.

Drawing on archival sources and once top secret intelligence files, Drummond traces how Karel Richter and Theodore John Schurch were recruited into German intelligence and pulled deeper into Hitler’s shadow war. One is sent into England on a single, high-stakes mission tied to suspicion inside the Abwehr itself. The other is radicalised in Britain, then recruited and deployed from within the British Army, with consequences that stretch across North Africa and Italy.

Perfect for readers of military history, espionage, wartime Britain and moral grey zones, this is a sharp look at ideology, betrayal and security under pressure.
