Attacking
FDR & Churchill
Description
The 15th Air Force, based in Italy, discovers that the Germans have installed a new, high range and extremely accurate radar system in the Alps right on the flight path the bombers use on their way deep into Germany. It will provide early warning to the Luftwaffe and there are hundreds of newly installed flak cannons there as well. U.S. Army Master Sergeant Tom Dunn and his squad of lethal Rangers are tasked with destroying the radar site.
Meanwhile, Intelligence learns that the Germans are using two Swedish flagged cargo ships to refuel and rearm their U-Boats, which are still running amok in the North Atlantic. British Commando Sergeant Major Malcolm Saunders and his squad are to travel to the neutral country, board the ships, and sink them. And, of course, escape.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill agree to meet for a private conference to detail the rest of the war in Europe, where the Allies are making good progress against the Germans. They select the Mediterranean island Sardinia because it’s in American hands after driving off the Germans the year before, so it should be plenty safe. Or is it?
Intelligence confirmed that a sizable German force has secretly landed on the island with orders to kill both the president and prime minister. Because it’s too late to move them from their thought-to-be-secret villa, Dunn and Saunders, having recently returned from their earlier missions, are suddenly cast into the role of a head of state protection detail, joining the U.S. Secret Service and Churchill’s famed bodyguards. Can the two men set up a defense at the villa in time to save the lives of the two most powerful leaders of the free western world?
