      Devil's Shield: Explosive tank battles on the plains surrounding the Holy city of Aachen, and gritty close-quarters fighting through its dirty, bombed-out streets. Surrounded by the might of the Big Red One, has the embattled SS Wotan, led by the unwavering von Dodenburg, finally met its match? This is the second in the fictional series The Dogs of War, by Leo Kessler. In the grey September of 1944, Colonel von Dodenburg's SS battle group Wotan became the Fuhrer's Fire Brigade, the crack unit of the German Wehrmacht, to be thrown into any battle as a last desperate measure to redress the balance. As the Allied armies closed in on Germany's Holy City of Aachen, even the most optimistic said that Hitler's war was lost. Only Colonel von Dodenburg's black uniformed troopers, with their dreaded silver death's head badge, were convinced that they could still save the day.

      Follow the adventures of SS Wotan in the first installment of Leo Kessler's infamous Dogs of War series. The Vulture's eyes gleamed as he watched the exhausted men crawling up the slope through the slippery mud, under the knee-high barbed wire. It was 1942 and SS Assault Regiment Wotan was training and recuperating after its gruelling struggle in Russia. They were glad to be out of the fray for a bit, but it would not be for long until they were thrust back into action. For what none of those men, straining up the grassy slope under the eyes of their commander, knew was that already they had been singled out for a new mission. The German High Command knew that the British would launch an attack on Dieppe and the crucial element was time. There was only one regiment that could be trusted to get there fast enough to defend the vital coastal battery: the Soldiers of Wotan were on the move again.

      In Wotan's First Mission, von Dodenburg tackles the inpenetrable Fort Eben Emael. SS Assault Regiment Wotan was preparing for a mission so secret that it was known just by its codename, Zero. Only The Vulture, Major Horst Geier, knew that the objective was the key Belgian fortress guarding the junction of the River Meuse and the Albert Canal. It was the most impregnable stronghold in Europe and had to be taken, regardless of the cost in human lives, if Hitler's handpicked SS Panzer troops were to turn the flank of the Maginot line and force the phoney war to explode into the Blitzkrieg...

      Stormtroop Edelweiss: Previously titled "Blood Mountain". Hitler's orders were clear: prove to the entire world the might of the unstoppable Motherland by conquering the peak of Mount Elbrus piercing the sky between German and Russian lines.
