1945, un agente secreto salta en paracaídas sobre los Alpes para ejecutar una misión decisiva en territorio nazi. Su éxito o fracaso marcará para siempre la victoria de los Aliados. Nacido en Alemania, Fred Mayer fue testigo del ascenso de los nazis al poder. Cuando tenía 16 años, él y su familia, de origen judío, pudieron huir a Estados Unidos justo antes de que Hitler ordenara cerrar las fronteras. Después del ataque a Pearl Harbor, intentó enlistarse en el ejército de su nuevo país y lo rechazaron por su nacionalidad alemana.

Based on years of research and interviews with Mayer himself, whom the author was able to meet only months before his death at the age of 94, Return to the Reich is an enlightening, unforgettable narrative of World War II heroism.

For the first time, once-secret government records and interviews tell the full story of the thousands of Nazis—from concentration camp guards to high-level officers in the Third Reich—who came to the United States after World War II and quietly settled into new lives. Many gained entry on their own as self-styled war “refugees.” But some had help from the U.S. government. The CIA, the FBI, and the military all put Hitler’s minions to work as spies, intelligence assets, and leading scientists and engineers, whitewashing their histories.
