Bittersweet by Susan Wittig Albert

THE GERMAN ISCARIOT. .follows RAF pilot Martin Cohen's escape from Menzenschwand German Prison Camp, taking him to the British Embassy in a neutral Switzerland intent on profit by financing the Wehrmacht war machine. Master of four languages and mentored by MI6, Martin is secreted at the Berne Embassy as an 'ILEGAL', charged with investigating the disappearance of operatives from their 'escape line'. There he uncovers fraud, rivalry and murder, just as the Russian victory at Stalingrad raises doubts on whether Germany will win. Frauleins interfere, brilliant detective work; Martin discovers that a Nazi convoy is to transfer looted gold from a Zurich to a Lucerne bank. He encourages the UK, Russian and US Ambassadors to unite and open a SECOND FRONT. The convoy is hi-jacked. Civilians are killed, and the Swiss President DECLARES WAR on the UK. Colonel-General Strasser, (The German Iscariot) escapes death at the hi-jack; he plans vengeance and death to his enemies within and without the 3rd Reich.
