The story starts when Heintje Westerveldt, Assistant High Commissioner for Protection and Operations of the UNHCR United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees receives an assignment to the Swiss headquarters. Heintje has a few vacation days to take before loosing them so she decided to return to her home town to visit with her mother still living in her West Friesland hometown of Sneek. On the flight from New York to Amsterdam, she has flashbacks about her very unhappy youth in that city. These flashbacks re-ignite all of the frustrating and heartbreaking treatment she received from her so-called friends at school when she was 10 years old. She remembered her letter to the Queen of Holland that started her mistreatment by her school friends mocking her because she wrote to the Queen asking that her father could get a job to help her poor family. The Queen's secretary had published letters written by children to the queen. Discussing old times with her mother and Gisla she obtained the only copy of the book published by the Queen's secretary kept secretly by Gisla's father because all other copies were gathered up by agents of the BVD. Heintje's mother read her letter and some of the other letters. She was struck by something special and troubling in several letters. Heintje was no specialist but she could see that there were hidden messages in the letters. "Odessa carried out partially. Stechovice not found, wrong codes." In Geneva Heintje met a colleague Charles-Edouard de Montembert-Marquis de Bussac and told him about the curious message for which she was not responsible. Charles-Edouard introduced Steve Santa to Heintje. Steve agrees to help Heintje solve the mystery and clear her name of whatever this was. They found that Odessa was a plan for smuggling high ranking Nazis out of Germany at the end of the WWII. The reference to Stechovice concerned a war treasure hidden in Stechovice in the Czech Republic and which had never been found. Heintje and Steve go to Stechovice to see if they could find out something. Heintje was kidnapped and drugged by Dutch secret service members to find out what she knew. Steve and Heintje go to the Vatican library in Rome to get more information then back to Nijmegen Holland to meet a journalist who had en extensive knowledge of the Black Nobility. The Black Nobility was a parallel organization to the Committee of 300 which wanted to rule the world by subversion. The journalist mentions of members of the Black Nobility in Andorra in the next week. In Andorra they are surveyed by the Bilderberg Group security men and there is a fight. Back to Paris, Ping returns from China. Heintje asks Charles-Edouard to take her with him for the birthday celebration of the Duke of Paris at Notre Dame Cathedral and the festivities at Versailles. There she is presented to the Duke of Paris who is impressed by her and instructs the Marquis Gilbert and Kendra Trebol de Montalembert to entertain Heintje. The couple invites her to their chateau Aymeri le Marquis. Heintje goes to the ch teau Aymeri le Marquis with Ping as her handmaid. Ping profits by learning the existence of a limestone quarry under the chateau where the Marquis stores his Chablis wine. Steve remembers that it was a German aircraft repair facility in 1944. Steve informs his local friends about the mystery and they decide to investigate the limestone quarry together. They had solid suspicions that the Stechovice treasure and the Charter would be stored there. Steve, his local friends, Ping and Heintje make a midnight raid on the Quarry.

While doing research on the Internet concerning an article he is writing, Steve comes upon a startling and little known fact concerning the French 2nd Armored Division and the German 33rd Waffen SS Charlemagne Division that occurred at the end of the war. The German 33rd Waffen French SS Charlemagne Division is composed of Frenchmen who joined the German army. A patrol of 20 French Waffen SS of the Charlemagne Division surrendered without trying to fight to the US American army. These men were transferred to the control of the French 2nd Armored Division. The French SS tried to escape by fear of reprisals. They finally are captured in a small forest, encircled by two French companies. General Leclerc will question them. Asked about their German uniforms, they replied: "And you, you have an American uniform " Judging their attitude insolent, the General decides to execute them. The execution will take place, on May 9 1945. His curiosity brings him to ask his friend in Sacy the Colonel who was in the French 2nd Armored Division and in Bad Reichenhall at that exact time. The Colonel confidentially tells Steve that not all 20 French prisoners were shot because he knew for certain that a squad of 8 men escaped and were never captured or ever heard of again. Their names were Conrad Heintz, Kaufmann, K hler, Kurt Bischwiller, Louie Haguenau, Xavier Baysinger and Georges Ribbonet all from Mulhouse and Kurt Dammerskirch It was most likely they headed for the German army still in west Czechoslovakia where the German 7th Army controlled the sector. For Steve this was too close to the city of Stechovice where the SS had hidden the war loot they had gathered during the war. Having participated in the discovery and retrieval of part of the Stechovice treasure, Steve had a hunch that the escaped squad must have participated in the evacuation of the remainder of the treasure somewhere else like Argentina where the Rat Line had assisted many high ranking SS officers. Steve starts researching the escapees and finds clues to their whereabouts through a magic circle that he must interpret. Steve and Ping follow the clues one by one looking for the escapees and the remainder of the Stechovice treasure. Their search takes them to various places in France and especially Peru and Brazil.

As the last soldiers of World War II say their goodbyes, the stories of their experiences go with them. Have you ever wondered what WW II was REALLY like?

Based on a war diary kept by a Signal Corpsman during his nearly 3 years of duty and brought to life with his photographs and postcards, this book will introduce you to the day in and day out activities during the war. With historical context and perspective of the war added to the journal entries, you will come to know and understand what survival at war was really like.
