The Second Objective

Mark Frost

The idea of Nazi spies behind the lines during World War II remains a potent plot device, especially if, as in Ken Follett’s classic Eye of the Needle (1978), the Germans are at least partially sympathetic figures. Frost, who wrote several successful thrillers before turning to golf history (The Greatest Game Ever Played, 2002), draws on the Follett model but introduces several wrinkles of his own. The plot is based on recently declassified documents relating to Operation Greif, a Nazi scheme to send English-speaking Germans, dressed as American GIs, behind the lines in the days prior to the Battle of the Bulge. The plan was to disrupt the Allied response to the German counterattack, but there was a “second objective”: send a smaller group of commandos to France to assassinate Eisenhower. Frost builds on the facts by fleshing out the story of two of the would-be assassins: Bernie Oster, an American-born German whose parents returned to the fatherland in 1938, and Erich Von Reinsdorf, a diplomat’s son who went on to become an SS officer at Dachau. Bernie wants no part of fighting Americans, but Von Reinsdorf is the real deal: a stone-cold killer trying to live down the fact that his father was part Jewish. Is Bernie, a mere auto mechanic, soldier enough to save Ike? Frost builds the characters beautifully, including a parallel story involving two American MPs, and, like Follett, he somehow manages to generate incredible suspense in the face of historical fact. This is a top-notch blend of espionage tradecraft and pulse-pounding action adventure.
