Kuehn, Douglas Addlestone Chronicles. #bk. 1

Read by Hannibal Hills

Adolph Hitler came to power in January 1933 after being appointed Chancellor by Paul von Hindenburg, the president of Germany. The implications for European stability were not lost on the British Secret Intelligence Service. They initiated a programme to increase the number of agents, recruited primarily from the ranks of Oxford and Cambridge University students. In this novel, James Harcourt-Heath and Louise de la Béré are final year undergraduates at Cambridge in 1935. Although a couple, they were independently recruited by the Secret Service, to train as agents. Their covert assignments take them to Paris, Munich, Vienna and Berlin as the prospect of war becomes more evident and dangerous. Their initial confrontation with the Germans is in southern England where they disrupt the Nazi programme called Lebensborn. Later, they encounter a Nazi cell in Addlestone whose aim was to steal British military secrets
