Placing the A9/A10 on top of the even more powerful A11 stage gives a rocket capable of reaching earth orbit. Hitler himself is rumoured to have decided on the name: ‘Germania’. In 1950, the Germania rocket propelled the first man into Earth orbit. After that achievement, the next goal was to build the huge A12 stage. The A9/A10/A11/A12 ‘Europa’ can place a ten-tonne payload into orbit, enabling Germany to build its space station.

The ‘Katzchen’ (Kitten) was fully-tracked for greater mobility, but open-topped, thinly-armoured and armed only with a machine gun. Field experience proved that the Katzchens were too vulnerable and lacked adequate armament. To replace them, the Wehrmacht issued a new, heavier carrier based on Panther running gear, called the ‘Griffon’.

Terry Irving , author of Courier,wrote a very positive A Kill in the Morning review, praising the scenario, the characters the action and the plot… everything except the cover, which he hated for some reason. Still I guess that’s better than liking the cover and hating the novel!
