Читать книгу Cold Harbour - Jack Higgins, Justin Richards - Страница 6

My reputation for novels of the Second World War since the unprecedented success of The Eagle Has Landed means that fans constantly write asking for more. Cold Harbour was firmly based in fact. Both British and German forces during the war assumed the identity of the enemy. Many German planes flew for the RAF and many British planes were operated by the Luftwaffe. At least two U boats were operated by the Royal Navy. So the idea of Cold Harbour, the secret base in Cornwall where the planes were Luftwaffe and the ships were Kriegsmarine, took shape. I’ve been asked again and again to produce a sequel – who knows?
