The Wehrmacht Strikes Back

After shattering the French armies in a lightning blitzkrieg campaign, the Germans turn their attention on Gibraltar as part of their new Mediterranean or strategic policy, a concept based on overrunning Egypt, then moving east and south, capturing the Persian Gulf area, as well as all East Africa in an alliance with France. After moving their forces down through neutral Spain, they soon engage the powerful British fortress guarding the Strait of Gibraltar, long a symbol of British power and dominance. Will the Germans now succeed using their mighty Luftwaffe to combat the British Navy, seize Gibraltar and push on toward Egypt with a view of conquering the Persian Gulf, East Africa, and move into a position to outflank the powerful Soviet Union from the south? Or will the British, with motorized infantry troops, massive fleet, and modern air force, be able to halt the panzer units should they take Gibraltar and stop them? Be the first to read about attempts by the French to get the aircraft carrier Béarn home from Martinique, the huge naval battle between the British and French fleets, and Italian efforts backed up by their colonial troops to take the Anglo-Sudan, British Somaliland, and Kenya with exciting land, sea, and air battles. You will be held speechless and spellbound as you follow the heavy action and its suspense as everything unfolds before your eyes.
