It's been a State secret for more than 70 years: The official line
in the UK has always been that it never happened - but this new
work challenges the assertion that no German force set foot on
British soil during World War Two (the Channel Islands excepted),
on active military service. Churchill's Last Wartime Secret reveals
the remarkable story of a mid-war seaborne enemy raid on an Isle of
Wight radar station. It describes the purpose and scope of the
attack, the composition of the raiding German force and how it was
immediately, and understandably, 'hushed-up' by Winston Churchill's
wartime administration, in order to safeguard public morale.
Circumventing the almost complete lack of official British archival
documentation, the author relies on compelling and previously
undisclosed first-hand evidence from Germany to underpin the book's
narrative and claims; thus distinguishing it from other tales of
rumoured seaborne enemy assaults on British soil during the 1939-45
conflict. After examining the outcome and repercussions of this
astonishing incident, what emerges is an event of major symbolic
significance in the annals of wartime history.
