It is a fairly well known fact that the Nazis truly where looking for all sorts of artefacts during World War II.
It all stems from Heinrich Himmler's belief that the Nazis could find the mythical city of Atlantis, where, it was thought, a master race had lived and this would enable the Nazis to reinforce and legitimise their own Aryan master race claims.
Himmler created an SS unit called the Ahnenerbe (Ancestral Heritage), comprising archaeologists and scientists, scoured the globe hunting for proof of the lost Aryans of Atlantis.

Himmler created an SS unit called the Ahnenerbe (Ancestral Heritage), comprising archaeologists and scientists, scoured the globe hunting for proof of the lost Aryans of Atlantis.
He also had them working on another secret mission; securing the greatest prize of all - the Holy Grail. The archaeologist who started all of this was called Herman Wirth, a scholar of ancient religions.
It is from this that films like Raiders of the Lost Arc, to a certain extent Hellboy and more recently Captain America: The First Avenger have been born.
In all of these films you have something akin Herman Wirth but they usually end up looking more like the bespectacled Heinrich Himmler.
And so with that history in mind may I introduce you all to:
Prof. Walter Klein
He is a reluctant pawn, never intending to get caught up in the Nazi war machine. But it is he who locates the treasure that enables the Luftwaffe to summon dragons and use them in combat with the RAF. Although a reluctant pawn it also doesn't stop him from the corrupting influence of the power of magic. I'll say no more right now you can find out his role in the novel on 23 April.
