The story's point of departure comes on 19 February 1943 at a Wehrmacht command council in Ukraine, when Field Marshall Erich von Manstein kills Adolf Hitler in response to an insult. In short order, Hitler's successors make a separate peace with the Soviet Union, and are able to keep the Western Allies from gaining a toe-hold in Italy and France, causing World War II to end in a stalemate. The Cold War becomes a three-way conflict, with the United States and Britain jostling against Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

abstract	The story's point of departure comes on 19 February 1943 at a Wehrmacht command council in Ukraine, when Field Marshall Erich von Manstein kills Adolf Hitler in response to an insult. In short order, Hitler's successors make a separate peace with the Soviet Union, and are able to keep the Western Allies from gaining a toe-hold in Italy and France, causing World War II to end in a stalemate. The Cold War becomes a three-way conflict, with the United States and Britain jostling against Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The action of the story picks up in 1979 as two British agents travel to fascist Croatia to meet with a Serb partisan, seeking British arms. In truth, the Brits are there to entrap the partisan, and arrange for his capture and arrest by Croatian authorities, in exchange for their country having access to oil in the North Sea without German interference.
