THE INVASION
May 7, 1944. In the dark of predawn, across the Mexican border and into the sleepy, sparsely populated desert lands of the American Southwest rolls a convoy of military vehicles--half-track trucks, troop trucks, and tanks. The very few people awake to witness it assume the armored detail is an American Army recruiting drive out of Fort Bliss.
In fact, it is Operation Shatterhand, the master plan of a German officer who intends to conquer the Americans by dividing them in their own land.
When word reaches the government of the invading Germans, FDR wants the incident handled quietly, lest the American populace panic. Suddenly it is up to a handful of Indians--Navajo and Hopi, hereditary enemies--to find a way to stop the German incursion.
The Indians lost America once. They are not about to lose it again . . .

OPERATION: DUMMKOPF,
This review is from: Operation Shatterhand (Mass Market Paperback)
I like Jake Page.. Hay, don't call me.. I mean I like his schreiben (writing). At first I thought "what a dummkopf idea, but the more I read, the more I liked it and understood it. You see when Rommel was kicking esel in North Africa there was this British Major who lead a very small group of Desert Rats (remember the TV show ?) in hit and run warfare that had Rommel about nuts. Well, keep that in mind and Jake's book is easy to understand. But the Germans are lead by Herr Major General Heinrich Schalberg, a real schlemiel. Tonto sends word to FDR, 'Fritz is here', FDR (as he did with MacArther in Manilla,) replies...'hold the fort, help on the way' then he send one guy. Sure Frank. Well General schemiel has this real (censored)hole Sergeant who beat an Indian runner into a Big Mac. Now the boys are hot. The rest you'll have to read, a great ending. Hope to see more Alt. History from Jake Page.
