Really enjoyed this book.  While it was rather long, the switching from the British to German sides kept up the suspense.  It is true that the "Auxiliaries" in Britain were tasked with behind-the-lines activity if the Nazis had invaded;  also true that they were given lists of local police, etc who knew their names & other important info.  If the Germans came, these auxiliaries were ordered to kill them, even tho they were fellow Brits.  There have been a couple of TV documentaries in which surviving auxiliary members were interviewed, told their stories, & showed the few surviving hiding places used for weapons, food, etc.  Really an ingenious system.  As a student of history, I found the portrayals of the major real-life characters (Hitler, Churchill, Montgomery, Rommel, etc) to be quite accurate.  Highly recommend this one!
