In the last weeks of the war, clerks across the collapsing Reich burned orders, blueprints, bank records and lists of names, day and night. Other files were carried off by the victors and sealed for decades. The Allied breaking of Enigma, perhaps the greatest intelligence achievement of the war, was not revealed to the public until 1974.
What remains is a record full of gaps. Some stories are fully documented and declassified. Others rest on a single witness, are still debated by historians, or are surrounded by conflicting accounts that were never resolved.
This collection walks through both: the secret operations, espionage and deception we now know took place, and the legends that grew in the spaces the archives left empty. Each case sets out the evidence, the doubts, and what is still unknown.
A remarkable WWII story usually turns up as a footnote, a documentary aside or a single paragraph in a thick book, and then disappears. Following it means digging through:
This collection gathers 76 of those cases into one coherent reading experience: eight parts, each chapter self-contained, each with the context you need.
Every theme below is drawn from real chapters in the Complete Edition.

Seventy-six cases organised into eight parts, from the war's most famous mysteries to the long aftermath that governments preferred to bury.

A shorter introduction for readers who want to start with the war's most talked-about mysteries: Die Glocke, the Foo Fighters, the flight of Rudolf Hess, the Amber Room, the U-boats that surrendered in Argentina, and ten more. Each is examined as fact or legend in a 38-page PDF you can finish in an evening.
The Second World War ended more than eighty years ago, and yet we are still finding out what really happened. That is a strange thing to say about the most documented conflict in human history…
This book is about the secrets that survived — the ones that were buried, hidden, disputed, denied or simply lost in the chaos of the war's end.
