OPERATION NAPOLEON

In 1945, a German bomber containing both German and American officers crashed on a glacier in Iceland. It remained invisible until 1999, when the American military were heavy-handed in their determination to hush up the recovery operation. Narrator George Guidall is splendid. Along with his authentic pronunciation of a wide range of words and names, he perfectly captures the emotions and memories that the discovery stirs up. Kirstin, a lawyer, is outraged and takes on the Americans after her brother is killed when he inadvertently witnesses the cover-up. The action is nonstop as Kirstin challenges the entire military until she learns the truth about the plane's cargo. The conclusion delivers a final thrilling jolt.
