Purification

Like virtually every other POW holding facility in North America in Camp 359. buried deep in the Louisiana Bayou German prisoners are given clothes, food, shelter, recreational activity and a healthy helping of Democracy which is designed to de-Nazify them. So it appears in the press and to the brass anyway, though the reality of life there is far different due the corrupt wheelings and dealings of US Army Commandant Major Horatio Smith, who is anything but a loyal American dedicated to freedom and democracy. Challenging Smith and his secret pro-Nazi racist KKK agendas is Major Wilhelm Whitaker, a brilliant and compassionate German Army Doctor who, despite wearing a German uniform, is as anti-Nazi as one can be. But Whitaker has a secret past that he hopes and prays that remains hidden. By ‘coincidence’, Wilhelm’s half brother, a brutal, clever and brilliantly manipulative SS Officer, gets sent to the Camp, setting into motion events that not only threatens Whitaker’s attempts to save as many lives as he can, but also unleash a rein of Fascist terror that would destroy the very fabric of American Democratic life, even if the US forces in Europe win the War.
