Stalin’s Dog Army:
1941, Hitler’s troops blitzkrieg their way into Russia. Planes, tanks, troops advance on a level never seen before. But Stalin’s Soviet army had a top secret weapon to help defeat the might of the Germans dreaded Panzer tanks; the bomb dog. But has mans’ best friend just become his worst enemy?

Hunt For Nazi Gold:
Stories of lost gold have always attracted adventures and treasure hunters but even more so when the gold belongs to Hitler’s high command. At the end of the German’s campaign in North Africa rumours start to spread about a vast haul of looted gold stolen from their Jewish victims. According to the legends it lies hidden off the coast of Corsica by Nazi U-boats. Armed with new clues and fresh evidence some investigators think the fabled Rommel’s gold is about to be found.

Nazi Close Encounters:
During the Battle of Britain both the public and the military are on high alert. Paranoia is rife about German spies infiltrating every level of British society. Mysterious markings start to appear all over Britain, prompting MI5 to launch an investigation. Could these bizarre crop circles and signs prove the enemy is in our midst? Or could they show forces greater than the Germans are at work?

Game of Spies:
In the weeks before the devastating Japanese attack on the American Navy stationed at Pearl harbour, a strange advert appeared on the pages of the New Yorker magazine. At the time little attention was paid to the advertisement promoting the dice game ‘The Deadly Double’, but following the Japanese attack the public started to speculate. Was it a secret code meant for Japanese sleeper agents in the USA to warn them of the upcoming attack? Or is the wording and pictures of the advert just an unfortunate coincidence?
