April 1945. The Second World War is drawing to an end, but the fighting - and suffering - is still intense. Fanatical Nazis plan a destructive, bloody last stand in Hitler's favourite city, Munich, the cradle of Nazism. But one man stands in their way.Rupprecht Gerngross was a former solicitor from Munich, and student at the London School of Economics. He was known for being mild-mannered and a curious blend of courage, conscience and cunning recklessness. It was a combination that drove him into the path of great danger - but one that he felt was necessary to achieve his dream of democracy and freedom.What was he to do? Keep his head down until the Allies arrived, and risk losing his city and his family in Hitler's last stand? Or risk everything more directly by showing that the Nazis never spoke for everyone in Germany, by liberating the city himself.This is the untold story of an improbable hero and an uprising that became "the only successful military putsch against the Third Reich".It tells a story that was suppressed at the time by the British Foreign Office because the Allies did not want news circulating about 'good Germans'.THIS IS AN UPDATED EDITION WITH NEW MATERIAL AND NEW PICTURES. "A gripping true story, which holds lessons for us today." - Richard Foreman. "This is a true story that reads as thrillingly as fiction." - David Boyle
