My thanks to HM The King for kind permission to reproduce documents from The Royal Archives at Windsor Castle.

In 1945, a top secret mission was ordered by King George VI, a mission to help some of his German relatives, some of whom had been close to Hitler or had fought against the Allies. This mission was covered up until now, when, following exhaustive research, I finally found the truth, a truth that gives us a different and new perspective on Britain's wartime king.

Special thanks to Mr. Geoff Crump of the Cheshire Regiment Museum for all of his very kind research assistance. Thanks also to Gavin Gardiner for answering my questions regarding the McConnell shotguns.
