Forced March

Follow the adventures of SS Wotan in the first installment of Leo Kessler's infamous Dogs of War series.

The Vulture's eyes gleamed as he watched the exhausted men crawling up the slope through the slippery mud, under the knee-high barbed wire. It was 1942 and SS Assault Regiment Wotan was training and recuperating after its gruelling struggle in Russia. They were glad to be out of the fray for a bit, but it would not be for long until they were thrust back into action. For what none of those men, straining up the grassy slope under the eyes of their commander, knew was that already they had been singled out for a new mission. The German High Command knew that the British would launch an attack on Dieppe and the crucial element was time. There was only one regiment that could be trusted to get there fast enough to defend the vital coastal battery: the Soldiers of Wotan were on the move again.
