Two house servants from the Obersalzberg share an incredible story: Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun had a son, Siegfried, whom Hitler had executed towards the end of the Nazi regime. A thrilling novel that explores the roots of evil.

It is the winter of 1945, the last dark days of World War II in occupied Holland. A Nazi collaborator, infamous for his cruelty, is assassinated as he rides home on his bicycle. The Germans retaliate by burning down the home of an innocent family; only twelve-year-old Anton survives. Based on actual events, The Assault traces the complex repercussions of this horrific incident on Anton's life. Determined to forget, he opts for a carefully normal existence: a prudent marriage, a successful career, and colorless passivity. But the past keeps breaking through, in relentless memories and in chance encounters with others who were involved in the assassination and its aftermath, until Anton finally learns what really happened that night in 1945—and why.

The narrative presents a gripping thriller centered around the provocative idea that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun had a child. As the story unfolds, it explores the implications of this revelation, delving into themes of identity, legacy, and the shadows of history. The author weaves suspense with vivid storytelling, inviting readers to question the past and its impact on the present.
