Publisher's summary
October 1944.
As World War Two draws towards its conclusion, a Nazi defeat begins to seem almost inevitable. But that might be about to change...
Two intruders are captured in the grounds of Colditz Castle, the most secure Prisoner of War camp in Germany.
At first, the guards think they're dealing with British spies. But the strangers arrived in an advanced travelling machine, the like of which they've never seen before.
With this "TARDIS" in their hands, the Third Reich might triumph after all...

Notes
- The character Feldwebel Kurtz is played by David Tennant, who portrayed the Tenth Doctor in the BBC Wales series.
- The character of Elizabeth Klein returns as a companion-cum-ally in adversity to the Seventh Doctor in BFA: A Thousand Tiny Wings.
- It is unknown to what extent Klein’s erasure from the timeline in The Architects of History altered the events of this story. It was briefly mentioned by the new version of Klein that the Doctor had visited Colditz Castle in 1944, but his experiences there must have been substantially different due to the absence of the original Dr. Klein.
