First, a quick note on the title. Some might be thinking that the proper title would be The Nazis’ Engineer (and still some The Nazis’s Engineer), but both would be incorrect. The title refers to a singular Nazi, not the Nazis as a group, making the title grammatically correct. And that singular Nazi, of course, was Konrad, the museum administrator’s go-to guy for whenever he needed someone.
This book was a lot of fun to write, especially the historical elements. I’ve always been a history buff, particularly when it comes to World War II and the European campaign. Having lived in Germany in my youth for seven years, and my father a history major, we traveled throughout the continent, visiting places such as Normandy, the Maginot Line, and other famous battle sites.
The history was unavoidable, and I loved it.
As usual, there are people to thank. My dad for all the research, Michael Heintz and those who participated on Facebook in choosing a video game for our bad guys to be playing (follow me on Facebook to participate in these things), William Viktora for some Czech help, Brent Richards for some weapons info, “Captain” Fred Newton for some nautical terms, and Greg “Chief” Michael for some metal detector info. And, as usual, my wife, daughter, and mother, as well as the proofreading and launch teams.
