Decorated by Hitler, stripped by Himmler, seduced by a nymphomaniac Countess, and relentlessly pursued by SS headhunters, Otto bluffs his way from bedroom to battlefield and back.

"Flashman for the Second World War" - Benjamin Lindley

It's the eve of World War II. With a mix of luck, charm and downright dangerous adventuring, Otto wangles his way out of the draft and into the Abwehr, Germany's MI5. Here Otto thinks he's safe from the war that's unfolding all around him, but a bungled assassination attempt will send him racing towards the Belgian border once again... only this time, it's turned into the front line.

Republished for the first time since their initial release, Otto Stahl's comic Adventures are now available on Amazon Kindle. Leo Kessler is the pseudonym of prolific WW2 author and historian Charles Whiting. Whiting uses his deep knowledge of the Second World War as the basis of the Kessler novels. Over three million Whiting books have been sold worldwide. If you've enjoyed Sven Hassel or Eric Meyer, sample some tongue-in-cheek war action courtesy of Leo Kessler.
