Présentation de l'éditeur
In 1942 the German trawler Sachsen set sail. Heavily armed and equipped, their mission was to set up a weather station in eastern Greenland and plug the gap in German reporting. Seven men stood against them. Using dogsleds to patrol 500 miles of the forbidding coast of eastern Greenland, their wartime mission was to guard against Nazi infiltration. It was a thankless and boring task in the freezing arctic conditions until they discovered a footprint on Sabine island. There followed one of the most thrilling stories of adventure of the Second World War, a tale of a silent chase and fight against a vastly superior enemy up and down the coast of Greenland and one of the most remarkable and important Allied victories of the war.
