Dear Mr. Jones
I have a question and I am a loss who to ask, so I am asking you.
I am 68 years old and many years ago, in the 1960′s (or early 70′s?) I read
a novel about a Wehrmacht officer, probably even a general, who sadistically
murdered prostitutes in occupied Paris and was being investigated by a french detective. Then this general was posted to Warsaw where again prostitutes were murdered and a Polish policeman was after him. After the war I think these policemen join force and find the scum in Germany someplace.
I remember that I likes the book very much (although it has no mention of all the terrible things that were going on at the).
Do you have any idea what I am talking about? If not can you suggest who to ask?
Thank you,
Shmuel Rosset.
There was a movie made in the 1960′s with a plot very similar to that you describe. This movie was based on a novel by Hans Kirst, THE NIGHT OF THE GENERALS, which also was published in the 1960′s. Could this book (and movie) be what you are seeking?
