With England's fate hanging in the balance a papal emissary hand-delivers a sealed letter to Adolf Hitler from a source no mortal would dare ignore or disobey. Its instructions are simple. He must immediately turn his attention to the destruction of Russia. England is spared and the mysterious letter soon lost to history-only to surface in the Vatican decades later.
