ISBN: 9780764343964 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Near the close of World War II, two hell-bent-for-leather American units moved relentlessly toward the village of Berchtesgaden, nestled in the Bavarian Alps.

Both forces would converge on Hitler's hideaway, and awaiting them was a dazzling treasure trove nefariously collected by none other than Reichsmarschall Hermann Goring. The greedy, art-loving Nazi leader had accumulated a...
