First edition hard back binding in publisher's original camel cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered silver back, tawny brown end papers. 8vo. 9½'' x 6¼''. With the war drawing to a close and victory in Europe declared, the Black Watch's focus moved to identifying ex SS men and war criminals on the run. Whilst manning a checkpoint near Bremerhaven they took various prisoners and, on checking the guardroom, Renouf noticed one in particular seemed odd. A small man, dressed as a postman but sporting an eye patch, amulet round his neck and fancy watch, he was identified as a sergeant with the secret field police. After meekly handing over his valuables to a guard he was taken for questioning. It was then he demanded to speak to the camp commandant, a former Edinburgh policeman, and declared 'Ich bin Herr Heinrich Himmler.' The SS and Gestapo leader, the world's most wanted man, died soon afterwards, biting on a cyanide phial. Contains (vi), 312 pp with 6 maps and monochrome archive photographs throughout. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper, not price clipped. SIGNED by the author gilt framed label to the title page 'Tom Renouf | 28th January 2013' + SIGNED gilt framed label to the dedication leaf 'To Peter | With kind thoughts for the support you give The Black Watch | Tom | 28th January 2013' + Two double-sided lengthy hand written letters on '51st Highland Division Veterans Association' letter-headed paper SIGNED 'Tom Renouf' and 'Tom' respectively.
