It was a top-secret project of the Nazis: the test of tank engines in an alpine cold pole area, where parts of the famous Austrian Kupelwieser and Wittgenstein dynasties had settled nearby. Their fascist threat: the anti-Semitic facial measurements, the forced sale of a country estate, the expropriation of the island of Brioni by Mussolini etc., is a great family story. Where individual memories meet history, the most exciting stories emerge. Geißlhofer has immersed deep in his own childhood, and unveiled family secrets with persistent research. What came out appears like a thriller about what should have been sublimely forgotten after 1945.
