Crossing the Rhine

by Lee Jackson Book 9 in the After Dunkirk series.

First published 2026

4.6(2,306)

In the closing campaigns of Western Europe, Jeremy flies hazardous missions while Amélie serves as an ambulance driver near the front. Claire races to turn intercepted communications into usable warnings, and Paul advances through devastated towns where the discovery of Nazi imprisonment and atrocities changes the meaning of liberation.

Lance escapes Colditz and returns to the French Resistance as Allied armies approach and cross Germany’s western defences. The novel places personal reunion and endurance beside the evidence of Nazi rule that the advancing soldiers can no longer treat as distant intelligence.
