A spy thriller based on the real actions of the 513th Army
Intelligence battalion at the height of the cold war
On Hamburg Station is a work of historical fiction based on real
intelligence operations that took place and were conducted by the Army's
513th INTC Group from 1956 to 1966. Forget what you've seen in the
movies, this is the true world of espionage in the early 1960's. The
513th was headquartered at Camp King, Oberursel, West Germany, with
three operating stations featured in this work, Berlin, Bremerhaven, and
Hamburg. The Hamburg Station was a sub-station reporting to Bremerhaven,
and contained a group of agent handlers targeted against the Soviet
Union, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. This novel
traces the lives of several people who defended America during the
height of the Cold War.
