As a group of Luftwaffe reconnaissance aircraft flew over Belgrade on April 13, 1941, Captain Fritz Klingenberg pointed at the skies and then back at his watch.
Time was ticking.
Should the Yugoslav Mayor not surrender his city, Klingenberg would call upon a rampant air attack and artillery barrage, sparing none of the capital's 200,000 citizens.
But the Mayor obliged.
However, he did not know that he had just been duped by one of the sneakiest and most conniving men of the Schutzstaffel.
On that day, Captain Klingenberg, with only six men and a whole lot of guts, captured a critical city in the Balkans, defeating thousands without a single gunshot.
