The War of 25 years ago was brought to life when a fishing boat snagged the wreckage of a WW2 German Bomber on a sandbank off the East Anglia coast in 1965. The memories were more eerie and frightening to some. They instilled fear of a fresh nuclear catastrophe. One of the fishermen was approached by a former high-ranking intelligence official from the Nazi regime for information on the bombers’ past, prompting him to alert the British Secret Service counterpart in MI6. During the Cold War, there were increasing tensions and secrecy was paramount. The area was visited by MI6 who arranged for the dive, both agents posing as and wearing marine archaeology wear.However, the bomb was not there, it had been removed by a group of terrorists led by one of the bombers former crew. There followed a cloak and dagger chase through the picturesque Norfolk Broads to find the device, and capture or kill the group, whose target was no lesser person than the President of the United States, Lyndon B. Johnson.Deadliest Cargo is a fictional work that draws on accounts, records, and testimony from personnel working on the A Bomb in 1944. It is somber reading for those who still believe in fiction of the James Bond films.
