One of 3 great movies from the 70s, The Odessa File, The Day of the Jackal, and The Boys from Brazil... shame we don't get these quality movies anymore...
It's a fiction book and Jon Voight (the actor cast in the movie) is one of the biggest supporters of Donald Trump. Clearly Jon Voight has forgotten what the Nazis did. He may have stopped them from returning in a 1970's movie set in 1963 but he's done a lot to ensure the American Hitler is heading back to the White House.
0:19 ODESSA is an American codename (from the German: Organisation der ehemaligen SS-Angehörigen, meaning: Organization of Former SS Members) coined in 1946 to cover Nazi underground escape-plans made at the end of World War II by a group of SS officers with the aim of facilitating secret escape routes, and any directly ensuing arrangements. The concept of the existence of an actual ODESSA organisation has circulated widely in fictional spy novels and movies, including Frederick Forsyth's best-selling 1972 thriller The Odessa File.
Thank you for posting. I read the paperback novel in the late 1970's. A page-turner! Realistic! On the back-cover of the novel, one the five or more newspaper critics had written in his comment: "Could this be fiction?"
There is so that I'd forgotten from when I first read a copy of this book that my mum lent me. She had always loved Forsyth's diligent research eg. his mention of the Zipfer brewery near her home town in Austria
Listening to this on jan27 2025, 1 day before the liberation 80 years ago of Auchwitch sorry if i spelt this wrong. to whhich the Russians were not invited.
Read a few, turn them off yourself. That’s what I do. I get a feel for the populous and when I don’t see much I close the comments and don’t look anymore.
Forsyth is sloppy on his derails. If the protagonist was eatting scrambled eggs at midnight, it would be three or four o’clock in Dallas, which is several,hours after the capture of Lee Harvey Oswald by the Police there.
Every MAGA so called patriot should be forced to listen to this as a cautionary tale for blind allegiance to a personality over the Constitution a democratic ideals we have been so lucky to be part of
@nata3467 As usual, marxist useful idiots accusing others of the exact thing they are guilty of. Congratulations, you have been successfully brainwashed by the democratic party. You live on hate which is why you always lose.
I would add 'the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich'. It's a great read, but also available in audio, and even a documentary. Can't help but think of all our grandfathers that fought fascism in WW2. And now we have people willingly voting for it. 😢 🇺🇲
You do know this is a work of fiction right? How can you sit there and insult Americans in such a way. Why don't you read another great historically accurate novel, I recommend any one of the Harry potter books...idiot. America and its ppl are greater than your racist views. Are you some liberal Brit with a superiority complex when it comes to education? British secondary schools, are failing. Welsh schools are known throughout the world as hysterically bad. In Asia, if you want a degree bought, go to a Welsh academy.
The narrator makes the story come alive, David Rintoul outdid himself in this narrative - outstanding (imo).
He's a great reader.

The narrator has the perfect voice for this book. I could enjoy listening to him reading out the telephone directory.
Try Rogue Male narrated by Michael Jayston. It’s on RUclips. Superb.
Thank you for uploading and Great narration.
Let us never forget.
Thank you for uploading. Good narration. We should never forget that this was the reality.

Superb narration of a terrific story. First Class.

Read the book, saw the film. Both made a huge impact, we should NEVER forget what happened. Thanks so very much for this audio, wonderfully produced ❤

Exquisite narration.Thankyou
Thanks for uploading this!
Great book and narrator. I ended up listening to this all day !

Beautifully read. Thank you.
Excellently read 👏
Great Book and Reading!! Thank You!
Excellent 👏
Superbly read. Wish the film had followed the book
Yeah, they never do. But it would have been about 11 hours long. Maybe a great miniseries?
Fantastic narration
I read the book 10 years back and loved it once more
Frederick, the master of the well researched novel 🤔
This is a book I'd not normally pick up but hearing it read is quite engrossing
Great intro !!!
Listening to this on jan27 2025, 1 day before the liberation 80 years ago of Auchwitch sorry if i spelt this wrong. to whhich the Russians were not invited.
Excellent narrator. Did justice to this books story.

didnt realise it was a narative till the end lol
They walk among us .... !
I wish you would turn the comments off because the comment section for the most part is what John F. Kennedy referred to as nut country!

Do you mean details? Asking for a friend.

Why do men need women more when they are frightened? Great upload.
Very. Good should I watch the movie ,if there is one
Movie sux (Jon Voight stiffs badly, and narrative changes are grotesque)
The film is poor when held up against this book. This particular narration lifts it even further above the film.
The film is from 1974 starring Jon Voight & Maximilian Schell

Great research by Forsyth but the motto on SS daggers was MEINE EHRE HEISST TREUE. BLUT UND EHRE was the motto etched on Hitler youth daggers😂😂😂

Well put and of course, no thumbs up until now.
A naive and foolish comment

One wonders how, having known such horrors, Israelis can commit genocide in Gaza
I need to believe that most Israelis do believe in compassion & a fair two state solution, except for the faction of extremists with Netanyahu.
Because they’re not you fool, look up the definition of genocide.
Maybe Muslims shouldn't murder, rape and kidnap over 1200 defenseless men women and children at a concert.
All created, and financed by the US... Fact!
The events on October 7th. Never again.
