Excerpt from the 1st chapter of my book 'The Prelude to Perdition'

The Fuhrer was angry!!
It was not something that was so uncommon these days,what with the failing of the war and the impending fall of the Third Reich.Still Hitler was in a especially belligerent mood today.
He was not one to take failure kindly.Even if the failure was in meeting the deadline of something so important. "Wie lange wird das nehmen?!",yelled the leader and the instigator of the deadliest war in the history of mankind.
"For the good of God,we are almost done my Fuhrer",cowered Dr.Albrecht Wilhelm.He knew full well the consequences of angering Hitler,the result would be execution.But the fact that he was the most brilliant doctor and biotechnologist in the whole of the great Motherland was what probably saved him from the same fate as the others who didn't heed to his sometimes outrageous demands and orders.Hitler's frown lightened,anger fading almost instantly.
"All the years of hard work and countless billions pumped into the project have finally borne fruit.Our children will succeed where we have failed sadly.'Der Sonnenkinder' are the future,the future of me,the future of you and the future of the entire Aryan race",bellowed Hitler,as he scanned cradle after cradle which contained the most beautiful babies in the world.Healthy,full of life,with clear blue eyes and tufts of golden blonde hair,these kids lay peacefully,clearly oblivious about the purpose of their birth or the extraordinary events of which they're going to be a part of.

The top secret laboratory,located in one of the many secret bunkers under the ruins of Berlin,was hitherto unknown,only except for a few people in the Wolf's lair.Hitler made it a point to visit it and liked to supervise the progress of 'Das wichtige Projekt' himself because he didn't trust even the closest of his aides with this.The sheer ingenuity of the man's thought to even conceive a plan like this bodes ill to the world. "Yes my Fuhrer.The Allies may have won the battle,but we will eventually win the war.These kids are our gateway to the future,a future where the superiority of the Aryans will be firmly established.All the things have been put in place,as you have asked for them.Even as we speak the whole 'Baby-Bevölkerung' is being shifted and taken via secret planes and U-boats to pre-determined destinations all over the world.Even the nannies have been selected after thorough scrutiny to accompany 'Der Sonnenkinder',with specific instructions to follow when the time is ripe.We cannot and we won't fail now.",said the doctor and Hitler was visibly glad.
"Very well,it's time.You know what to do now.Hail the motherland."said Hitler as he proceeded to walk out of the secret bunker.The only sound he heard before the losing of the thick titanium door was the gunshot with which the good doctor blew his own brains out.
Hitler was saddened but he quickly checked the emotion."There's no place for remorse",he thought wryly,"What needs to be done has to be done.I know i can count on you 'Mein lieber Sonnenkinder'.you will succeed where my highly skilled men have failed.We are counting on you".As he neared his personal bunker at the end of the hallway,his thoughts were interrupted by his lovely wife of some 40 odd hours-Eva.He looked in her eyes and said "It's time my dear",to which she just gave a nod and flew into his arms for what would be their final embrace as mortals.
Eva went to the cupboard ant took out a syringe filled with clear liquid and as she looked at Hitler,she let it hover above the vein in her left hand.Eva,the only woman Hitler ever loved.As the Fuhrer held a gun in his hand,his last words were 'Love you always',to which she replied in kind.And the last sight the once mighty Adolf Hitler,the Emperor of Germany,saw was his wife dabbing the syringe filled with strychnine into her vein,before he pulled the trigger that silenced the voice which shook,spooked and scared the entire world for nearly 15 years-his own.

That defining moment in history marked the demise of the Third Reich and also the end of the second world War.
But little did one know that it was also a Prelude to perdition...........
