Fateful DNA (Hebrew)

Based on the extraordinary true story of Ulrich Schnaft, Fateful DNA by Gad Shimron follows a former Waffen-SS soldier who assumes a Jewish identity after World War II, immigrates to Israel, fights in the War of Independence, and becomes an IDF officer. His remarkable path later leads him to espionage for Egyptian and Iraqi intelligence and an attempted return to Israel under another identity.

Blending historical fact with fiction, Shimron explores a remarkable story of shifting identities, loyalties, love, betrayal, and espionage. With the exception of Schnaft, the book’s characters are fictional.
