The end suggests that the plans of both Kennedy and Hitler might be seriously derailed by the documents that are obtained by the protagonists manage to obtain and that Maguire smuggles out of Germany. The documents prove the systematic murder of the Jews and so might both cause the cancellation of the Hitler–Kennedy summit and sabotage the plans for the German–American détente that is desired by the Nazis for their economic recovery. The publication of the documents might also cause Kennedy to lose re-election in November 1964. The novel does not mention the name or the policies of the opposing candidate, who, however, might be a Cold Warrior and more anti-Nazi.
