This story takes place in Garmouth during the Second World War. The kids collect war souvenirs such as incendiary bombs, plane fins, smashed bullets and other stuffs. Boddser Brown has the best war souvenir because he found the nose-cone of a 3.7 inch anti-aircraft shell. But when Chas McGill stumbles on a machine gun from a shot-down German plane, he and his friends built a fortress for the machine-gun. They brilliantly outwitted the police, parents and school members. Then Rudi, a German survivor found their fortress and Rudi lived there. Suspicion arouses the police and parents, as slowly the mystery reveals from accidents and missing objects. They had became the machine-gunners, and with it a lot of trouble came.

The most philosophically astute children's book I've ever come across.
