Klaus Fischer: "Marie, if you are listening to this then you have received my letters. I pray to God that you are ok - and that you come armed with the might of the Allied forces."

Peter Straub: ''"The Führer had asked for something exceptional from my staff. A soldier who does not rest. A soldier who does not fear. And a soldier who does not shy away from the shadow of death. I have found that soldier. Or perhaps, it is better to say that I have birthed him. But I am getting ahead of myself. I had begun to lose hope in our ability to find artifacts of significance. But then, Divine Providence. The discovery of a lifetime. The hilt to the legendary sword of the Holy Roman Emperor - Frederick Barbarossa. The embodiment of German nobility. German power. The Ahnenerbe was sent to reclaim the sword piece for Hitler's personal collection. And they could not move it... not with chains, not with tractors, nothing. When the mountain will not come to *static* I brought everything to the mountain. My tools. My staff. The foremost weapons expert in the Wehrmacht, Gruppenführer Heinz Richter. Little did we know that we were about to uncover something that would change our understanding of the world!"''

Peter Straub: "Even without breaking through the magnetic force surrounding this hilt, we have been able to siphon off vast amounts of energy. And this is where I made my greatest discovery. During one of my early experiments, an attempt to draw power from the hilt, a cable became overheated and snapped. It struck a pair of guards. They were killed instantly. They were dead - and then they were not! I watched as the first soldier began to twitch, violently and then began walking towards me. And the corpse's intent was clear: it meant to kill me. Luckily more soldiers had arrived by then and were able to put it down. But, I had seen something astonishing. I had seen death overcome and I had seen a vision of our Führer's future!"

Peter Straub: "Geistkraft - the name I have given this new form of energy. It can be conducted through the human nervous systems activating the most primitive parts of the human cerebellum. The untoten are preserved by the same energy that drives them. They are machines now, muscles and bones driven by their loyalty to their master. I have found that by triggering the pain receptors on these corpses I can augment the soldier's strength and speed. As someone who has extensively studied the effects of pain, it was inspirational! I have found my purpose here. I am to bring pain to the world."

Peter Straub: "I have been betrayed. Klaus has been sabotaging my work all along. He will pay. And that bastard Richter! The man sent to assist my work, to protect my facility? He has been seduced by the power of the weapons we can build with the geistkraft energy! The untoten have broken free. Four... no, five times now. We are so close to mastery here! So close to building an army! And what happens when their tanks come into view? Their mighty war machines? I am building more than just rank and file soldiers! I am building something that will tear through the mightiest steel and knock their fortresses into dust! I have created the devil himself."
