July 29, 1940

Apartment 2-A

600 Main Street

Berlin, Germany

Agent #38-002:

Dire times have fallen upon our United Kingdom. I see a black hoard of Nazis across the channel tensing for a fatal assault, challenging all of Britain with its Blitzkrieg and slaughter. With your aid, we shall drive back Hitler's Huns. All of Britain is trembling at the thought of being invaded by the Nazis. You must return to London immediately with the secret plans that will help lead our great nation to victory.

~ Winston Churchill

In 1937, after Neville Chamberlain became England's prime minister, a group of five highly trained British agents infiltrated Berlin without detection. For three years these agents worked toward blending in to remove any suspicions

toward them if and when Britain and Germany went to war. This feat was easily accomplished because the agents were experts in the German language and culture and were soon considered just as German as any other Berliner.

By 1940, however, most of the British agents had been exposed. Only one spy remained in Nazi Germany for the United Kingdom. This spy was clearly the best of the original five, so Britain still had an edge. Then France fell in the summer of 1940, and it was up to Britain to stave off the powerful war machine.

For three years you have stayed in Berlin, achieving the appearance of a humble German. You have lived in a cheap apartment in the home of a Berliner and have supported yourself by taking odd jobs. None of your acquaintances would ever believe you could be the deciding factor in a war between Britain and Germany.

After receiving a special-delivery letter from Churchill (you're still not sure how it arrived safely - perhaps there are other Brits in Germany), you realize you can stay hidden no longer. Now the only things that can help you are your wits and your contacts. The fate of Britain and the outcome of World War II depends on whether or not you can discover the plans of the Nazi invasion of Britain in time.
