It is revealed that Grace has devised a plot to assassinate and eliminate the most powerful Nazis in the country. She wants B.J. to demolish Oberkommando in Roswell, at the location of a discovered Da’at Yichud stash, in order to see this through to completion.
For the destruction of the Oberkommando facility, B.J. heads to Rosewell armed with a handful of atomic weapons. B.J. makes a diversion to Mesquite, his birthplace, after leaving the place forever.
Abusing dad reveals to him in Mesquite how justified his torture was. His mother was sold Germans, too, as he reveals to B.J. Nevertheless, after killing his dad, B.J discovers that he had been working with Engel. B.J.’s ancestral jewelry is taken by Engel when she arrests him.
It is Norman Caldwell, posing as B.J.’s attorney, who arrives and details the escape. Engel assassinates him and reveals that she was aware of his ruse. B.J. would be sentenced to death and would be decapitated in America.
In the upcoming few missions, the protagonist encounters Hitler posing as an actor, manages to get the deactivation passcode for ODIN, and finally murders Engel (the moment we’ve all been waiting for) and gets hold of his family ring.
