1946: After the surprising failure of the Allied landing on June 6, 1944, the newly developed wonder weapons of the Nazis decimate the Allied aircraft. Major Walter Murnau, a hothead, honorable man, and talented pilot, is awarded the Knight's Cross by a terribly mutilated Adolf Hitler, who instills fear and disgust in him. Thus, he becomes known as the "Devil's Pilot." Forced to fly a revolutionary wonder weapon on behalf of the SS and serve as a guinea pig for the Ahnenerbe, the Nazis' department for the supernatural, Murnau begins to doubt the legitimacy of his fight for the Reich. Meanwhile, strange things suddenly begin to happen near the secret German base in Antarctica.
