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. Walter Murnau, a hothead, honorable man, and talented pilot, is awarded the Knight's Cross by a horribly mutilated Adolf Hitler, who instills fear and disgust in him. Thus, he becomes known as "the Devil's Pilot." As Himmler has taken notice of him, Murnau narrowly escapes the Führer's wrath. However, becoming a pilot for a revolutionary wonder weapon for the SS, albeit involuntarily, is not without danger. For even the slightest mistake could turn him into one of the "Damned of the Reich," one of those for whom the New Auschwitz holds the worst of fates.
