Black Order/Prologue

1945

May 4 6:22A.M. Fortress City of Breslawu, Poland SS Obreguppenfuhrer Jakob Sporrenberg nudged past a corps. They had to fight in the streets from the Russian artillery. He and his troops had to hold out. It was Gaufefter Hanke's final command.

It was, in his eyes, what the Third Reich depended on. And him as well. The Russians attacked this city because of something. The city sat in the mountains and people in the concentration camps were forced to dig 100 km of tunnels for a project. Die Riese. The Giant.

Word had spread. If only they had time to complete the research. The scientists had to do so. He had killed most of the scientists, except one Doctor Tola Hirzfeld. She was dragged by people.

Her father Hugo Hirszfeld was the overseer of the project, but had his heritage, half Jewish, revealed. This lead to his death.

They take her and her child to the docks for the boats. They had to reach transport out of the place. In the boat, Tola, flips into the water. Jakob was not happy about this. Tola had escaped.

However, a bullet had hit her, andSshaw was reminded there was light beyond the current darkness. She pushed, allowing the current to take her to a place. Barely moving, she collapses by a church. Father Varick hears the child and opens the door. He opens the door, seeing the woman. She was dead. Her baby was barely alive, taking him in. On the baby was a tattoo of a crow's foot. It was a Norse Rune, having learned of it from his time in Finland. He didn't care. The sins of the father were not of the son's to bear. He tucked the baby into his robes, and proclaimed “Poor Junge such a hard welcome to this world”.
