In the secluded lake lands of East Prussia, a long-dormant canal project awakens with the rise of the Nazi regime. This ambitious waterway, designed to link the Masurian Lakes to the Baltic Sea, is set to transform the Prussian landscape and economy, opening a new lucrative trade route. Fifty kilometers of concrete foundations will wind through the dense forests, supported by a network of locks, bridges, and dams. But as Hitler gears up for a looming war, this sprawling canal system takes on a more sinister potential. What begins as a promise of prosperity now hints at a darker purpose with rumors of secret shipyards and hidden U-boat facilities percolating through the region... What exactly did the Reich intend to transport through this inland passage? Is it merely a tool for expansion, or could it be a cleverly disguised refuge for military plans?

In Czechoslovakia, the mighty Prague Castle falls to the most twisted mind of the Third Reich. In Austria, a stone refuge is ominously seized and restored into a horrific killing facility.
