1942: Under the Storm

In the winter of 1942, Albert Spencer, a 32-year-old man who was not a soldier, was traveling on a passenger train. At 3:15 a.m., as they were passing through a snow-covered mountainous region, a shell destroyed the tracks. The train went out of control, plunged down a slope, and was completely wrecked. Most of the passengers died in the accident.

Hours later, Albert wakes up among the wreckage of the train and discovers that only five other people survived. The cold intensifies rapidly, and a snowstorm begins to engulf the area. While searching for supplies, they find a suitcase that was thrown from the train. Upon opening it, they discover several thick coats, which they put on to withstand the freezing temperatures.

Not knowing their exact location, the six survivors set off on foot through the snow, hoping to find help. After several hours, they come across a German soldier who appears to be lost and separated from his unit. Fearing he will discover or betray them, Albert and another survivor decide to attack him. While one of them holds him from behind, Albert strikes him with a rock, leaving him defenseless. They then take his weapons and equipment. Albert keeps an FG-42 rifle, while the rest of the group gathers ammunition and any other items that might help them survive.

With the wind blowing ever stronger and the snow making the path difficult, they continued onward for hours. Finally, through the storm, they spotted the lights of a small town. What seemed to be their salvation soon became the start of an adventure filled with mystery, danger, and difficult choices. Unbeknownst to them, Albert and the other survivors were about to uncover a secret hidden by the war that would change their lives forever.
