The main character is Karl Fairburne, an OSS officer who is inserted into Berlin in 1945, during the final days of World War II. It references Operation Paperclip and its predecessor Operation Overcast, the plan by the USA to recruit the scientists of Nazi Germany. Fairburne comes up against both Nazi and Soviet opponents as he tracks key individuals involved with the development of the V-2 ballistic missile.
The campaign begins with a tutorial mission, where the player must
assassinate German Major-General Hans von Eisenberg who is attempting to
defect to the Soviets. The next mission is a slightly altered version
of the demo, where the player is sent to kill Dr. Gunther Kreidl, a Nazi
scientist, and escape with his documents. Next, Fairburne infiltrates a
V-2 rocket production facility in search of another scientist, Dr.
Schwaiger, who is willing to defect to the United States, but Fairburne
is discovered and must fight his way out of the facility. Fairburne
decides to steal a cache of explosives and destroy a bridge to distract
the Soviets and Germans while he slips behind them and rescues
Schwaiger. The plan works and Fairburne heads off to a place called
Opernplatz, where he finds Schwaiger and is forced to hold off waves of
Soviet troops who have discovered their position. Schwaiger is shot in
the process, and before he dies, he says "tabun". Fairburne, clueless,
goes to find Dr. Müller, whom he assassinates from his command tower.
With no location of the V-2 launching site, he goes to a Soviet HQ,
where he finds that tabun is a nerve gas carried by the V-2 rockets that are about to launch on London.
With only information that location is somewhere outside Berlin,
Fairburne goes to the Berlin office of Dr. Wolff, the mastermind behind
the project, to find more information. The office has been already
destroyed, but Fairburne finds a ripped notebook and establishes that
Wolff is about to escape from an airfield. Fairburne arrives at another
building just in time to retrieve from a fireplace a map detailing V-2
storage facilities. He sets out to destroy the rockets. With only Wolff
left, Fairburne goes back to the Brandenburg Gate,
where he had assassinated von Eisenberg few days earlier. Fairburne
climbs on top of the structure and, as Wolff is about to escape in a
car, he shoots, causing the car to run off the road and crash, killing
Wolff instantly. Fairburne remarks that World War II is over but the Cold War has just begun, in which he has acted as the first American combatant.
