BITTER SEEDS – a classified report
C L A S S I F I E D I N F O R M A T I O N
YEAR: 1939. PROJECT: Milkweed
Raybould Marsh and other members of British Intelligence recently seized a damaged reel of film from enemy territory.
It appears to show German troops walking through walls, bursting into flames and hurling tanks into the air from afar.
This film, along with other classified reports, confirms our worst fears: that a Nazi scientist has been endowing German troops with unnatural, unstoppable powers.
British Intelligence may be forced to resort to our own dark methods to hold the impending invasion at bay.
