The Doctor saves a shopkeeper from a brawl with members of the Freikorps, a sanctioned group of local thugs under the loose control of the SS. He and Ace then witness a murder, and the dying man slips the Doctor an odd item: the identification of a high-ranking Nazi official, the [[Reichsinspektor General]]. Shortly thereafter, they are arrested on the word of an informant, and imprisoned by a Lieutenant [[Anthony Rupert Hemmings|Hemmings]], local commander of the Freikorps. They escape quite easily, and return to the Festival, where a local named [[Popplewell]] (secretly a resistance member) hints at how to contact the resistance movement. He also reveals that the TARDIS was taken by a patrol. They return to the local headquarters, and the Doctor uses the ID badge to bluff his way into the confidence of the local general, General [[Strasser]]. Hemmings breaks in and accuses them, and the Doctor has Hemmings seconded to his command, so as to keep him in view. | The Doctor saves a shopkeeper from a brawl with members of the Freikorps, a sanctioned group of local thugs under the loose control of the SS.

The Doctor tells Hemmings that Ace is a relative of a resistance member, and has contacts; she must be "interrogated" (for the sake of appearances) and then released, and will then willingly lead them to the resistance. Meanwhile, the Doctor goes to the former British Museum to examine the military records stored there, hoping to find the point at which history diverged. He learns that the turning point was at Dunkirk during the war; unlike real history, the Germans annihilated the retreating British army at Dunkirk.

Meanwhile, the Doctor goes to the former British Museum to examine the military records stored there, hoping to find the point at which history diverged. He learns that the turning point was at Dunkirk during the war; unlike real history, the Germans annihilated the retreating British army at Dunkirk. He is contacted [[psychic]]ally by the [[Timewyrm]], who rages and tears up the room, much like a poltergeist, but he gets the impression she is trapped somehow. Hemmings, meanwhile, "interrogates" Ace; he beats her more than necessary for effect, as he doesn’t believe they are not enemies of some sort. He then releases her, and she goes to act on the tip from Popplewell, meeting resistance members at [[Ma Barker]]’s Cafe. Hemmings has her followed, and plans to raid the cafe; but he is interrupted by the timely intervention of the Doctor, who manages to vouch for the resistance members as double agent, and have Hemmings arrested. Back at HQ, he sends Ace to the TARDIS, and goes to release Hemmings secretly, knowing he put the man in a dangerous position; but Hemmings attacks him and bolts. Hemmings sees the TARDIS materialise, and a voice calls him inside; then the TARDIS vanishes. However, something isn't right; the Doctor's TARDIS is still where he left it. The Doctor joins Ace there, and they depart. | ||
Working with a plan that he has not yet revealed, the Doctor travels to Munich, 1923, on the date of Hitler’s failed coup that led to his imprisonment (during which he would write "Mein Kampf". Against Ace's urging, he lets the events play out…and resets [[Hitler]]'s dislocated shoulder, ingratiating himself to the future dictator. Later he tells Ace that the Nazi regime failed in part because of Hitler's incompetence...and he cannot allow Hitler to be replaced with a competent dictator. Hence, his involvement now. | Working with a plan that he has not yet revealed, the Doctor travels to Munich, 1923, on the date of Hitler’s failed coup that led to his imprisonment (during which he would write "Mein Kampf".
