The Doctor calls in a favour from Goering, setting him on the road to Drachensberg with an armored column. He then finds a transmat booth in Kriegslieter's office, which leads to Drachensberg. He tampers with it before using it, sending himself onto the roof of the castle instead of to the receiving transmat, and the receiving transmat explodes. However, to save Ace, he surrenders, and he recognises the equipment in use. It is the property of the War Lords, whom he last encountered at the end of his second life. Kriegslieter proves to be the renegade Time Lord known as the War Chief, now victim of a failed regeneration that left him deformed. | The Doctor calls in a favour from Goering, setting him on the road to Drachensberg with an armored column.

Escaping [[The War Games|their past defeat]] by the Time Lords, the War Lords had come to Earth to again form an unstoppable army; but this time, unlike their previous plan to collect soldiers from throughout history, they will craft their own army via Nazi Germany. To that end, they have been controlling, manipulating, and assisting Hitler; it is this involvement that leads to the change in history at Dunkirk. The War Lords will win the war, accelerate humanity’s technological development, and conquer the galaxy. Ace will be sacrificed to motivate the SS, and the Doctor...Kriegslieter will take his body and his [[Regeneration cycle|regenerations]]. | Escaping [[The War Games (TV story)|their past defeat]] by the Time Lords, the War Lords had come to Earth to again form an unstoppable army; but this time, unlike their previous plan to collect soldiers from throughout history, they will craft their own army via Nazi Germany.

When Himmler arrives for the sacrifice, the Doctor tells him he is being groomed to replace Hitler. He turns on Kriegslieter, who is stunned, having underestimated Himmler's loyalty to Hitler. The Doctor frees Ace and uses her new Nitro-9-A variation to create a distraction, escaping to the top of the tower. Goering's armored column arrives, and a battle begins. Goering's men overcome the Black Coven, but are interrupted by Hitler; the Doctor senses something wrong, and realises that he has made a mistake–he has not only enabled Hitler to resist the Timewyrm, but to control it. Hitler leaves with Himmler and Goering and the troops. However, the dying Kriegslieter briefly reanimates his dead troops to attack the Doctor. The Doctor sets the castle's reactors to explode, and they escape in the TARDIS (summoned back from the Vortex) just before it blows, eliminating the War Lords and their technology. | When Himmler arrives for the sacrifice, the Doctor tells him he is being groomed to replace Hitler.
