Decorated hard core Nazi Johannes von Reinhartz has his pragmatic rival Ulrich Wrangel and his U-boot entire crew, which his beat up informally, locked up on treason charges, but the base commander has both crews lodged in adjoining cells and rules neither can be missed given the war effort. Wrangel gets command of the next mission and some crewmen transferred. Having seen his traitor lover and translator Simone Strassner bleed to death in OR, Forster sets out to hunt down the Jewish Goldblatt family, who hide out in the church crypt until the resistance can move them safely, but the SS gloves are off completely by now. In New York, speculations and machinations continue around lawyer Berger to carefully make maximal profit from Klaus Hoffmann's engineering expertise with Jewish capital and possibly return to Germany.
