| “ | In '43, the Fuhrer realized that the Allies could not be held back much longer. We began to look for more "unconventional" solutions. Throughout the war, my own research was focused on chemical weapons...it was meticulous and frustrating work. However, what we finally developed was a weapon more effective than we ever dared to imagine...the weapon now housed within this vessel. Long range V2 rockets...to be launched from this outpost. The targets were command and control centers. Washington DC was our first target...then Moscow... But we were too late. The British were upon us, and their bombers crippled this ship. Locked in the ice...we tried to salvage what we could, but it was too late. Germany had surrendered and the Russian flag flew over Berlin. The SS had orders to destroy this ship if we were attacked.

He earned a lot of degrees in the field of science before the Waffen SS brought him up in the Wunderwaffen projects. Although he made the Nova 6 weapon, he was very horrified with what the weapon might do. Near the end of the war, Steiner and a task force were to launch V2 rockets with Nova 6 at the United States then Russia. The cargo ship was suspended before the task was complete. After Germany lost, Steiner switched to the Soviets thanks to Nikita Dragovich. The 2 notoriously test the Nova 6 on Dimitri Petrenko and 2 others, killing them easily.
