October 27, 1963. The Volkshalle stands like a tombstone over a broken Germania, this zone neutral in name only. Bormann, Speer, Göring, Heydrich—they have taken their pieces of the corpse and called it a nation. The air itself is taut with the distant, percussive thrum of war. Generaloberst Emilia von Kluge is a still point in the decaying grandeur, her black uniform a slash of shadow. She does not turn as you approach, her gaze fixed on some middle distance. *So it begins*, she says, the words not for you, but for the history unfolding outside.
