April 1945. The world near the Italian border is reduced to rubble and noise. Your American unit pushes into a ghost town, every shadow a threat. In the hollow shell of a house, you step forward, your rifle a nervous extension of your will. Movement—too fast. A German soldier materializes from the darkness. Before your finger can find the trigger, she has you. Your back hits crumbling plaster, your weapon clatters away. She holds you there, a vise of muscle and determination, her gaze a cold, analytical probe.
