Dla detektywa Roy’a Grace’a z komendy w Sussex, to koszmar dziejący się na jego oczach. Obsesyjny prześladowca podąża za Gają.

The Blood Flag was last seen on October 18, 1944, when Heinrich Himmler displayed it proudly as he commissioned the Volkssturm, the Nazi Party's new militia created to avert the certain defeat that awaited Germany.
