Todt, Secret Nazi Island

As part of Operation Paperclip, the SHAEF have deployed special agents as part of the T-force across Europe to destroy Nazi technology and capture prominent scientists. Most of T-force had been depleted of their highly-trained agents due to the vastness of the European front. The island of Todt was probably the most vital and heavily defended concentration of Nazi science at this point in the war. It was the last trick up Germany’s sleeve to turn the war, and the Allied powers knew it had to be disposed of.

During the Allied Powers’ sweep of Europe, SESO was entirely captured and awaited trial by the end of the war. SESO was not recognized as a legitimate company, barely as a band of mercenaries. Since 1936 in Marenice, SESO collaborated with multiple organizations, including the Axis. There was little sympathy to SESO due to this collaboration. They were to face the same justice as the high-ranking Nazi officers in Nuremberg. However, the SHAEF recognized their chance and offered a deal: if SESO infiltrates Todt, destroys all secret Nazi weapons, and captures lead Nazi scientists, they may be granted amnesty. SESO’s collaboration with the enemy would be wiped from history, and they would be recognized as a legitimate company.

While SESO would receive basic supplies from the SHAEF, most of the equipment would come out of its pockets. There would be no contract with promised payment. To pull off such a feat, SESO would exploit all of its financial ties, facing inevitable bankruptcy, and having to start again. It is probable that the SESO that comes after this campaign will look nothing like its predecessor, sharing only the nomeclature. New equipment, relationships, and, most importantly, expensive contracts would be necessary to bring it back to excellence.
