Army and fight the Nazis in World War II so he volunteered instead for Operation : Rebirth , a secret military operation , he was physically transformed into a super - soldier dubbed Captain America . At first the army only used him as a propaganda figure , but while in Europe he saved hundreds of prisoners of war , which also included his friend Bucky Barnes . Steve and Bucky then created a team to fight HYDRA , a Nazi organization created by Johann Schmidt . During an attempt to stop Arnim Zola , while successful , resulted in the death of Bucky . While he tried to prevent Schmidt from bombing America , he crashed Schmidt ' s aircraft into a glacier , after Schmidt was transported to another dimension by the Tesseract .

During the attack on the Helicarrier , he helped Stark fix the destroyed rotor , but not before Stark ' s suit was wrecked .
