In October 1942, General Donovan commissioned him to investigate reports that the Waffen-SS were researching Atlantis and indulged in naked Germanic druid rites in order to develop an occult "wonder weapon". Blazkowicz is therefore smuggled into the Alpine fortress in Absam, Austria , and there he finds out what the " ancestral heritage of the SS " is researching, who found the skeleton of Count Dracula from Wallachiaand what the fanatical SS General Otto von Grimm does in underground laboratories full of German scientists and a pit of molten gold. Blazkowicz finds out that Grimm is vampireing an army of Naziscreated. At first he succeeds in apparently destroying the vampires with a holy cross. Satisfied, he reported this to his superior. But it was just a ruse. The actual plan is much more perfidious: with Dracula's vampire teeth, Grimm wants to make himself the head vampire. Since liquid metal can no longer harm him, he wants to fall into liquid gold to be safe from sunlight at all times. Then he wants to form a new empire with an army of golden Nazi vampires. However, Blazkowicz succeeds in replacing the dentures with a fake one and Grimm lets himself fall to certain death.
Back in Washington, DC, Blazkowicz is appointed head of his own OSS department tasked with uncovering and preventing Nazi occult research. The next job is already waiting for him.
