Events that occurred in the year **1943 CE**.

* **June 11th:** At an army camp for the Soviet Armed Forces, Johann Fennhoff is interrupted by a surgeon needing his assistance during an amputation of the leg of a soldier called Ovechkin. To help the soldier, Fennhoff uses his hypnosis-technique on him. As Ovechkin is completely focused on a memory of a chess game he had with his mother before enlisting in the army, the surgeons amputate his leg without him feeling any pain.
* **June 14th:** Steve Rogers attempts to volunteer for the armed services, but is again denied. After annoying a bully at a local theater, Steve is beaten in a back alley, but not before valiantly attempting to defend himself. Bucky Barnes saves Rogers and asks him to join him on a double date, since he is shipping out for Europe the next day. On Flag Day, at the World Exposition of Tomorrow in New York City, Abraham Erskine spots Steve Rogers at a recruitment office and offers him a chance to join the United States Army through Project Rebirth.
* **June 15th:** At Camp Lehigh, New Jersey, Rogers and several other volunteers begin their training under the supervision of Erskine, Peggy Carter, and Colonel Chester Phillips.
* **June 22nd**: With Abraham Erskine's serum and Howard Stark's vita radiation technology, Steve Rogers is transformed into the world's first super soldier. Erskine is assassinated by Heinz Kruger, an undercover operative of HYDRA, and the last of the serum is destroyed. With Erskine dead, the only hope of replicating Project Rebirth's success is locked within Rogers' genetic code. Kruger runs away but is caught by Rogers and commits suicide with a cyanide pill.
* **June 23rd:**
	+ Unwilling to be kept for research, Steve Rogers joins the USO and goes on a morale-boosting tour of the US, the UK, and troops stationed in Italy. Given the name "*Captain America*", he becomes a national celebrity, appearing in films, comic books and card collections and establishing himself as a symbol of America's participation in the war.

When Captain America gains the upper hand, Red Skull sets the facility to self destruct and escapes with the Tesseract. During his escape Captain America memorizes a map of HYDRA facility locations and obtained a sample of the power source HYDRA was using.
