During the blackout, Ratte recalls the past, where he communicates with his grandfather (I can't say exactly who he is) about the annexation of Czechoslovakia, but his grandfather knocked his glass on the table and says that it makes no sense to re-fight Germany against the Allies, you need to keep peace in the world, and not create wars:

> "I'm sure in the future we will regret falling for this damned propaganda." - Grandfather

Waking up in his partial coma, Ratte sees Matilda, who is delighted to see that he is conscious. The British doctor tells Matilda to leave Ratte, as he is still in critical condition. Matilda drives away, disappointed that she couldn't stay with Ratte for a longer time.

When he wakes up again, he sees himself partially repaired and an engineer. His engine had been replaced by a generator with his engine inside, and his gun had been partially sawed off. The engineer seeing the awakened Ratte starts his engine. Ratte initially struggles to move and soon succeeds. Going to the exit, he sees Matilda and is very happy that she alive. Matilda smiles at the sight of Ratte being in good health, and they drive on the streets of London. On the street, Matilda catches up with him and asks him: "Why did you save me, Ratte? Your life was in the balance." to which he replies, "I am you... I got you into it..." (He could have confessed that he truly cared about her, but he chose not to). She asked him to be more restrained and listen to his superiors, Ratte spoke dissatisfied with his superiors, but Matilda explains that he was given full confidence.

Coming to General Cromwell, who is glad to see Ratta and delves into his course. He reveals that there are not enough land warriors and he must help train the army and introduces the FV215b (183), who has demonstrated his power and is happy to meet Ratte:

> "Did they send me an assistant? If you didn't fight in Egypt, then you didn't see the war. Well, let's get acquainted." - FV215b (183)

Ratte goes to the factory, where it will be completely restored and modernized. After trying a large gun, Ratte decides to install a gun with a flamethrower. Coming out of it, he meets  asking why he did not take a caliber gun, to which he replied: "It's not about caliber ...". Then Ratte and Babakha go to the train. Arriving at the point, Babakha explains that saboteurs were found here who need to be removed, and on the way Ratte sees huge artillery installations. The monsters, having come to the saboteurs, make a fight and almost win, but Babakha stopped Ratta, approaching the surviving fighter, he told him to explain that they were ready for an attack from the Reich. Ratte does not know that no one came to help them and going upstairs he saw that the Tua artillery was a manikin and a remnant of the KV-45. In a malicious state, Ratta threatens Babakha if he does not explain what, how and why. Babakha invites him to go to the headquarters for clarification. Arriving at the headquarters and pushing Babah, Ratte shouts and asks: "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?! YOU ARE DECEIVING ME AND WHAT IS THE KV-45 DOING HERE?!" General Cromwell explains that what he saw is a field of manikins to deceive the enemy, and the landing will be in Normandy for surprise, and says about the KV-45 that it is needed only for study.

At the briefing of the US Army, Ratte will inform them about the threat to the German army and train them. In the training of the army, he remembers his brother Fritz (Maus), who was badly damaged by the missiles of the older KV-6. Along the way, he sees a similar T1, who introduces himself as the brother of the deceased T1. By evening, Ratte communicates with Matilda and agrees on mutual assistance.

**Ratte**, Babaha, Matilda, Chrysler, brother of T1 and the US Army, Great Britain are already close to the coast of Normandy and from the bunkers began to open fire on everyone. There is a battle going on. Matilda, who fell into the sea, calls for help from Ratta, who shoots a harpoon and pulls Matilda out, she thanks him and the battle continues. At the top of the fortifications, Karl-44 appears and kills a couple of Allied fighters. Ratte undertakes with the others to shoot at the hill so that Karl-44 falls to land, it succeeds. There is a battle of monsters. Babakha is badly wounded, Matilda is in the wreckage, and Ratte is left with Karl-44, who is still ready to fight. However, Chrysler comes to the rescue, hitting him so hard that he falls to his side and turns off.

Ratte is perplexed, and Babakha asks him: "Did I kill him?" silently goes to help his own. Fritz sees him and shouts "Ratte!", He remembers him and at this moment brother T1 talks about the theft of Karl-44. Ratte orders Mouse to be taken prisoner and goes to the shore, where Karl is stolen. Despite the efforts of Ratte and Babakhi, they were unable to stop the submarine, Chrysler was unable to unhook the chains of U-47 from Karl-44, the British cruisers could not help much, as they carried out a barrage of shell fire.

After the landing in Normandy, Ratte, together with FV215b, participated in the capture of one of the cities. After the battle, Ratte gave Matilda, who was in the hospital, a cherry tree he had pulled out, because he could not collect flowers. After that, he continued to move deep into France, to Paris. They adhered to this tactic after Matilda's recovery, liberating city after city. During the next attack, the monsters split and Ratte was covered with a barrage of artillery, which almost killed him. Luckily, the homogenous armor helmet that he wore protected him. Matilda and the FV attacked the artillery and rescued Ratte. Soon he was repaired, given more armor and new guns.

**Season 9**

During the next assault and German bombing, Ratte tells Matilda that the FV215b was killed by GrossSturmen. Matilda becomes frightened by the presence that GrossSturmen has entered the battlefield. Seconds later, a German artillery raid forces the allied troops to take cover in nearby areas. Ratte asks Matilda why she was scared when he said GrossSturmen's name. She tells Ratte that she encountered Gross in the Balkans, and that she was less experienced. GrossSturmen's superior firepower killed all of her squad, and he knocked out Matilda. He later took her to the German's base camp and tortured for information. (Presumably) Angered by what he has heard, Ratte vows to take revenge for Matilda on GrossSturmen, saying "Now that we are together, I will not let this bastard offend you, do you hear, he will not offend you and anyone else in any way!-I'm with you, Matilda!"

In the next episode, the detachment of Ratte and Matilda (Followed by allied tanks, including the brother of FV 215b 183) arrive to the German camp where GrossSturmen is located. With a megaphone, Ratte threatens the Germans to surrender and no one will be harmed. Gross, who is an experienced fighter, doesn't buy it, and knows that Ratte and Matilda are on the other side of the hill. Knowing that they are there, GrossSturmen says to Matilda "Yeah, I remember you Matilda, and how loudly you screamed!" (Referencing to when he tortured her) Being highly protective of Matilda, Ratte no longer holds back, and, carries out the attack on GrossSturmen's detachment. The Germans retreat, including GrossSturmen.

It was decided by Ratte and his detachment attack at night., during a storm. As they advanced, British artillery, mainly carried out by Bishop SPGs and howitzers, started a barrage on the enemy's position. The first line of fortifications was quickly taken and the city became the main combat area. In the proceeding episode, the allies slowly make their way into French territory, getting brutally attacked by the German defenses. During a flurry of shell barrage, GrossSturmen spots Ratte and Matilda. He tells Kasiel (Leviathans guard/henchwoman) to destroy Matilda. GrossSturmen attacks Ratte, engaging in a duel. During the fight Gross puts pressure on Ratte in every possible way, asking why he betrayed the Wehrmacht, because he was a non-commissioned officer, respected by Germany and the Third Reich. Ratte simply replies "And you don't look to good either!" and attacks Gross. Ratte's shells did little to no damage to Gross' frontal armor. Gross simply threw Ratte away, but the Ratte's shells were able to penetrate Gross and inflict significant damage on him.
