 SEASON 2, EPISODE 19 THE BUTCHER Across the ocean, a German scientist named Horst Mueller (Colin Fox) escapes from prison and heads to a bomb-damaged underground laboratory. There, he dangles a silver amulet, consisting of a swastika enclosed in a circle, over a frozen body, and gleefully watches the corpse come to life. The 'dead' man is Colonel Rausch (Nigel Bennett) a notorious Nazi known during the war as 'The Butcher'. As Mueller uncouples the amulet, keeping the circle part for himself and handing Rausch the swastika, he explains that their minds are linked through the amulet. When Rausch has killed all of their enemies, and the amulet is again coupled, they will at last have the future the Fuhrer promised- a Reich that will last a thousand years. The enemies Rausch speaks of are the men of Jack's World War II squadron, who strangled Rausch to death with barbed wire and captured Mueller. As part of the plan to rebuild the Reich, Rausch comes to America under a pseudonym and methodically begins to exact his revenge.
