Germany. The US 3rd Division, stationed in Nordhausen, finds 14 tons of documents relating to the V-2, hidden in a mine by von Braun. Staver manages to postpone the American withdrawal from the sector until June 21st, to make way for the British. They hastily and secretly remove all the documents. On May 27th, Staver learns that the British have brought forward their arrival to May 28th, and on that very day, the small convoy of American jeeps and trucks, under the noses of the British, moves the tons of documentation.
