AFTER-ACTION REPORT

"German soldiers? ...I don't know what you saw, but I can tell you... there are no Germans in this place..."
-Rabbi Bozydar Skarba

In 1941, members of both the Allied Detachment 66 and the German AsA began looking for a mysterious box called the "Motahim". Guarded by a radical Kabbalistic sect of Hassidic Jews for generations, the box was said to contain "the words of God" and considered to have powers of an other-worldly nature.

Despite rumors of AsA investigations in Warsaw, including encounters with animated "golem" guardians, Allied analysts determined Lviv to be the most likely current location for the box. Arrangements were made with the Armia Krajowa resistance in Poland, and a team of Det-66 agents, versed in the Unknown, was assembled and sent to Lviv in June. After meeting with their contacts, and learning that the box was in the possession of one Rabbi Bozydar Skarba, the team set out to meet Skarba's mentor, Rabbi Ziska.

They found Ziska in a holy sanctuary, deep in the heart of the city. Before he would trust them, Ziska Insisted on a sign from God, and suggested that agent Torvald Manders go amongst the nazis outside, wearing only a Rabbi's vestments and a kabbalastic rune on his forehead. The others attempted to assist by commandeering some German uniforms, but this resulted only in the death of one of their number, Captain Linus Kaszinski, and the disappearance of another, Dr. Mendel Meyer. However, Manders went unnoticed amongst the soldiers and Gestapo agents, and Ziska was satisfied.

Following the Rabbi's information to the Bieszczady region of the Carpathian Mountians, the team found the isolated village of Drobna. Here they found Rabbi Skarba hiding, with his box, "The Motahim", in the very jaws of the wolf. As they attempted to flee with him, Nazi soldiers arrived, with AsA agents in their midst, and began interogating, and later shooting, the villagers. This resulted in a horrific display of the supernatural, as "neuri" shapeshifting villagers began changing to wolves and the Germans fell screaming. Members of both the D-66 and the AsA teams managed to escape the carnage, only to have another tense moment as the Allies, outnumbering their counterparts, extracted themselves with the box in their possession.
