Game and Story Use

• In a cinematic game, player characters could be highly-trained commandos working for this organization and liberating artwork and artifacts stolen by Those Wacky Nazis. Saying "That belongs in a museum!" is not mandatory, but highly encouraged nonetheless.
  • Some of these artifacts might have occult significance or supernatural powers, making the work of this organization all the more important as World War II is fought on a mystical plane as well.
    • The Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Lance are traditional in this kind of story.
