The continuation of Franz Neumann's adventures takes place in 1941, just before the German attack on the USSR. A third player has joined the fight between the intelligence agencies - the Soviets. Half a year has passed since the thwarted attempt to damage the battleship "Bismarck". The flagship of the Reich is still in Gotenhafen (Gdynia), waiting to sail on its first combat cruise. In connection with this, the command of the Royal Navy does everything to establish this route in order to be able to set a trap. Franz, who is serving in the command of the Kriegsmarine, must fight to maintain his credibility in the eyes of the Germans.
