Well, it’s a story of faith, belief with a bit of colonization.

It was almost the end of World War II for Berlin. The Russian army started to bombard Berlin with its artillery. Inside Hitler’s bunker were his close confidants who came to see him for one last time.

The bunker now had the who’s who of the N**i Party. These N**i leaders indiscriminately killed millions of people in the name of party ideology. Among them was a N**i leader who had the least affiliate to the party ideology but killed people for personal satisfaction. He was Henrich Müller, or as others call him, Gestapo Müller.
