During the 1930s, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi movement took control of Germany and started invading several areas, leading to World War II. As the war drew to a close in the European Theatre, the Allied Forces discovered that the Nazis had been exterminating the Jewish population in Europe, and the Flying Hellfish stole paintings from a captured German castle and then made a Tontine to settle the issue of their future ownership[1].
