1958: Werner aka Achim, now an officer in the Defense Department, poses as an insurance agent to investigate a plane crash in Portugal in which a high ranking German official died. A ring of arms dealers try to keep him from nosing around.
Werner gets insight into West-German arms dealings orchestrated by Born whom he met when they were prisoners of war. Cleverly using the rivalry between West-Germans, the CIA and arms dealers he secures plans of a NATO project in Portugal.
