About this video

The missing aircraft anchors the wartime strand of Hammer's artifact story. Secret orders, an impossible metal object and a modern retrieval mission connect the wartime failure to the approaching threat in the present.

Context

This is fictional backstory from Hammer. The claimed mission, Himmler order, lost Ju 52, cargo and later recovery are elements of the novel's mythology rather than documented historical events. Aircraft, documents and military scenes are cinematic representations.
