Accompanying Notes

Warning: On occasion certain characters do express views and ideas which were prevalent at the time (including anti-Semitism and homophobia) which some people may find offensive – these are not my views, but it is difficult to write about the times without using them.

Uber Characters: A few name changes to Buffy characters are as follows:
Tara von Holt = Tara Maclay
Emily Braun = Faith
Wilhelm Fökker = Spike

Ranks: SS Ranks used correspond as follows:
Unterscharführer = Sergeant
Obersturmführer = First Lieutenant
Hauptsturmführer = Captain
Sturmbannführer = Major
Obersturmbannführer = Lieutenant Colonel

Author's Notes: Some characters do act differently on the show – for example Tara is a tad more confident than on BtVS, and there is briefly a scene where she is (just about) intimate with someone other than Willow (sorry) – but they do end up together (yeah).

Inspired by watching way too much Indiana Jones! However, the Nazi Regime did indeed scour the world for artefacts and legends (including Atlantis) in attempt to prove their racial superiority. Also, the prologue scene attempts to describe the (original) Earth Crust Displacement Theory, as hypothesized in Earth Shifting Crust (1958) (later refined in Path of the Pole (1970) by Charles Hapsgood (also supported by Albert Einstein)). And the evidence and locations have been used have (and continue) to be used to provide evidence that Atlantis was real – you may wish to read the following for further details:
When the Sky Fell: In Search of Atlantis by Rand and Rose Flem-Ath – 1995
Underworld – Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age by Graham Hancock – 2002
The Atlantis Blueprint by Rand Flem-Ath and Colin Wilson – 2000

There are a number of different languages used in this story – most I (regrettably) don't speak, on most occasions when they are spoken they will appear in English so the following will apply (sorry if it's complicated):
