History
Captain Felix von Tont was a member of the Nazis during World War II. In the fall of 1943, he and a group of spies were ordered to capture Bernard Hix who was a member of the United Nations legation who was transporting evidence to the United States that would be used in war trials against Nazi prisoners of war after the end of the conflict.
They plotted to take over the plane that was being used to carry Hix to the United States. Von Tont and his men knocked out the pilots and took their place and when they were in the air, revealed themselves to Hix and his protector the Angel of their intentions. The Angel attacked von Tont but was knocked out by one of the pilots. They landed the plane in the Atlantic and waited to be picked up by a Nazi U-Boat. When it arrived, Von Tont forced Hix aboard and then blew up the plane in order to eliminate the Angel.
However, the Angel revived and abandoned the plane before its destruction and snuck aboard the vessel. The hero called the British Navy and gave away the U-Boat's position then forced to the sub to surface. Von Tont and his men surrounded the Angel but stopped when their sub was rammed by the British fleet. With their sub immobilized, a desperate Von Tont threatened to set off a torpedo if the Angel attempted to stop him, however, the Angel -- armed with an automatic rifle -- gunned him down. The rest of the crew were soon subdued and taken prisoner.
It was later revealed that that Von Tont's mission was doomed to failure from the start as the evidence was already forwarded to the American Defense Department via photostatic transfer.[1]
