(Story 3 in the 'Stalag 13 before Hogan' series.' After this, we only have one other).

(Beacon Academy. 1933).

Ozpin sat in his office, reading the reports he had received from Qrow. News not only of Salem, but of the growing dictatorship in Germany. He feared, what would happen should Hitler set his sightd on Remnant. He read the notes, and sat down in his office. Contemplating a plan. Suddenly, he saw paper with the words 'from Great Britain' written on the envelope, in red.

(Meanwhile, Salem's palace).

Salem and her associates stood in skepticism of the German soldier, standing in the throne room corner. Salem approached the man, and asked, "Who are you?!" She hadn't sent anything to Germany in years. As soon as the Great War ended, she paid little to no attention to the country.

The soldier said to them, "Guten Tag, Queen Salem. I am Captain Burkhalter of Luftwaffe. Upon orders, from General Von Platzen, I have traveled here. The continent of Remnant, is now within Der Führer's interest. He required someone to create an alliance with you, and I volunteered."

Watts, who'd been suspicious, asked, "Burkhalter? Odd name. The only man I know of, by that name, is Colonel Albert Hans Burkhalter." Everyone looked to him in suspicion, "I was well involved, with the German army, back when it had one."

Burkhalter sighed, "I am former Colonel Burkhalter. I became a Colonel at the end of the Great War, but due to Germany's demilitarization, a list was made. A list of officers, who would be demoted two or more ranks back. To teach them a lesson, I believe a Canadian General said." He walked forward, "The Inspector General informed me, that if I could make an alliance with you, they will raise up my chance to once again be a Colonel."

Salem asked, the rage clear in her eyes, "Why, for any reason, would I want to make an alliance with you people?"

Burkhalter smirked, "The Führer felt you might say that." He showed a map of the continent of Remnant, "The Reich desires to share control with you. We shall help you take control of the continent, and let you have the majority of it. Whatever you want to keep, you keep. The rest, will belong to the Third Reich." He opened a briefcase, showing pictures of all Salem's enemies, "We shall help you destroy them, if you shall let us have a small portion of Remnant and the surrounding islands. Anything you want, in exchange for that."

Salem thought it over. Her associates seemed to agree with Burkhalter, and she thought it might hold some promise. She said, "You have a deal, Captain."

(August, 1940). The islands of Patch, Menagerie, and others, tried to contact the kingdoms. However, all attempts were failing.

The chieftain of Menagerie, Ghira Belladonna, was becoming furious. Suddenly, he heard a noise. He asked one of his soldiers, "Do you hear that?"

Unbeknownst to everyone, the Luftwaffe and the Kreigsmarine performed multiple assaults, on every island surrounding Remnant. A month later, they conquered the kingdom of Vacuo.

(Beacon Academy, October 17, 1940).

The students gathered, receiving word. The councils of the Four Kingdoms have decided that, despite their desire to keep students safe, the next generation of huntsman and Huntresses, may be needed. Teams like Team CFVY, would be assigned to guard Britain, and other nations that may need them. Teams like CRDL, who'd broken every rule Beacon had, and bullied other students, would be punished. Team CRDL, for their behavior, had been sent to the Russian Front.

Teams RWBY and JNPR had been summoned to Ozpin's office.

Ozpin said to them, "I have received word from Great Britain. They are planing something rather.." He tried to find the right words, "Interesting. No one who doesn't volunteer, will be in this. Volunteers only."

The teams looked at each other, knowing their agreement. They looked to Ozpin, and said, practically in unison, "We accept."

Ozpin informed them, "They are having people become prisoners of war, to aid other prisoners of war to get out of Germany. They preform espionage, stealing German information and getting it to the Allies. As well as sabotage, destroying Hitler's weapons of mass destruction. Allowing the Allies, a greater chance at victory." He looked at his students, "I know it may be very Huntsman-like, but it ensures your safety. At least, until the end of this war. That's all I can ask of you." He asked, "Would you prefer this, or combat duty in Stalingrad?"

The eight looked at each other, knowing that, while it wasn't going to help their combat skills, it would make their Headmaster happy. They said, "POW duty."

Ozpin smiled, "The transport will be here for you, soon."

Their transport arrived, and they flew into Germany, soon being shot down.

They were hauled off in a Gestapo truck. They were brought into Stalag 13.

A tall, lanky man with a monocle stood at the front gate. He said, "I am Colonel Wilhelm Klink of the Luftwaffe. Kommandant of Stalag 13."

He read who they were. Students of Beacon Academy. He read their rank equivalents. Nora, Ren, Blake, and Yang, were all Sergeants. Pyhrra was a Staff Sergeant. Jaune was a Technical Sergeant. Weiss, Sergeant First Class. But, what surprised him the most, was Ruby's rank. First Lieutenant. She seemed rather young. True, they all were young, but a fifteen year-old girl is a Lieutenant? He wondered what the Führer's enemies were thinking.

Klink departed to his office, and closed the door. Schultz, standing guard as usual.

A young man approached the Beacon students. A tall young man, dressed rather casually. Dressed in a gray, almost blue looking hoodie, and gray sneakers with black swirls. He wore black leather gloves, with the Scottish flag on the palms. He said to them, "Ye Oz's students?" They nodded, and he extended his hand. He said, "Captain Grimskull, RAF, acting Senior POW officer."

Ruby shook the hand offered, "First Lieutenant Ruby Rose. Sort of leader of the Beacon Academy. What do you mean you're, 'acting' Senior Officer?"

Grimskull chuckled, "I'm only in this position, until the US gets involved. Once they do, I'll happily step down." He motioned them forward, "All female prisoners, off to the women's barracks. The female officers will show Ye around there. Ye two, follow me. Takin' Ye into the tunnels."

After introductions, and seeing everything they needed to, the students of Beacon said, "Let's get to work."
