6. Die Glocke

Complete story — includes the ending

In 1940 France, a Nazi SS officer acquires a manor and holds a gala for exhibiting artifacts collected by the Ahnenerbe. One of those artifacts is "Die Glocke" which the Project Splinter team believes is "the bell" referenced in the clue "Climb the Steps, Ring the Bell." Cole, Jones, Cassie, and Jennifer splinter to 1940 with a plan to infiltrate the gala and obtain Die Glocke. Deacon also splinters to the gala and joins the team, revealing that he is still on Project Splinter's side despite ostensibly working for the Army. The team encounters French Resistance operatives who plan to use a bomb to assassinate Adolf Hitler, who will be attending the gala. Although their plan is complicated by the Resistance's efforts, the team manages to obtain Die Glocke. Deacon and Jennifer also kill Hitler by detonating the Resistance's bomb. It is revealed that the case Deacon obtained in 1966 contained a useless artifact. Upon examining Die Glocke, the team discovers the message "1491, Hertfordshire, England." In 2043, Deacon and Jones agree to allow Deacon to maintain the appearance of working for the Army by capturing Jones and delivering her to Olivia.
