The Pas-de-Calais is a department in northern France. Among its components feature the port city of Calais and the commune of Saint-Omer.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
Beginning in 1942, during the Nazi occupation, the German Templar Seneschal and SS Sturmbannführer Heinz Müller ordered troops be deployed towards Pas-de-Calais in search of a Piece of Eden.[2] In January 1943,[3] a group of Assassins arrived at Saint-Omer, following intel retrieved from Müller's subordinate, Obersturmführer Wilhelm Schmidt. In the nightfall, they successfully managed to pass the roadblocks and Wehrmacht patrols that littered the town and eventually reached the Abbey of Saint-Bertin, finding it filled with Müller's SS troops. Soon after, the city and abbey was attacked by Royal Air Force bombers, with the Assassins being trapped in the rubble while Müller escaped alive.[4]
