A report sent to Soviet command which confirmed that the Iron Curtain research was set back by Allied espionage was traced to Bornholm, Denmark. Shortly afterwards, a large strike force was deployed to the area that conquered the Soviet bases and commandeered their radar domes in order to assess their relation with the Iron Curtain project.[13] On other fronts, Allied armies attacked from Asia Minor, liberating Syria and Iraq. Furthermore, after a swift campaign, Norway and the most of Sweden were liberated, free from the Soviet grasp, as was the same for Greece and Cyprus.
The defector revealed details on another of Stalin's secret weapons - the atomic bombs. Recognizing the threat, General Von Esling deployed A9 with his men to the Ural mountains, deep in Soviet territory, where they attacked the Dark Horseman military base housing the atomic weapons research and development center.[16] However, during their attack it turned out that the base also housed missile silos - and at the very moment it was apparent that the Allies could conquer the base, the missiles were launched against the European capital cities. Keeping a cool head, A9 left command of his surface forces to one of his lieutenants and personally commanded the squad that infiltrated the missile facility. With help from Tanya Adams who was quickly sent to assist, he managed to deactivate the four silos and prevent the missiles from detonating in Europe.[17]
