PREMISE
In 1945 Nazis, using flying-saucers, escaped to and colonized the 
Dark side of the moon. They call themselves the Fourth Reich. 
Ever since, and unknown to us, they’ve been plotting their return. 
Their Fleet is currently in Low Earth Orbit, bombarding New York 
With large Moon rocks and sending down waves of Attack saucers.
Unknown to the Nazis and to each other, each of the major Earth 
Nations has secretly weaponized their communication and science 
Satellites. These have now banded together to fight off the 
Nazi Invasion Fleet. 

VICTORY
Complete destruction of the opposing Fleet.
