History Recap / BigFinishDoctorWho025Colditz

The Doctor baffles everyone with his two hearts, and plays some spoons on the Nazis. Ace, meanwhile, attracts a very nasty character named Feldwebel Kurtz (first BigFinishDoctorWho role for [[DavidTennant some guy who would later have a bit part in the revived series]]), who tries to get her naked and at his mercy as quickly as possible. He's also very confused by her portable CD player. Luckily for Ace, these are the kind of realistic Nazis who adhere to the Geneva Conventions and don't particularly care for Hitler's master race theory, so she's treated like an actual human being and Kurtz is reprimanded for perving on her.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The Doctor briefly hums something that sound suspiciously like the ''DoctorWho'' theme song.

Meanwhile, Ace doesn't actually die in her escape attempt, because Kurtz wants to suck up to Klein and decides to let Ace live for that reason. This means that Klein's time travel is already starting to unravel the Web of Time. When Klein reveals that she was only able to pilot the TARDIS with the help of her friend Johann Schmidt, the Doctor finally realises what happened: after being shot and killed by the Nazis in the future, he would have regenerated into the Eighth Doctor, befriended Klein for years, and eventually convinced her to steal the TARDIS from Nazi headquarters and travel back in time. [[spoiler: Eight also programmed the TARDIS to vworp off as soon as Klein landed, leaving her stuck. All along, Klein was an unwitting pawn, whose only purpose was to loop back in on her own paradox (which Eight couldn't have done without very seriously upsetting time itself) and undo everything that happened, including the Doctor's own regeneration.

And if the Nazis were never able to control the TARDIS without Eight's help, something else must have led them to win the war...]] [[GivingRadioToTheRomans Ace's CD player. Its technology gave the Nazis ''lasers']]', which naturally led to the discovery of nuclear power well before its time. Ace is ''not'' happy with the realisation that her carelessness enabled a global holocaust.
