However, Joe lost contact with Republican HQ not long after he entered Imperialist territories. Another superpower, "the Republic" (ostensibly modeled after the real-life United States), then at war with the Imperial State, sent a commando named Super Joe to retrieve the plan and to stop Weitzmann. Generalissimo Weitzmann, leader of the Imperial army, decided to realize the plan himself. The story begins with a solo narrative: somewhere in the 1980s, a top-secret WWII-era Nazi document called "Plan Albatross" was discovered by the Imperialists. Nazi ideology was carried on by a nation called "the Imperial state". The game is set in an alternate timeline, in which Nazism is not completely eradicated following the defeat of the Third Reich in WWII. Due to anti-Nazi censorship in the West, the international version Bionic Commando omitted all Nazi references like swastikas, and changed the name "Hitler" to "Master D" and "Weitzmann" to "Killt" the main storyline is otherwise unchanged.
