Plot
Somewhere in France 1944, U.S. soldiers are attacked by Hydra, but Captain America arrives to save them and fends off the Hydra forces before contacting Howard Stark with regards to the enemy weapons.
While in radio communication with Peggy Carter, Captain America learns that the munitions recovered from the battle came from the Bavarian mountains based on the rare metal used and is briefed on Hydra scientist Dr. Arnim Zola's Project: Master Man, which involves unlocking the human genome's secrets and achieving immortality. En-route to Castle Zemo, heavy anti-aircraft fire forces Captain America to drop into the Bavarian castle. He then disables anti-air cannons so the Invaders can drop safely as well as destroying a nearby armory.
As Captain America gives the go-ahead to deploy the rest of the Invaders, Hydra deploys a new energy cannon. Captain America rushes to destroy a nearby radar dish being used to direct the cannon, where he fights Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker. Captain America witness the plane carrying the Invaders hit by the cannon, relieved to see its occupants bail out, before being knocked unconscious in a surprise attack by Strucker. Captain America awakens in Zola's lab, with Iron Cross and Madame Hydra restraining him as Zola explains how he drew samples of the Captain's blood to recreate Dr. Abraham Erskine's Super-Soldier Serum and captured some of the Invaders before imprisoning Captain America in the castle dungeons.
Captain America breaks out of his cell and recover his equipment as he makes his way through the Hydra complex. He rescues Bucky Barnes, who informs him that Dum Dum Dugan and James Falsworth, among other POW's, are being held captive nearby. Captain America and Bucky help the POWs escape captivity before the former decide to split up to rescue Dugan and Falsworth. With Bucky leading the POWs to safety, Captain America frees Dugan before pursuing Madame Hydra, who has taken Falsworth. He eventually catches up and fights her, though she escapes.
Learning that Hydra's leader, the Red Skull, is arriving to see Zola's work and bringing the Cosmic Cube with him, Captain America decides to pursue him instead. He soon arrives in Zola's special lab, where he prevents Zola from giving the Red Skull a perfected Super-Soldier Serum and defeats Iron Cross. However, the Red Skull awakens the Sleeper, which destroys the lab and covers the Red Skull's escape while Zola activates a robot body for himself in another room. Surviving the destruction, Captain America pinpoints Falsworth's location to a nearby village.
Just as he finds Falsworth, Captain America battles Zola's robot before freeing Falsworth. Reuniting with Barnes and Dugan, Captain America rallies the Invaders in a final fight to destroy the Sleeper, battling more of Zola's robots and Hydra forces along the way. Captain America narrowly escapes the castle's destruction and leaves the area with the Invaders and the rescued POWs.
