All set! Professor Merson will work for US, henceforth. I offered him more money than the Nazis were paying him. 
History
Hugo Merson was born in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1888. He defected to Germany in 1936. From then until mid-1940, he provided the Third Reich with a series of extremely capable mechanized, armored weapons systems, including the War Wheel(s), the Multi-Turret, Mechanical Worm(s), a giant high-speed tunneling machine, and "Der Roboter". He also was a skilled anaplastic surgeon, who permanently altered the faces of several German commando volunteers (the Five Zwilligs), to turn them into Hitler lookalikes, and another (Walter Schoener) into a duplicate of Blackhawk. Merson also developed tiny, potent, packets of explosives, and trained a large number of bats to carry these toward the distinctive noise made by Grumman XF5F Skyrocket engines.
In mid-1940, after being captured by the special Blackhawk unit, Merson was turned over to Winston Churchill, who hired him away to work for the Allies.
