The Deathcorp Project is a experiment of re-animating German soldiers that were killed in the war. The project is led by Dr. Hess who is being threatened with his life to complete it by General Mueller and Major Kraus. Dr. Hess is succesful in bringing the soldiers back as zombies, but they are not loyal and turn on him. Later when the Nazis steal the serum from Andre Toulon he tries to incoporate it into his work, but he does not get the results he was looking for, all of the subjects either come back to life for only a few seconds and resort back to their behavior they had before they died or they have violent rage and need to be destroyed.

The Deathcorp Project was first used in the movie Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge and later in Puppet Master: Axis Rising a similar project using a resurrection device is used. It is unknown if these two projects are related.

Trivia

Actor Michael Todd who played the second zombie also played the Toulon Mannequin in Puppet Master II.
The scene where Dr. Hess is working on the first subject was much more gory, but they toned it down.

The Resurrection Device is a machine created by Dr. Freuhoffer while he is being held prisoner by the Nazis during the second World War. The resurrection project is an experiment using occultism to resurrect fallen German soldiers as powerful supreme beings that will rule the world under Commandant Heinrich Moebius's power. Adolf Hitler hated the project idea and refused to allow Moebius to carry it out, which forced Moebius to escape to the United States and hide out at Chinatown in Los Angeles, California and continue the project in secrecy. Freuhoffer experiments with two subjects, first a kidnapped Chinatown resident, he is put into the device but it fails and his body melts.

The second subject was Moebius's girlfriend Uschi, who he had previously shot for flirting with the other Nazis. Her corpse did the same thing and melted. Freuhoffer decided to scrap the device and use Tunneler (who Moebius has captured) and extract the fluid from him and use that to create Nazi puppets. The resurrection project is similar to Dr. Hess's Deathcorp Project which was being created in Berlin, Germany around the same time. One year later in 1942. Doktor Gerde Ernst attempted to recreate this method but failed due to not finding his notes which were destroyed in Kamikaze's explosion.

Death-Ray

Appearances	Blade the Iron Cross

The Death-Ray is part of a project lead by Dr. Hauser and is a continuation of Dr. Hess's original experiment on Andre Toulon's elixir. Hauser uses the elixir in tortured victims and by controlling the bio-energy inside them using a special device he is able to turn them into zombies that carry out his bidding, much like human puppets. He would study the elixir to be able to make his own substitute and not rely on it, but he was unable to reverse engineer it and needed the Scroll of Osiris. He had plans to eventually unleash these blood thirsty creatures across Moscow, London and all over the United States.

There is also a giant satellite that is built ontop of Hauser's hideout and was designed to be able to shoot out waves which would kill all the American citizens in its radius with very painful deaths and then it will send out a second signal that radiates bio-energy which resurrect them as zombie killing machines that would serve him as their master and assist the Nazi regime. It is revealed that district attorney James D. Madison and many other Americans working for the government were corrupt and helped fund this operation and that the bombing at the 202 Power Substation a few years prior was done to be able to convince the government to give out more supplies to repair the damage. After Blade had killed Hauser, his 'deadman switch' glove is set to make the activate and detective Joe Gray hands Blade a wrench to climb inside the control panel to deactivate it, which causes the satellite and hideout to explode.
