In September 1944, World War II continues to engulf Europe. Seeking an edge on the battlefield, Nazi forces carry out experiments with artificial vampire technology. Although the project remains far from its ultimate objective, even the preliminary results of the research pose a serious danger to the anti-German alliance. Determined to put a halt to the Nazi scheme and safeguard England and the Allies, Sir Arthur Hellsing, the current leader of the Hellsing family, dispatches Walter C. Dornes and Alucard—his finest operatives—to German-occupied Poland, the site of these monstrous experiments. The Hellsing: The Dawn specials are included on bonus discs packaged with Hellsing Ultimate Limited Edition volumes, beginning with volume 8.

In this installment

When darkness and evil stalk the night, feeding on anyone in their path, Hellsing serves as humanity's last line of defense against these monstrous foes. Under the command of Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, the organization wields a powerful military force to shield the populace from the undead. However, Integra's most potent asset is Alucard, a vampire who preys on his own kin. Working alongside his newly turned subordinate, Seras Victoria, Alucard confronts supernatural adversaries and any who dare challenge Hellsing's authority, irrespective of their moral standing. As the survival of mankind hangs in the balance, Hellsing Ultimate demonstrates that true strength can arise from the most unforeseen origins, proving that even the most fearsome creatures may become humanity's greatest guardians.
