Operation: Anchorage
This week’s episode began with a pre-war flashback depicting Cooper fighting on the Alaskan front.

The liberation of Anchorage was most famously depicted in the Operation: Anchorage DLC for Fallout 3, which saw the player character entering a simulation to relive the historical battle.
