The landscape the video opens up on is... bleak to say the least. The landscape is blasted and pitted; the few trees that haven't been cut down for fuel or fence posts are barren and lifeless. In fact, there's very little all to indicate any sort of context for this memory and the fact that it's the dead of night doesn't help; far in the distance there's some kind of structure but it's too far off and too dark to make it out clearly.
A moment passes and then a person steps into view. A soldier, wearing a uniform that Steve no doubt knows well - a WWII German uniform. Which explains when this is. And possibly also what the structure looming in the distance is, given the blasted landscape around it. The soldier stops, for a moment, looking nervously around him... and then a figure coalesces out of the faint shadows offered by a thatch of dead trees - in the blink of an eye he's on the soldier, teeth sinking into the man's neck. The soldier startles at that, twisting away, a look of horror on his face as he looks back at Tesla in full-on vampire mode, the light of the moon casting devilish shadows over him.
To the soldier's credit he does start to raise his gun; but there's a menacing snarl from Tesla and the man, already half-terrified, flees into the darkness.
Only once the soldier has vanished into the darkness does Tesla let go of his vampiric ancestry, a look of utter disgust on his face as he vanishes back into the darkness.
