Normal Difficulty
Goal. Defeat the Soviets in 4 weeks (or at least capture all the relevent VP by then to trigger the BP)
Short AAR, probably a few pages long.
20th April 1941.
The Fuhrer was in good spirits. From Bermuda to the gates of India the Reich stood triumphant. It was also his birthday and he was in Berlin. Ribbentrop walked in with a smile on his face. Due to the war Ribbentrops job had become largely redundent with a few nations browbeaten into joinig the Axis. Even Mussolini had required help in North Africa with the Panzers breaking through to Iraq.
" Happy birthday Mein Fuhrer" Ribbentrop greeted Hitler. I have excellent news fromt the foreign office". He haded over an envelope. The Japanese ambassador agreed to your proposal once our troops had reached Karachi".
The Japanese followed up the Fuhrer's invitation the following day with a prompt declearation of war upon the United States of America. Everything had been sacrificed to the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe. Not a single new ship, submarine or canoe had been buoilt for the Kriegsmarine except for some transports and convoy ships. The entire Kriegsmarine consisted of 3 heavy cruisers and a light cruiser. The Graf Spee served as the flagship.
4am 17 May 1941
The general staff had gathered for the upcoming offensive. The weather had cleared and the Fuhrer had summoned them.They knew about the upcoming attack on the Soviets, but not the details. Manstein, Guderian, Rommel, Model etc had to endure one of the Fuhrers rambles about the bolsheviks. They knew what was at stake but the Fuhrer had givin them an impossable task. He had not only demanded that they invade and subjugate Russia but they had been allowed 4 weeks to do it in!!!!!!! Leninggrad, Stalingrad, Baku and Moscow must fall and hopefully the Japanese would be able to capture Vladivistok. Hitler wasn't totally unreasonable. There was an allowence of an extra two weeks- ideally that would allow the Soviets enough time to throw in the towel. Plan B was to march all the way to Sverdlosk. Over 200 German divisons had been massed on the Soviet border.
Another 20 divisions or so of Axis troops were in Persia with Paratroopers standing by to seize Baku. Some of the best planes and pilots were in Tokyo to help bomb Vladivistok. With the new war against the USA time was critical. Once the Soviets had surrendered a massive fleet was planned to be built which may allow time for an invasion of the USA sometime in 1943. The entire western front beaches were defended by a rag tag force of Bulgarian and Hungarian troops. Bulgarian, Croatian, Slovakian, and Hungarian troops also defended the borders in Spain, Egypt and Persia.
