Its a puppet government in game, in reality its just a Nazi Facist government with the Royal family to keep the people loyal.

So, Addie became the Immortal God Emperor and Wehrmacht was turned into Adeptus Astartes? Well, I guess USA will not hold out too long :D I am joking :)

Go team Germany! ;)

Any special reason for Yugoslavia remaining the only free nation in the Balkans? :)

Never got around to taking it for some reason, I might let Italy and the minors have a feeding frenzy on it but its pretty close to being invite-able to the Axis anyways.

Thanks for the reply mate. Funny that is invite-able in 1945, usually it gets to that point much earlier, 1940-1941. Oh well, I am glad that it survived XD

I can see you're very patriotic, lol. Perhaps I will let them maintain their sovereignty, but only under the watchful eye of the Reich. :)

Blight on the Big Apple

“As a nation, we may take pride in the fact that we are softhearted; but we cannot afford to be soft-headed.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt.

American will is indeed strong, unwavered by the fall of their European allies, they continue to make offensives across the globe, however, with tremendous losses. Not only are we faced with the United States, but their northern and southern Allies as well, Mexico and Canada, while these nations are relatively underpowered compared to our glorious Reich, they offer a huge strategic advantage to the remaining Allies. This monumental challenge is only equal to our confidence, confidence that we will bring our greatness to an entire continent, a continent that throughout history, has been untouched by major war...

June 1945, a major collapse of American lines in the Singapore area has taken place, British and Japanese forces now threaten to completely destroy an entire US army in the area. May the odds be forever in their favor.

American collapse in Singapore.

The Reich's nuclear program, the Uranprojekt, is going splendidly, our scientists of the Reich Research Council have entered the final stages and a ready to test the bomb, Siberia seems like a prime location.

The worlds first uranium reactor.

Our strategic bomber program, the Amerika Bomber program, has finally proved fruitful, the most advanced bombers in the world, the Junkers EF 132 --a four engine jet bomber with incredible range and ceiling height-- are now bombing American industry and infrastructure. However, major eastern cities have been spared, they will be useful to us when our invasion begins, they are essential.

The first phase of Operation Mammut has also begun, we have taken our first step into Atlantic, our opening act: the Invasion of Iceland and Greenland. In every non-strategic aspect, these islands are essentially useless, although they must be captured to maintain naval superiority in the Atlantic.

Our opening act.
Operation Tannenbaum, the invasion of Switzerland, is staged to begin in October 1945, victory is predicted to be swift due to our finest mountain troops being deployed in the area. This is very much a side show, a prelude to the fireworks in the near future. Indeed the battle was over quick.

In December of 1945, after the US troops in the Singapore area were surrounded and destroyed, the Americans attempted another daring offensive, in Eastern Africa, lands of the former British Empire. An estimated two corps have been landed in the area, much of it mechanized, thus a single Panzerkorps was sent, however we would soon learn this wouldn't be as easy as our last desert campaign, the American's were formidable, we would learn much from the coming battles, for this was our first direct contact with American troops.

American landings in East Africa.

While defeat hasn't been a reality for the Wehrmacht sense 1918, we had not yet tasted a significant victory of our own against the USA. While we admire the will, the determination, the unity of the American people during these times, we must break them, break their will to fight, use the fullest extent of the ultimate doctrine: fear. On the 14th of January 1946 the Fuhrer authorized a nuclear strike of their greatest city: New York, the Big Apple, "No American soldier will continue to fight," he said "With the constant threat of annihilation looming overhead."

The world will never be the same, the face of warfare as we know it is gone.

Short but sweet, I think it sets the stage very nicely.
Thats still a massive US force in Malaya, slowly being wiped out. And East Africa of all places? The more troops the Americans throw away in far flung theatres, the weaker their home defences will be.
 
It felt just right in length to me.

Will be a short AAR if this is the end, eh?

We were referring to the previous update, i dont think the aar is finished, give him some time to get the next chapter out eh:)
 
Any screenshoot of your current navy size please? Thank you!

There is one, the Kreigsmarine hasn't grown in size or lost any ships sense my last naval screen.

Independence Day: The Invasion

“This operation is not being planned with any alternatives. This operation is planned as a victory, and that’s the way it’s going to be. We’re going down there, and we’re throwing everything we have into it, and we’re going to make it a success.”
-General Dwight D. Eisenhower

American propaganda poster 1945.
By now there was no way the Allies hadn't become aware of our massive buildup in our small North American holdings, further aided by Canadian intelligence, this attack would not be the surprise of Barbarossa. The Allied High Command learned concurrently the knowledge of our preparations and the knowledge that an Allied 'victory' was impossible, the best they could hope for was pushing us off the continent, even then where would they go from there? An invasion of fortress Europe was out of the question for decades, and what would stop us from bombing North America into oblivion with our new weapon? However, what is equally unlikely as an American victory was an unconditional surrender without a fight. Despite their bleak situation, they continue to churn out propaganda posters faster than they produce cheap Shermans, simple prey for our Tigers.

The Kreigsmarine vs. The USN: First Contact.
On the 29th of January 1946, our fleets met for the first time, for a short and small engagement. Unbeknownst to us at the time, the American's were at an extreme disadvantage, it was underestimated exactly how technologically inferior their fleets were to ours. Their fleet was larger, just barley, it contained battleships, while our 2. Tragerflotte contained none, they were particularly worthless in this engagement. Our carriers were at least twice the tonnage and size of their American counterparts, allowing us to engage the entirety of their fleet --battleships and carriers alike-- with CAG's to spare. No decisive hits were scored but their fleet took mild damage, hopefully this shows how future naval battles will go.

Our first naval encounter.
The next few months were uneventful, a slow and mild front against the Italians in Africa, the completion of our new industrial capacity, and tedious shipments of supplies and troops to North America. The silence broke in late June 1946, in the Afternoon of the 28th, major offensives against the Americans in East Africa began, in coordination with the Italians who launched more numerous small scale attacks against them from the north in Ethiopia. These offensives went surprisingly well, we even predicted a crushing defeat. Perhaps this success was attributed to our new divisions designed specifically to counter the massive amount of U.S mechanized divisions:

Panzergrenadier Div.
  • 1 Mechanized brigade.
  • 2x. TD brigade, equiped with Jagdtigers, Jagdpanthers and Jagdpanther II's.
  • 1x SP Rocket artillery.

Crushing victories.

Final Preparations.
June 30th, 1946, our Generals and Field Marshals went over their plans on last time before the invasion would begin, the date was set by the Fuhrer himself: July 4th, Independence Day. He claimed it would be "Ironic" and the day would be remembered in history as a replacement of the American Holiday. Commander of the operation, Reichmarshal Erwin Rommel, met the troops one last time, the propaganda ministry took advantage of the event: The highest ranking officer in the entire Reich meeting with thousands of the lowest, this only served to increase his popularity with the people.

53 year old Erwin Rommel meeting his troops.
After Rommel's charismic speeches, the stage was set, our guns were cleaned and loaded, our moral at an all time high, and above all, our minds sharpened. Our Korps were layed out to the beaches they would be storming:
  • Southern landing, Washington D.C: I. Marineinf.korps
  • Middle landing, (Remains) New York: II. Marineinf.korps
  • Northern landing, Boston: XXV. Armeekorps (5 SS Divisions)
  • Airborne landings: I. Fallschirmjagerkorps, II. Fallschirmjagerkorps.
  • Reserve: XXIV. Armeekorps

July 4th, 7:00

Early naval landings.
The landings began at dawn, every one of them unopposed, the real challenge would be Allied counter-attacks. Immediatly after our divisions organization was regained, we began our relentless march towards our objectives, Allied resistence was light, once in the cites the real battles began, however, this was no Stalingrad, and these cities fell within days considering their meager garrisons.

In the South, Washington D.C fell early, ahead of schedule, thats when the opportunity to cross the river to the south of the city unopposed presented itself, the leader of our elite SS-Korps assured the High Command that he was up to the task, and again, our advance was swift and deadly, lethal in fact to any amount of Allied troops met along the way. However, the strength of our SS-Korps was not great enough to take our 4th objective, the major Allied port and airbase to the south of D.C. Despite this, by the 10th of July, all of our phase I objectives have been met, the landings were complete, the door to the rest of America was open.

Our supply lines established.
The Oberkommando der Luftwaffe quickly set up air superiority from captured Allied airbases, we were lucky these are still intact. Air superiority quickly became air supremacy when the gap between our technology and the Allies became apparent, endless wings of piston-engine fighters thrown into our jets were destroyed, planes dropped like flies. The USAAF is still believed to have a substantial amount of air wings, but it is negligible after they all but disappeared from the skies after evaluating their losses.

Our aerial supremacy.
On the 20th of July, the second atomic bomb arrived in America for use of our strategic bombers, Field Marshal Von Manstein immedietly ordered the use of the Strategic weapon with permission of the Fuhrer, its target: Chicago. The Junkers Ju EF150 took off from its base in New York and dropped the bomb not much later. The United States of America would not last much longer at this rate.

Great update! New York and Chicago in ashes and the Wehrmacht has erected a powerful beachhead across the eastcoast. There is no way the enemy will be able to drive this force back into the sea.
I'm surprised the Americans still have such large fleets though, thyey need to be dealt with I think, or they could attack the shipping lines between Europe and the Americas.
