Germany, Road to War,1936-1948

Very Hard/Very Agressive

This AAR is my first, and is meant to show how quickly Germany can conquer the entire planet. I hope to do this by 1945, but we'll see. I do not intend to play at all historically.

January 1, 1936

Scrap 2 air transport squadrons, not needed now.

Construction of 20 sea transport flotillas began, to be completed April 1, 1936.
All fleets combined in Kiel under Grand Admiral Raeder.
All Luftwaffe squadrons combined in Berlin.
16 divisions sent to Hamburg under Von Manstein, 3 panzer, 13 infantry.
3 infantry in each French border province, 2 in each Polish border province.
Trade on world market: 100 coal-50 steel
400 coal- 400 oil

Research order; land doctrines,infantry, armour, artillery, for now.


On March 8, 1936 German troops reoccupy the Rhineland in a glorious march. Flowers are thrown on tanks and parades of welcome are thrown. Propaganda minister Goebels decalres a moral victory for Germany and it's Fuhrer.

On April 1, 1936 Hitler and the OKH call a meeting in Berlin. Admiral Raeder reports of the 20 transports that joined his fleet. General Jodl briefed Generals Von Manstein, Rommel, Guderian, Von Boch, and Von Rundstedt on the secret invasion plans for the ill equiped and resouce rich United States.

The Briefing begins with a general layout of the plan by General Jodl.
"the invasion will take place in the Florida panhandle, where it is believed the US is weakest, and will allow for a rapid advance north and west."

Field Marschall Keitel briefs on commanding officers.
"General Von Manstein will be the beach head commander; when a beach head is established the army will be split up under, Von Manstein,Rommel, Guderian, Von Kuchler, Von Rundstedt, Von Kluge, and Von Boch."

The Army is loaded onto the Main Battle Fleet and sent on its way to the Yucatan sound.

April 21, 1936 the fleet arrives offshore.

People all over Germany are going about their daily routines. People walking in the streets of Berlin suddenly stop as speakers all over Germany crackle to life. The familiar voice of the Fuhrer Adolf Hitler announces that the United States has insulted the Fatherland and must be punished. At that very moment German armies are begining an invasion of the United States.

The beach head is established and the armies begin their offensive and quickly overan the ill equiped Americans. Washington is captured on April 30th and the armies move West. LA is captured May 20th, June 15th Von Kuchler amphibious assault on Panama, then sent to LA and arrives June 25th. Meanwhile the lower 48 is conquered by June 10th.

Von Manstein is sent to Aleutians and Hawaii.

Meanwhile Von Ribbentroff meets with Hitler and briefs him on the Spanish civil war. Hitler decides to send supplies to Nationalist Spain, but whoever wins will be conquered anyway.

A great whermacht parade is held in Berlin on August 6, 1936, planes fly over droping German flags, and tanks roll through Berlin covered in flowers. The United States has been Annexed!!! 1 down many to go.

A convoy system has been started from Florida to Hamburg.

April 7, 1936 WAR!!! declared on Germany by France, UK, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and New Zealand.

Canada is invaded via Seattle and Buffalo, Canada annexed August 17, 1936. 2 down.

August 20 troops repositioned in North America to beach heads.

All troops moved from Polish border to France.

Sept 9, 1936 18 Mech Divisions started training. Estimated completion Jan 9, 1937.

For the remainder of the year there are skirmishes on the Maginot Front, six British infantry divisions are destroyed.

January 9, 1937 six Mechanized Armies established on the Polish Border. The commanders are, Field Marschalls Von Kuchler, Von Manstein, Von Boch, and the Generals Von Kleist, Rommel, and Guderian who was promoted.

On Feb 8, 1937 25 special SS commandos dressed in Polish uniforms attack a radio Station in Germany and set up Germany for it's declaration of war. On Feb 9, 1937 the Fuhrer announces the declaration of war on Poland.

Poland is instantly overun with no resistance and annexed on Feb 30, 1937.

Over the airwaves Hitler announces the need to invade the countries to the east of the Fatherland to bring all Germanic peoples into the Great Reich. People all over Germany rise up and rally for their troops. As they push through countless countries.

Lithuania war is declared March 2 and is annexed March 4th.

jesus, i didnt realise the germans were that easy> i ve never played a game as germany, always reckoned itd be too ard, i may be proved incorrect. excellent aar so far, like just reading te statistics and a little storyline added in for freshness, its good. keep writing.
 
Overrunning the American lower 48 in 1936? I think the Japanese could have used you 67 years ago!
 
On May 14 1937 Hitler calls a meeting of the OKH. He announces that the following day (May 15) is a great day for the German Reich because Austria, homeland of ther Fuhrer will be added to the Reich.

The invasion begins at 0500 on May 15 as 18 mech divisons crash over the border into Austria, capturing Vienna by the 20th.

Austria is annexed the 28th of May 1937.

Now completely surrounded Czechoslovakia can now only wait for the German invasion, which begins on June 6, 1937.

The fortresses in the Sudentenland are outflanked and the Wehrmacht crashes through the Czech divisions. In just six days on June 12, 1937 Czechoslovakia is annexed.

The German army then moves to the Bulgarian border and annexes Albania on the 23 in just 2 days of fighting.

Hitler calls an emergency meeting at the OKH, he is worried about the mountainous terrain of Bulgaria. As the troops mobilize General Guderian explains to all the staff present his plan to cut Bulgaria in half trapping a portion of the Bulagarian army against the Black Sea where it will be destroyed. The plan is agreed on and preparations go forward.

On June 24 the Wehrmacht slices Bulgaria in half only hours after war is declared, and to the suprise of the commanders the Bulgarian army is easily beaten. The country is added to the Reich on July 2 1937.

The now veteran mechanized divisions move to the French border for Case Yellow.

In the maginot line directly facing Germany intelligence shows 30 french divisions defending the border.

War is declared on Luxemburg on July 17, all 18 mech divisons invade the country, and it is annexed July 19 1937.

The quick thinking Von Manstein acting on his own with no orders from Hitler rushes his divisions into a gap left in the Maginot line. He spreads out his armies completly cutting off the now 35 french divisions in the Maginot line.

Several days later 20 French divisions attempt a breakout against Germany's weakest position and our 4 mech divisions give the French a beating. The infantry from Germany is deployed to take the place of the Mech divisions. The mechanized troops easily overun France capturing Paris on august 20th and Vichy France is declared on august 30th 1937.
 
The infantry divisions now in france are moved to the beaches and the Mech divisions are sent to Denmark.

War is declared on Denmark on October 6 and annexed on October 12. Since the US isn't around germany gets Greenland and Iceland.

The Armies are then moved to Switzerland for their toughest challange yet. Field Marschall Von Kluge explains in an OKH meeting that because of the terrain and the strong fortresses he belives that the Swiss bicycle battalions will give the Wehrmacht a beating.

"We'll see" says Guderian.

On October 19 Switzerland is attacked, the whole country except the capital is instantly overun as the Swiss troops put up a tough fight in the capital. The entire invasion force is sent into the city and after heavy casualties is succesful.

Switzerland is annexed on the 28th of October 1937.

By the edge of a forest a set of chairs sits in a line, each one is occupied by Hitler and his top Generals, except Rommel.

Creaks and groans are heard from the nearby forest. Trees crash over and are crushed under the treads as a platoon of PanzerKamfwagen II's crashes out of the tree line.

"I want some!" Hitler exclaims

"Can we have some too?" Von Manstein and Guderian chime.

So on November 4 1937 18 Panzer II divisions are started, with an estimated completion of April 4, 1938.

Operation Sea Lion!

On December 13 1937 10 infantry divisions are loaded onto the fleet and head off to the UK. There is no resistance to the invading German infantry, and the UK is occupied by the 20th. The army is then sent to Northern Ireland.

War is declared on Ireland on Jan 19 1938 and easily taken over, and is annexed the 27 Jan 1938.

The divisions are distributed to the beaches in the British Isles and all is well.

The 18 Mechanized divisions are moved to the Soviet border in armies of 3 each.

On April 4th 1938 18 Panzer II divisions are deployed to the Soviet border in armies of 3 each.

Barbarossa is planned for the 8th of May 1938.

For weeks the OKH meets with Hitler and all of the Field commanders going over and refining the invasion plan. Von Manstein will lead the Northern most armies with the objective of cutting off and then capturing Leningrad. Von Boch will command the Southern most armies with the objective of Stalingrad. Rommel and Guderian will command two central armies wich will push for Moscow.

War is declared on May 8 1938! Barbarrossa!

The Soviet military is outnumbered by the German invaders. Within a few days 10 Soviet divisions are surrounded and destroyed.

On May 20th Von Manstein captures Leningrad, Von Boch captures Stalingrad the 25th.

Rommel and Guderian make good time, running over soviet divisions with their Panzers. Moscow is attacked on the 30th and is captured on the 5th of June 1938. Having no choice Stalin sends Ambassador Molotov to the Germans and sues for peach on June 12th 1938!

In Just 35 days the Soviet bear is defeated!

Parades are held throughout the Reich, in whats left of the free world leaders meet and discuss the consequences of Germany's victories.

The Wehrmacht appears unstopable.
 
I don't want to complain but a real German WC can't rely on the "invade the USA in 1936" exploit! it's too easy.....:p
 
F11 takes screenies, then you load them onto a web host site and place a link into a post like [img1]http://www.mysite.com/mypic.jpg[/img1] without the 1s after IMG and bmp or whatever the extension is if it isn't jpg.

The now organized air squadrons in Iran relentlessly bomb commonwealth divisions in India. All divisions in India are completely destroyed by September allowing a German invasion.

Just get your first unit of paratroopers and you'll get the rest of the world with ease!:D
 
I'm amazed at the speed your troops are able to move! Once when I went to war with Mexico as the US, it took me the better part of 6 months! And you got it in 10 days!? Hm, I probably was doing something wrong with supply or something, or maybe it's just a matter of technology (it was my first game, and was in 1936, so I really don't know :p)
 
Good grief. What type of fuel are you using? And aren't you a tad overextended manwise? Sounds like you have tons of divisions....
