Germany 2 1938

The new orders have come in. Captain has given us a list of objectives to accomplish throughout the war.  This war, we are putting our foot down. We are NOT going to accept defeat. We will not be humiliated once more. In 1939, we have come up with an operation to take out the first territory of Poland. The battle should be easy. Almost too easy. We also plan to ally with Belgium and the Netherlands to try to gain access to France. If they do not choose to ally with us, then we will conquer them anyways. We need to take Frances resources and play our cards from their. Japan will be a huge help as well Italy. No one compares to the power of Germany. We will get revenge. 

Germany 2 1939

This was a very successful year with many Axis powers victories! The Third Reich starts off with invading Poland with an easy victory. Next we signed a non-aggression pack with the USSR. We also allied with Belgium and we took over the Netherlands.  In the process of all of this, we have gained many resources to boost our overall army rating. Our next plan in 1940 is to take Norway, Sweden, and Denmark to seize the resources that they have. Soon we will be able to invade France and take revenge on them for the Treaty Of Versailles. Japan has been doing exceptionally well in conquering Eastern countries. Hitler is predicting an attack soon from France and Great Britain, but they will be no match for the German army. Once we get the resources we need, no one can stop us.

Germany 2 1940

We suffered a crushing loss that was crucial to German success this year. Our orders were to sail up North with our strong Navy and take Norway and Sweden to get get the precious resources. But, on November 17th, The British Navy took us by surprise and completely wiped out all the Navy that we had. Ships were blown up, shrapnel spread across the Baltic Sea. Thousands of lives were lost in a crushing defeat. We had knew we had two options going forward if we were going to get those resources. We either had to get permission from Russia to be able to transport our troops through there land, but that would take till the end of the simulation, or our clever idea of making a secret alliance with Sweden to take some of the resources. It’s not all of them, but we took what we needed to fuel our army! Meanwhile, Japan has officially taken out China and Japan is making it’s way to the Americas. Japan and Rumania have also made some generous donations of resources to Germany for a great cause: Germany taking over the world. In 1941, we plan to take out France and take their resources. Nothing will stand in our way anymore. 

Germany 2 1941

Get me a beer! What a successful year for the powerful Nazis! We successfully took over two thirds of France and we plan on finishing them off. We got permission from Belgium to send troops through there land in order to invade France. France was fiercely outnumbered as we sent 5,500 troops past enemy lines in a quick battle. The French were weak, we need new competition! Competition that will be able to stand up to the power of Germany! Our next move is a good question. We plan to take the last region of France to gain the precious Iron resources. Although, the United States has officially entered the war. They are also drafting and becoming stronger by the thousands as we blink our eyes. Finally someone that may be able to stand up to the power of the Hitler and The Third Reich.  Japan still plans to attack East toward the United States, but it may be wise to hold back to see what they do. In year 1942, it’s about to go down!

Germany 2 1942

Well, you don’t win them all. We were able to finish taking France and fend of the powerful British Navy. We then transported all of our troops from Germany into Poland in an attempt to take the eastern region of Poland. We sent in many troops, but the Russian Army outnumbered us greatly. We almost won, but there was nothing left in the tank. In 1943 we plan to finish taking Poland and start working our way inland of Russia! Meanwhile Japan is planning to attack Eastern Russia with all of his troops possible. Japan has manifested an unlimited supply of resources and is going to use them to their advantage. The United States is planning something big. Rumor has it that the United States has begun manufacturing an atomic bomb. We are unsure of their progress. We are starting to spread ourselves pretty thin across Europe. Our troop supply is running low. With Russia joining the Allies, finishing this war will be tough, but with the power that we have, we can do this! If we can get inside of Russia, that will be big to close out this war. 

Germany 2 1943

The United States are starting to make some moves. They have started shuffling their navy and making their way over to Great Britain. I believe that they are going to make an attack on France with Great Britain. Our troops supply is extremely low on the western front. We have already begun heading East to officially take out the USSR. We successfully invaded Poland and we also took control of Belarus of the USSR. In 1944, we plan to continue invading East USSR in an attempt to take them out. We hope that we can meat in Central USSR with Japan to join forces because we predict that the United States are going to take France. Troops supply is vague and we won’t stand a chance no longer on the Western Front. 

Germany 2 1944

My predictions were right. The United States and Great Britain officially took back France. They are making their way East taking out everything in their way. Germany doesn’t have much troops left to spare so we are still making out way East as well to take out whatever we can from the USSR. I have a feeling the war is going to come to an end soon. I will only have to fight on the front lines a couple more times. We plan on splitting our troops in Belarus to take over Central USSR and Northern USSR. Japan plans to take over Siberia and Eastern USSR and take over Urals in the next upcoming year. We are going to try to make out way down to Southern USSR and Caucasus. Whatever happens, my wife should know that I love her. I will make it back. I promise. 

Germany 2 1945

The United States and Britain are destroying everything in their path. We continue retreating east conquering the USSR piece by piece. Japan has successfully taken Siberia and has taken over Urals. We have finally met our troops with Japan in Central USSR. The Allies continue to take over everything in the East. Including our own territory. Rumor has it that my home and my farms were burnt down to the ground. All my cattle and crops were destroyed. Those savages killed my dog Jack. Thankfully, my family has made it out of the country and is hiding in a cabin up next to the border of Denmark. A place that no body knows about.  Our troops and Japan’s troops are going to team up and take over Southern USSR for our last hoorah. We were able to capture it very easily, but we don’t have the numbers to take on the Allies. We need more troops, but I will die on this battle field knowing that I fought for the success for Germany. Even when our ruler stopped believing in us. Hitler has committed suicide and we are now left on our own. I will die on this battlefield for my family.
