Chapter 5 -The Anschluss of Austria!
January 1st 1938- June 1st 1938
The year started with an announcement on January the 9th that elements of the private sector who do not have Germanys best interests at heart were to be nationalised, to better benefit the people. Head Of Industry ArneHD was thus ordered to nationalise several companies, to increase our Industrial efficiency and assert more control over our economy.
4 days later, it was discovered that one of our Field Marshals, Werner von Blomberg, is to be married to a former prostitute. Obviously this will not do, and he has to be forced from office! We simply can not have important members of German society dealing with such persons!
The following month the Japanese came to us seeking recognition for their puppet nation of Mengkukuo.
A choice has to be made, should we withdraw our mission from China and foster better relations with the Japanese, or stay out of it and risk angering Japan? In the end we simply have to keep the Japanese friendly, they are a potential ally against the Soviets, and whats more the Chinese have communists in their midst and we can not deal with the red menace in such fashion!
A few days after this, another retirement was forced as the Supreme Commander moved to gain further control over the German Army. Using the abilities of Propaganda Minister swed14, allegations were made against the target man, and he was forced to give up his position.
During March our intelligence units brought us information that Stalin was launching the ‘Great Purge’ in the USSR. Eliminating anyone not seen to be ‘loyal’ to him, it appear many of the officers from the Red Army are being put in front of firing squads. It seems Stalin is doing our job for us! With such foolishness, the Red Army will be severely weakened for the time being, meaning we can expand eastwards without fear of Soviet reprisal! With their leaders and tatictians dead, it will take the Red Army many months if not years to recover itself!
March 29th, a great day for Germany! After weeks of political pressure, with threat of invasion, the nation of Austria came part of the Greater German Nation! After giving support to the Austrian National Socialist Party, we were able to help them organise a coup the day before a referendum on Austria’s independence was due, and our troops quickly moved in to take control, cheered by crowds of Austrians as we marched in! The Chancellor of Austria, Kurt Schuschnigg who opposed unification has been sidelined and Austria is now under full German ownership.
The Anschluss of Austria has been achieved!
This is a major step in our desire to create a German empire encompassing all German speaking people and Germanic lands! The next step is to re-unite the German speaking peoples of Sudetenland with the motherland, and free them from the ilk of Czech oppression! Moves shall be begun to put pressure on the Czech government….
During April, the Supreme Commander and his Head Of the Luftwaffe Kan' Sharuminar
were pleased to see reports on their desks, signed by Deputy Head of the Luftwaffe Godwyn, stating that great progress was being made on training our pilots in new doctrines and combat techniques. Serious commitment to the Luftwaffe will ensure success of our Blitzkrieg, using their planes to support our Panzer divisions as they crush the enemy!
We end this update with a look at the state of affairs in China on June the 1st 1398.
As you can the Japanese have been making big advances into China, though still have plenty of work to do. Reports indicate there still seems to be heavy fighting around Nanjing, and none of the despised Chinese Communist factions lands appear to have been taken yet! We hope the Japanese will be able to achieve at least somewhere of a victory their, and then look northwards at driving the Communists from that wasteland Siberia! The more powerful the Japanese grow in the east, the more divisions the Soviets will have to allocate to the region, away from Europe….
