France Increases Armored Corps and Air Force

Slovakian Revolt Quickly Changes Leadership in the Country
A pro-Nazi faction has overthrown the Slovakian Government. With much surprise, the nation agreed to this change of power. Rumor has it that non-German propaganda has led to this revolution. With the majority of the nation is under the new Pro-Nazi Governments control, only a small underground group of Slovakian Nationalists resist the new government. The new government pledges allegiance to the Germans. The Germans have responded by sending a large group of infantry to instate German rule over the newly gained province. The infantry has suffered minor casualties to resistance but it is unlikely that the resistance will last much longer. The majority of the Slavs came out and threw parades for the soldiers and many of the Slavic Divisions pledged loyalty to Himler while others just disbanded.
