GERMANY: THE TARGET
(aka "Turn the fash into nuclear ash")
When Germany Repudiated Versaille, Remilitarized and annexed Austria, we gave in;
When Germany Dismembered Czechoslovakia and Reshaped Central Europe, we gave in;
When Germany Invaded Poland, we gave in, not daring to attack;
And When our troops were defeated in Northern France, we gave in to the Nazis, leaving them a free hand to conquer the East.
One by one cities fell to the Germans: Kiev, Leningrad, Moscow. The Soviet people fought fervently but they couldn't win decisive battle against the Wehrmacht and eventually, they split without a leader. Then, we started to hear rumors, hearsays from the occupied territories, too terrible to be believe. Until what happened became clear, Death and Slavery on an industrial scale, Engineered famines that depopulated countries, the systematic destruction of the culture and memory of entire peoples. And it was too late to intervene, the Germans were fortifying the Atlantic Wall after shifting their ressources west and the awakened American Giant was focused on the final confrontation of the Great Pacific War.
Germany and Britain hunkered down on their positions, putting pressure on each other while the Free World led by America was working together to counter the Nazi Empire but despite the nuclear superiority an invasion was still deemed too costly. Instead, we sat on our hundreds of airfield and bases, focusing on merely containing Fascism, more and more confident it would eventually burn itself out if it couldn't spread.
And Indeed, the supposedly Thousand-Year long Reich collapsed, an extremely militarised state centered on the cult of personality of its leader who could only keep the cutthroat branches of the fanatical state from killing each other. It only needed his death, and a bomb in Germania. Everybody was expecting it, yet nobody was prepared for the Chaos.
As germany became a battleground the oppressed people of Europe rose up, from Brest to Moscow every desesperate groups decided to strike at the same time despite the lack of coordination, some misjudged the local forces and were crushed others carved out their freedom from the Nazi Empire, everybody took the opportunity, everybody except us.
Why the Free world didn't directly intervene is still a mystery a few years later, some say it was a conflict of interest between the various free countries, other advocated patience and measure to eventualy deal with the last Fascist contender standing, many were afraid of the German missiles. But it doesn't matter, the freedom fighters of Europe looked up to us and we failed to helpd, despite a decade of preparation we did not dare to do more than timid strikes at the periphery and giving indirect support to the most prominent revolutionaries. At the most crucial moment, we gave in once more.
The inevitable then happened: After months and months of fighting, one of the Nazi contender seized Germany proper, a wasteland for sure, but that faction, more fanatical than ever, still controlled the most productive wasteland across a devastated Europe. Slowly but surely they have been retaking freed cities, Prague, Bratislava, Kracow, determined to retake their conquest and destroy all who betrayed them, and with every passing months their nuclear stockpile, initially insignificant and terribly late compared to ours, grows larger and larger and as we have seen from Warsaw, they are clearly not reluctant to use them.
Across Europe, In France, in former Russia, in Poland, resistant groups are still strong, but there is no doubt that alone they cannot withstand this fanatical onslaught. We are at the crossroads, either we act decisively and destroy the Nazi Empire at its very center, or we would have yielded one final time, like cowards who let a Continent be destroyed.
Against a nuclear armed Germany resolute to destroy what is left of Europe one final time there is only one option: the immediate strategic atomic destruction of Germany. Yes, this would sign the death warrant of millions of Germans, and put at risk millions of Britons and other freed or oppressed European but for every week we wait untold victims are dying, the massacre can only end with the instant decapitation of the Nazi Empire, whatever the cost.
Future pundits will wonder if it would have been worth it, why bring more death to a country which has already undergone a civil war? Would the destruction of some of our cities have been worth it? But they will have the benefit of hindsight and they will be removed from the ongoing massacre, a massacre that surpasses what anyone has done in History, surpassing even what the Nazis did to Russia last decade. It is a moral obligation to strike now and put down Fascism forever.
We need a joint strike to preserve what is left of Europe.
A Genocide of a dozen millions to save a hundred.

Well this was rather fun to make, I started this map more than a year ago and only restarted working on it with the lockdown, this is supposed to be in a divergent scenario of a TWR mod timeline, really any where one of the civil war factions wins early after a short civil war, I purposely made the writeup vague, showing a poster advocating for the destruction of Germany
