Organization Der Ehemaligen Schutzstaffel Angehörigen (ODESSA) was the famous, or infamous, secret protocol and program in which Himmler, Bormann and Reinhard Gehlen would relocate to an "amicable" country or, later revealed to be Peron's Argentina ("dictator" of Argentina from 1946 to 1973), Getulio Vargas-Cafe Filho's Brazil (Vargas first democratic turn 1950—1958, succeeded by Cafe Filho 1958-1966, Vargas second democratic government 1966-1970) and Marcos Evangelista Pérez Jiménez's Venezuela (1950-2001) and most Mediterranean countries, all of which desired top notch intelligence services and armies.
Himmler, unlike the Fuhrer Adolf Hitler, had understood the war was lost, otherwise he wouldn't had tried to set up a different peace with the Allies just a year before the Red Army had swarmed Norway and Denmark and swallow Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Otto Skorzeny and Reinhard Gehlen also founded a brother organization, called The Spider, unbeknownst to Bormann and Himmler. The reason being that Die Spinne was suppose to be ODESSA back up plan, "a secret organization within a secret organization" would recall Skorzeny in his memoirs, while they served the same countries, they didn't trust Himmler and Bormann to keep quiet long enough or discreetly enough to never be caught,which revealed itself to be a partly right theory, considering Himmler was caught by Posadist insurgents and Bormann's death would in 1972 be revealed to the world public just a few weeks later he passed away.
Many hypothesised OSS operatives in disagreement with President Henry A. Wallace's refusal to recruit former Nazis aided both Die Spinne and ODESSA but it is yet to be confirmed. He is also reported to have worked for Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina and the Mediterranean countries post-war
If one is to believe, to Skorzeny, "Americans helped me escape", it is a fact
November 1944 to July 1945
Fall of Karafuto, Chishima rettō, Manchukuo, Korea and Vietnam's January Revolution
It might have seemed, at the time the deaths of Mao and Chiang's, the war was already won for Japan. Unfortunately, this was not the case. With the death of Mao the CCP was now participating more actively to the Chinese front and with Chiang's death the KMT had much better leadership, both political and militarly, with Sun Fo, son of the long deceased Sun Yat Sen, “leading the charge“ of an United China.
While the Soviet Union was busy starting to "liberate" Poland, Turkey and Norway (the first two much more defended and entrenched by the , the Japanese were loosing ground on all accounts to the Americans.
In November, the United States Army had landed in Korea and Manchukuo, in December they were planning to execute what could have been the largest invasion of the history of man, perhaps bigger than the Southern France landings, the mainland invasion of Japan.
Hiroito, pressed by his family, no longer had interest in continue fighting, unlike some generals or soldiers who were as fanatical as the Nazis.
The Emperor finally made a decision after even the Mongol United Autonomous Government had capitulated and Karafuto was being occupied by the Anglo-American forces.
While Churchill was busy arguing and convincing Henry A. Wallace to leave the former puppet states and colony of Japan as independent countries due to the KMT past friendly relations with the URSS, the Japanese Emperor was about to prepare his speech to his nation, to announce the war "had not proceeded in the favor of Japan".
In the end of January, UK-USA forces had landed in Japan, starting the eight years of occupation, meanwhile the last territory of French Indochina was liberating itself from the last remaining Franco-Japanese forces, being guided by the Viet Minh and first President Ho Chi Minh declaring the Provisional Democratic Republic of Vietnam, with both Malenkov and Wallace quick to recognize the young state, trying gain favor with the new order of the small Asian country.
Mussolini by April had seen the writing on the wall and was allegedly planning his escape, however Anglo-American forces had already engulfed Lubiana, Savoia, Nizza, Liguria and many other regions of the Bel Paese.
Kesselring was trapped as much as the Duce, sawing no way out, with Milan being cut off from the rest of the territories still under German and Italian Social control.
He ate lunch one last time, and accompanied by what little had remained of their forces, surrendered to the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, counting on a better treatment by Getulio Vargas troops.
Everyone surprised to see the former bombastic orator surrendering to the tropical country troops.
After the initial shock the Smoking Snakes gave the custody of the Duce to the Anglo-American forces, when Eisenhower questioned the BEF about Kesserling whereabouts, the reply was :
<< He is a ghost now >>
Of course, the USA wanted to investigate further, but by the time they had started, the war was over.
Wallace was hesitant to use the bomb for many weeks, he had hoped the Third Reich would have listened to reason just like the Italian Social Republic and Japan; the Luftwaffe was almost gone, Red Army troops were pouring over Northern Germany, the Low countries and Northern France, with the Wehrmacht on its last legs any other leader knew the war was over.
Hitler however kept fighting.
The 33th President of the United States authorized POD ("Protocol Overlord's Downfall"). The greenlight was something that he would later remark in his second term : "I will never be proud of that moment, never. I wish we had other options. I wish we didn't have to choose between half a million soldiers of our country and half a million enemy civilians".
