Ok, getting a little bored at work, so I decided to share this little challenge with you guys.
Your challange, should you choose to accept it, is to have a formal surrender by the Nazi government as soon as possible, with a POD the day Soviet forces linked up at Kalach*, trapping the 6th army in Stalingrad.
Restrictions:
- keep it somewhat realistic, even if improbable to a degree
- no premature German political collapse (so no succesful Valkyrie-type plots or assassinations of Hitler followed by civil war or surrender)
- no ASB events such as asteroids, supervolcanoes or the like
- no Operation Vegetarian
Earliest victory wins.
Have fun !
