IC: Well, it looks like post-Eisenist Germany is on the fast train to a horror movie. This week the UN (1) confirmed it's in fact the Freie Deutsche Armee which used poison gas against civilians in Leipzig, and not President Freisler's troops as the cynical politicians in the Caliphate keep claiming. I knew from the start these "pro-freedom rebels" were actually Caliphate-backed Calvinist terrorists who hope to exploit Germany to their own ends. And every day we hear more Spanish and French Catholics answering the Pope's cry by joining pro-Freisler militia active in Bavaria. To make this even more complicated, Norway continues pumping huge amounts of money into the Lutheran militia groups active in Pomerania (2). At least the Poles have been left alone for now (3). Looks like Europe's troubles just continue.

(1) something like the UN emerged ITTL
(2) Norway is an extremely oil-rich kingdom which obnoxiously flaunts its wealth like OTL Qatar
(3) Poland is divided like OTL Kurds, and Poles are taking advantage of Germany's war to regain their independence
