Lately, the thought of Germany being wiped off the maps with the end of World War II has been in my head so much that i wanted to make a map about that, but since i suck at maps i gave up. So, i will share my thoughts here, leaving map-making to another, more talented fellow AH.com member... maybe. Well... World War I saw a majorly a**-fuck*d Germany... what if the winning powers of World War II, seeing that the Germans have caused two World Wars in a row (well, not the Great War, but at the end the nation that had to pay the worst consequences was the Reich) decide to cancel Germany from existence, letting all the neighbouring nations to annex some bordering parts of Germany, including Austria (since they decided to join the Reich willingly) and dividing the spoils of the Nazi state into 2 or more states, maybe an USSR controlled state, an USA-Allies controlled state and a neutral state, none of which retains the name of Germany? For making things worse for the Reich, i'd add more enemies to Hitler's personal list of threats: for example, Mussolini epically fails in turning Italy into his own dictatorship, so the Kingdom of Italy joins the Allies after a year of neutrality. With Italy supporting the Republicans of Spain, due to the "lobbying" of some left-wing factions of the Kingdom who can't be ignored by the Savoy house (well, if they did, probably a communist coup would begin), Franco and the Nazis have more trouble in seizing Spain, and the Republicans (after a bloody and rather nightmarish civil war, who turns Spain into a wasteland) win. Maybe the invasion of Salazar's Portugal would follow? Well, these are just ideas to make the Reich's war worse, and so contributing to make Germany so alone in the war that at the end the post-war situation of Germany is rather bad, so bad that an annexation-balkanization of Germany follows. Be free to kill the German state in any way you want.
