Prologue:

This timeline is about the fictional escape of Nazis to Indonesia at the end of the war. A more radical version of Argentina OTL, Indonesia comes under the influence of their fascist ideology and history is forever changed. Please have a read and give some feedback.


The Journey So Far

On the 13th of December, 1942, leader of the NSB (National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands or the Nazi Party of Holland) Anton Mussert travels as a dignitary to Berlin. He is announced by Adolf Hitler as the Führer of the Netherlands People. While on his weeklong trip to delegate with senior nazi officers, Mussert is questioned by none other than Chief of the Parteikanzlei, Martin Bormann, about some of the dutch colonies. Bormann explains that to garner support for the Nazi Party and their ideology after the eventual win in World War II over the allies, Nazi funded Revolutions and political movements were being funded in many nations around the world to prepare for the new world order. Operation Awakening is the name, with an objective to create separatist movements around the world. The primary target of the questioning to Mussert regarding his nations colonies had been the South American nation of Suriname, and the Dutch East Indies was only mentioned sparingly.

Weeks pass and the Soviet-counter attack at Stalingrad is a massive success to the Communist power, and a blow to Germany. Martin Bormann, now becoming increasingly concerned with the wars progress and the mind of Hitler, discusses Operation Awakening to Japanese Ambassador Hiroshi Ōshima. The Japanese, who on their course for success in the pacific, had conquered many countries. Oshima pointed out Indonesia as perfect for the project at hand. He explanation is that, having been oppressed by the Dutch rulers, and having been left without a national identity, the Indonesians were both malleable for nazi ideology, and had the helping hand of Japanese occupation to force the issue of a new political movement. Martin Bormann was so impressed that he ordered that Mussert of Holland to be re-summoned to Berlin.

Anton Mussert arrives a few weeks later, and the war has gotten worse for the Germans. Bormann instructs Mussert to form a ring-wing political movement in Dutch East Indies. He is given full support from the Japanese occupiers and also part of the Nederlandsche SS to gain control.

---There is a time lapse here, where not a lot happens (although that could change with tinkering to the storyline and timeline as a whole).---

Now in the middle of 1944, following the Allied landing in Europe, the war has become a disaster for the Third Reich. Bormann understands that evasive action must be taken to preserve the party goals. Operation Eagle Flight is launched. The Operation is the “massive flight of money, gold, stocks, bonds, patents, copyrights, and even technical specialists from Germany” to another country for the longevity of the party, and so as that the final goal of a 1000 year Reich could be completed.

Over in the DEI, the Mussert led fascist movement is working well. There are two large political parties that had formed in Jakarta. The right-wing movement of Mussert, and the left-wing party led by a man called Kusno Sosrodihardjo or ‘Sukarno’. With limited to no success in any other country that participated in Operation Awakening, Bormann chooses the Dutch East Indies as the target destination for the German possessions. Slowly, without being noticed by the Allied forces (and also the anti-defeatist and senile Adolf Hitler), possessions and people begin to travel by either Submarine through the waters of the Atlantic, or through German controlled Africa to the Japanese occupation zone, from which there is a safe passage to DEI.

By the time Allies storm into Berlin in early 1945, most senior officials are either dead or have disappeared. Hitler is caught alive, and is famously trialled at Nuremberg.

POSSIBLE CONTINUATION:

So guys, that was my ideas for during the war. After the war IOTL there is a National Revolution between the dutch and the Sukarno led Indonesians that lasts four years. My first question to you all is – How would this right-wing faction with Nazi-funded military and tactics fare in the war? Would the dutch try to liberate the nation of Nazis for years, or just leave to lick their wounds in Europe.

Anyway, any thoughts and questions are great.
