Well folks, since last year I'm in the mood to start a new timeline. The college took me a long time (and, today, it still takes more time), but still I did not lose the will. From time to time I felt like returning to the narrative, and nothing better than writing something without compromises but the satisfaction of those who read.

So that's it ... I started a Hearts of Iron game earlier in the week and the urge to make a timeline reappeared. I can not promise you that the project will have an expected conclusion. But I will go as far as possible and in the way that is possible in order that this project has an end, which I wish, is satisfactory for me and for those who may accompany the reading.

It will not be a necessarily historical game, but I will use various points of history, of course.



Prologue

Versailles, France. June 28, 1919. This was the place and day on which infamy had given its last chapter in the History of Greater Germany. This chapter began in November 1918 when the will of men, traitors of the Reich, representatives and even members of those who had forced Kaiser Wilhelm II to resign from his throne, signed the vile armistice at Compiègne.

The representatives of the Allied Powers forced Germany to accept humiliating clauses ... Prohibitions and restrictions that violated the perpetual right of the State Nations. The Imperial Navy had been virtually destroyed or cannibalized under the terms of British naval repairs, limiting unacceptable naval tonnages and forbidding the submarine force to that of the once powerful naval force. The German Army was limited to no more than one hundred thousand enlisted men, forbidden to own armored cars and manufactures destined to the production of diverse types of arms as well as the importation of arms. The German Air Force had been extinguished and relegated only to the civilian sector. The national territory of the Reich was divided between French, Belgians, Danes, Poles, Lithuanians and Czechoslovakians. Colonial possessions were divided between French, British, South African and Japanese. Heavy damages and repairs should be paid for future decades.
To the German people, outraged and overburdened by such debt, there remained only the disorder and insurrection promoted by politicians of a perverse nature.

The decadent nations that signed the Treaty of Versailles were not interested in making a real commitment to peace. They sought only to plunder and distribute the Reich as the great lions of Africa when they slaughtered a prey. More than just plundering the greatness of the German people ... They tried to attach to the fetters a power and momentum never before seen in World History. Despite being stripped of its brightness, Germany was a permanent and imminent danger to the fearful and despicable nations, which for some moments achieved some success.

Despite such hardships, it would be in Munich, Bavaria, that a promising future would begin to be drawn. It would be in this city where the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP) - the National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany. And among the first members of such a political organization would be the one who would prove to be the personification of the will and the impetus of the German people - Adolf Hitler. His political co-religionists soon realized his prominence of leadership, and in 1921, Hitler would become the leader of the NSDAP. The trajectory would not be easy. The Party would still have to overcome serious obstacles. One of them was the attempt to rise to power on November 9, 1923. Again the traitors of the German people showed themselves and restrained the mobilization, which they called a "coup." The Bavarian police had detained Hitler and important members of the party. However, the interference of the so constituted authorities could not stop the movement!
During his trial, Hitler defended himself brilliantly, being cheered by the crowd accompanying him. Despite this, he was sentenced and sent to prison. During the time he was in prison, he would write the foundational work of the NSDAP, Mein Kampf - "My Fight." This writing will take root national fame about the history of the Leader and his conceptions.

After six months in prison, Hitler had re-founded and reinvigorated the Party. Thus began the trajectory of ascension of his person to power.
By the year 1929, the NSDAP had achieved little voice within Parliament. But in that same year the decadent way of life of the once-victorious powers of the Great War brought for themselves, and unfortunately for Germany, economic ruin. The crisis of 1929 had brought even greater misery to the German people. Unemployment rates have risen exponentially just as inflation rates have risen. Debts became too heavy and the country was on the verge of total collapse.
The hope lay only in the voice of those who long preached the nationalist reassertion of the German people as well as their capacity to reborn as a world power - the voice of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.

In the 1930 elections, the NSDAP won a significant vote, making it the second-largest party within Parliament. The enthusiastic and ultranationalist appeal gained new adepts every day. Increasingly, everyone was convinced that it would be through that party that the future German would be written triumphantly. Hitler would run for the presidential elections in 1932, but would lose to Paul von Hindenburg, an important German marshal during the Great War and the then president of the Republic. Hindenburg had won the election of 32, but was persuaded by Franz von Papen, German Chancellor of that year, to call Hitler to the Chancellery.
On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler took over as the Reichskanzler, the Chancellor of the Republic.

From this year 1933 onwards, the History of Greater Germany will be written with greater splendor and glory than any nation has ever attained since time immemorial, where the German people will erect a Reich that will last for thousands of years, being the banner of supremacy over the peoples of the world!


Es lebe Deutschland! - Long live for Germany!
