Hello mates,
I'm working on a personal project envisaging a German victory in WWII where the postwar succession struggle after Hitler's death leads to the SS gaining power in Germany.
How would an SS leadership of Germany affect German domestic and foreign policy?
So far I've got a few ideas off the top of my head...
- The Allies would view this change nervously as the SS turns out more radical than any other Nazi wing. This is in the context of a Reich-American Cold War.
- The Waffen-SS would begin gradually replacing traditional Heer units, though not entirely.
- Non-German Waffen-SS units (like Hunyadi, Nordland, Wiking, etc.) would be transferred from German Army control to the pan-European Axis task force.
- Foreign policy would determine the SS to place loyal Fascist parties in the allied Axis states. The Iron Guard would be put back in power in Romania, the Arrow Cross Party in Hungary, the Falange in Spain, etc.
Let me know what you guys think.
Cheers!
