Kameraden, citizens of the Third Reich! Take heed, your country calls for your service! It is 1945 the dawn of a grand war to remind Europe, nein, the whole world that Germany will not bear the shame of the Great War! Crippled from the Treaty of Versailles, we still clawed our way from the depths of economic hell and persevered against the whole world. Under the leadership of our great Fuhrer, we have rebuilt our nation, our confidence and our pride! We were promised glory and power to last a thousand years, and even with the death of our grand leader at the hands of Allied assassins, we will carry on his legacy!
To war! Along with our Russian allies, we will tear Poland apart and reclaim our rightful territory of Danzig and her surrounding regions! With a swift victory, we then turn to the Franzosen, men who would rather stuff their face with cheese and wine than face the people of Deutscheland. Men and women who have starved through winter, watched helplessly as jobs become scarce and weep for our children.

So what is this? This, mein kameraden, is an Alternate Universe Role Play of World War 2. You, and many others are part of the Wehrmacht, the pride of the Fatherland, and you have a lot to live up to. In this universe Hitler rose to power by rallying the people of Germany against the French, who had crippled them with the Treaty of Versailles. The concept of using the Jews as scapegoats for their economic downfall came much later and as a secondary measure to cement support for his political party. As the years pass, Germany grew and regain its lost power and prestige: the Wehrmacht had been successfully converted into a fully mechanized army (with Panzer IIIs and Panzer IVs a common staple in german panzer divisions.), the first of its kind in the whole world. No more are horses used as the primary means of transportation, now the rumble of armoured vehicles fill the streets as they roll to a great future. Its economy revitalized with effective policies, crime rate fell to an all time low and overall satisfaction had increased dramatically.
However as the years pass, Hitler's policies slowly started to target the Jewish population as he succumbed to his personal beliefs. This did not go unnoticed by many of the German high officers who understood that if things got out of hand, it would ruin Germany's reputation diplomatically. And so on the dawn of 1945, the 1st of January, Operation Valkryie was carried out. High above in his secluded residence, a bomb ticked to its last seconds, and the Fuhrer of Germany went up in flames. His death was announced and Germany fell under military control, lead by Field Marshall Erwin von Witzleben, who abolished many of the antisemitic policies. Operation Valkryie was not simply a plan to take out the Fuhrer however, and shortly after Hitler was buried Erwin declared that his death had been the result of the French government, fearing Germany's rise to power under a powerful, charismatic leader.
Just like that, Hitler became a martyr to his people, and feelings of resentment against the French only rose to greater levels. The Waffen SS returned back to its roots as personal bodyguards of government and military personnel, with no more power over the Wehrmacht officers than Hitler had any life in him. With the Molotov-Ribbentrop Act signed on the 23rd August 1945, the Germans now have signed a non-aggression pact with the Soviets. Along with a promise to not attack each other in these coming years, Germany has declared war on Poland on the 16th September 1945, soon to be followed by their Soviet friends. The target? The capital city of Danzig, where Germany will claim its neighboring regions for its peoples.
The French were not oblivious to the feelings of resentment towards them, but foolishly placed its faith in the Maginot Line, claiming it to be impenetrable by the Wehrmacht. Though numerically superior and with a large complement of tanks on their own and allied to Britain (and her colonies), this did not deter the Wehrmacht, who instead saw it as a challenge. Even the threat of the Royal Navy is no longer enough to dissuade the Germans: time has not been kind to the British fleet as Germany now possess two aircraft carriers, the Bismark and Graf Zeppelin making the Royal Navy nearly obsolete with her main component of destroyers and frigates. Combined with the Luftwaffe and the persistent raids of the Kriegsmarine's feared U-boats, the battle for the control of the seas seem to shift in Germany's favour. America has yet to join the war, looking threateningly at the Imperial influence in the Pacific.
And you, of all the grand things that have occurred in the recent decades, where do you fit into this?
You, my friend are a soldier of the Wehrmacht, drafted and trained in the arts of war from the best of the best. All of you come from different backgrounds, different places with different motivations. Yet what connects all of you, is the bond of camaraderie and the desire to live through it all. This roleplay will focus around a single infantry platoon of the 7th Panzer Division lead by General Erwin Rommel, spearheading the German invasion.
The purpose of this RP is to emulate the feeling of the HBO's award winning series 'Band of Brothers'. Therefore anyone that joins will almost always start as mere privates (Grenadier rank) and overtime will earn promotions as NCOs (Primarilly NPCs) are killed off. This is to give a sense of accomplishment to your characters, watching them grow from a mere fresh faced grenadier to a respected Obergefreiter or maybe even a Unteroffizier! Who knows, one of you may be promoted to Platoon Leader! Together as we work together, we will craft a story to rival HBO: So who's with me?[/fancybox2]

But now, now we will show them that Germany does not forget. Or forgive.
