With the fall of Bremen, the GDR had lost half of its eastern and northern borders, leaving only a few precarious ports such as Norden and Emden at the mouth of the sea, while the Ruhr area, the country's industrial center, had not changed hands, but had been ravaged by the Soviet Air Force, and military production had to be dispersed into the countryside. Fortunately, under the command of the Joint Staff, all units were able to retreat calmly and orderly, regardless of the size of the casualties and losses, thus preserving the spark of hope for this war with a huge disparity in strength.

Hanover, the military center that had been far from the front line, was now being shelled by the Soviets day and night, and even if the Führer had 11,000 reluctances, he could only follow the base camp and the Joint Staff at this time. The journey to Aachen, a border city in western Germany, was not far, and Lynn, returning from an inspection of the northern front, spent several hours in the same car as the Führer. Different identities have different positions, and different positions correspond to different interests, and the differences in interests between the two leaders are completely hidden because of the current predicament of the great enemy. Most of the time, they are thinking about common problems; For most issues, they can reach a common understanding. During the chat, they even talked about the bleak time of five years ago, reminiscing about their respective situations and thoughts, and suddenly felt that life was endless.

The changing situation of the war prepared the more pragmatic Imperial decision-makers to evacuate Hanover early, but it was only in recent days that Aachen was finally chosen as the next foothold. In order to avoid the Soviet air raids, the base camp convoy set off at night and arrived at the destination at dawn. A quaint resort housed in the southern suburbs of Aachen was a quaint resort house nestled in the woods on the southern outskirts of Aachen, with its tall trunk and massive canopy of maple trees adding to the mystical atmosphere of the estate. In Lynn's opinion, the surrounding area was so tight that the surrounding woodland became a hidden assembly point for the army, and it was not an exaggeration to make such a move. In the past, the Soviet army withdrew from Germany, and there were many hidden spies and ears and eyes, and the war ended here. The destruction of the core of the German armed forces was of great importance to the Soviets, and once they learned of the whereabouts of the German high command, they would attack at all costs. Bombing, paratroopers, commando infiltration - all means must be used.

The old and frail Führer was exhausted by the night's drive, but after a brief shower, he returned to the generals and listened to the latest report from the Joint Staff on the war. In northern Germany, the Soviet army, which had paid a heavy price for winning the Hamburg-Bremen battle, had no new offensive moves for the time being. The German navy, which had withdrawn from the Baltic Sea region, continued to blockade the Skagerrak Strait in northern Jutland and the Helgoland Bay, where ships must pass through Bremen and Hamburg, and the Reich submarine group had not found anything in the Skagerrak Strait this past night, while the torpedo boats operating in the Helgoland Bay had spotted destroyer-class Soviet ships, which meant that the Soviets had probably dredged the Kiel Canal, which had been blasted and blocked by the Germans before retreating. It provided a convenient and safe passage for Soviet ships to enter the North Sea from the Baltic Sea; In central Germany, the Hanover-Göttingen line of the Soviet-German confrontation spent a relatively calm night, but the Soviet troops that continued to increase their forces were likely to launch a thunderous blow today, and the plan of the Joint Staff was still to use the defensive forces to block and consume the Soviet troops step by step, and then organize a new defensive line in the North Rhine-Westphalia area; In southern Germany, Soviet troops entering Germany from Austria had launched the Battle of Munich two days earlier, and more than 300,000 Germans had relied on fortifications to desperately hold back the enemy, although the Soviet army had once approached the center of Munich. But their offensive follow-up was lackluster. The two Soviet armies that moved south from eastern Germany and entered Germany from the Czech Republic were successfully blocked by the German army in northern Bavaria, and the Battle of Munich was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to the Soviet army. …,

Hearing this, which was generally not too bad, the Führer reacted calmly and no longer dictated the command of the front as he did during the Second World War, which is probably a key factor in the fact that the German armed forces have been able to persist in mobile guerrilla warfare to this day. The informal ad hoc meeting was supposed to end there, and the Führer slept in his bedroom for four or five hours. Eating, walking, working, and so on until the end of the day. The arrival of Kleist and Dietrich postponed the meeting. As Minister of Defense of the Free Empire of Northern Scandinavia, Kleist is currently responsible for military coordination and troop movements between the mainland and Northern Europe. And the former SS general Dietrich was not only a loyal follower of the Führer, but also Adolf. One of Hitler's most trusted right-hand men, although he did not leave prison until the GDR was founded and regained his freedom, Dietrich was entrusted with the important task of commanding the 5th Corps of the Reich Guard before returning to the Führer's account. It is worth mentioning that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Corps are the absolute main force of the Imperial Army, and since 1949, they have participated in military operations in Europe and Denmark, and have made great contributions to the German mainland to get rid of the Soviet occupation. During the Third Reich, although the original intention of the Waffen-SS was to create a "purely Aryan armed force loyal to the Führer", as the war deepened, the massive consumption of soldiers and the Wehrmacht's many restrictions on SS recruitment made it more and more difficult for the Waffen-SS to recruit a sufficient number of Germans of pure blood. This led to an influx of right-wingers, elements, elements, dissidents, and admirers of the Nazi regime from European countries into Germany to defect to the SS, and the Waffen-SS began to relax the requirements for recruiting and actively recruit European volunteers from abroad. In the middle and late stages of the war, hundreds of thousands of foreign volunteers had become an important force of the SS and showed amazing combat effectiveness and endurance in a series of arduous combat operations, and in the Battle of Berlin, the troops under the command of the "Charlemagne" Volunteer Division, the "Nordic" Division, the "Viking" Division and even a "Free India" Division participated in this final bloody battle with almost mortal determination, and the fanatical spirit also made it the most powerful fighting force on the battlefield of World War II!

As far as Lynn knows, in the first three years of the defeat of the Reich in Northern Europe, there were only a few hundred non-German personnel in the "Refuge" base, until the development of the East and the West and the turning point of the world situation, the Reich began to expand the size of the army, and some of the personnel secretly recruited from Spain, Switzerland, Argentina and other countries were foreign volunteers of the former SS, and the number of non-German personnel in the Imperial Army increased, but until 1949, when the Soviet troops withdrew from the German mainland, the total number of these "foreign aid" was only more than 2,000. It is clear that as the most influential Waffen-SS general of the Third Reich, one of Dietrich's important missions was to gather the old army and expand the corps. After Kleist reported on the latest additions to the Imperial Corps, the 58-year-old former SS general reported that more than 7,000 foreign volunteers had recently been approved to join his corps. Unlike previous groups of volunteers, most of whom were inexperienced and required at least a month of training to become soldiers with the most basic combat qualities, in the next few days a number of fully trained foreign units would arrive on the mainland, including a Spanish anti-tank infantry battalion, a Finnish mountain company, a Swedish anti-tank infantry company, a Dutch infantry company, an Italian infantry company, and a French-speaking anti-tank infantry company. In addition, the first Hungarian volunteers who arrived in Northern Europe had been assembled, and although they were not large enough to form a combat company, more than 90 percent of them were qualified soldiers, and with the connivance of the Hungarian government, more Hungarian volunteers were trying to travel through Soviet-controlled Croatia to Bulgaria and then by sea to the areas controlled by the Western Allies, which was a rather difficult and long road. …,

A company or a battalion of troops was inconspicuous in the war against a million Soviet troops, but when Dietrich sonorously and forcefully stated which country or nation they consisted of volunteers, those present could still feel spiritual encouragement -- what a venerable courage and courage it took to bring together a large number of young people from different countries and nationalities under the inspiration of faith and mission. The experience of the Second World War made the Germans realize that foreign volunteers are not only excellent soldiers, but also the best of them can also become excellent battlefield commanders, and in the battles on both the Eastern and Western Fronts, there are more or less examples of foreign volunteer officers directly commanding foreign troops and even German troops, which can also fully show that in the German army, which is dominated by opposition to Bolsheviks and pan-European ideas, the distinction between nationality and nationality is not strong, and foreign volunteers have no basic respect and trust. It has also gained more and more trust.

After listening to the reports of Kleist and Dietrich, the Führer murmured: "Hold on, hold on!" The enemy is weakening day by day, and we are getting stronger, time is in our favor, and we must persevere! ”

Standing next to the Führer, Lynn could hear what he was saying, but the farther generals couldn't break through the constraints of human hearing. On such an occasion, Lynn lost no time in echoing: "In this war of attrition that is different from the past, freedom fighters from all over the world are constantly gathering under our banner, and the weapons and equipment provided by Western countries free of charge also make us full of stamina, and every day we hold out, we are one step closer to victory, and this concept should run through the minds of each of us, and strengthen the confidence and conviction of every officer and every soldier to fight...... Germany will win! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
