Major Reimer was the Battalion Commander of the Motorized Rifle Battalion of the 9th Panzer Division of the Wehrmacht. At the time of the French campaign, his initial rank was only company commander, and when he broke through the Maas River, he led an infantry company that was so outstanding that after the war he was awarded the Knight of the Iron Cross by the Führer himself, and in March of this year he was promoted to battalion commander.

Until March, the garrison of Berlin was carried out by the SS, Hitler's "own son" unit. However, with the "founding" of the Second People's Democratic Republic of France, the German troops in France withdrew one after another, and the garrisons in Germany began to change their guards frequently.

In April, the SS Guard Flag Division, which had been tasked with guarding Berlin, was transferred to East Prussia to prepare for a "possible" Soviet invasion.

The task of security and defense of Berlin was entrusted to the Fifth Infantry Division under the command of the First Army.

After the end of the war in 1940, Hannah's mother and daughter began to undergo "major surgery" in the German Army under the pretext of "post-war disarmament". A large number of army divisions that had been added as a result of the war were classified as second-line reserve units or simply abolished, but their "own son" units, the SS and the "bastard" marines, were deliberately strengthening their strength instead of reducing their troops.

And the 5th Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht stationed in Berlin, although it was an elite unit, the division was "newly formed". The reason why it is said to be "newly established" is because the regimental and battalion combat units that make up the division are all temporarily transferred from other units. Each unit was an elite unit with outstanding achievements, but everyone basically "didn't know each other" until April.

According to Hannah, the "elite motley division" was gathered in Berlin in preparation for a "big military parade" to be held in Berlin next month to celebrate the first anniversary of the victory over France. The official secret version is that the Führer deliberately transferred the SS to elite Wehrmacht units in order to ease the standoff between the Führer and the Wehrmacht because of the "disarmament tendencies".

The immediate superior of the 5th Infantry Division. It was none other than Admiral Beck and Weizley, who had just been promoted to field marshal this year. For these conspirators against Hitler, the Führer's assignment of the garrison of Berlin to them was nothing short of a gift from himself.

After the explosion on 17 May, Admiral Baker, after confirming that the "assassination was successful," immediately ordered the commander of the 5th Division, Paul Brown. Feng. Hesse mobilized the 5th Division stationed in Berlin and ordered him to send his men to control all the key departments in Berlin. One of the directives was to arrest Goebbels, the head of the German propaganda department, who was in Berlin, and Himmler and Heinrich, the Gestapo chiefs they were jealous of.

The person who was specifically tasked with arresting Goebbels was Major Reimer.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of the 17th, the 3rd Division of the Wehrmacht took control of the Berlin-based German national radio station, and soon the rebels were eager to announce the assassination of Hitler to the whole country. Major Reimer, who was on the task of arresting Goebbels, was instructed that there was an insurrection in Berlin, that Goebbels had participated in the assassination of the Führer, and that he must be arrested as soon as possible.

The Wehrmacht had a good way of fighting, but they rebelled and rebelled. But he is very layman, and the reasons and excuses he finds are extremely clumsy. The reason why they are said to be laymen is because these conspirators, before acting, did not know the political attitude of Major Reimer, who carried out this important task, to investigate in advance.

Although Major Reimer came from the Wehrmacht, his political attitude was a supporter of Nazi ideology. I am even more "loyal" to the Führer. In the process of leading his troops to Goebbels' residence, he did not encounter half of the "insurrectionary enemy" at all. At that time, Major Reimer thought very strangely in his heart, he did not believe Goebbels, the "most trusted" person of the Führer

Will be treasonous.

And before leaving, he asked his superiors: "Is the Führer really dead?" What really happened in Germany? Where did the riots take place? ”

His division commander, Heissel's stupid tongue, also did not know anything, except for silence or silence, and only stiffly asked Major Reimer to carry out the mission.

Received instructions. On the way to execution, Reimer thought along the way, and he felt that it was not "a riot", but because the Führer died, and everyone became headless flies. Political struggles and power struggles are ongoing.

"Germany had missed once in 1918, and we can't afford to be wrong again!"

On the way, Major Reimer said this to his colleagues. It was secretly determined that the mistakes of 1918 would not be repeated in Germany.

Upon his return to the unit, Major Reimer immediately summoned a meeting of his officers, and he first presented the information he had, although it was not much, and then Reimer told everyone that it was a very high time, and demanded that the officers swear to obey him, trust him, and obey only his orders.

At this time, Major Reimer's officers stood up one after another to express their opinions, and they all expressed their puzzlement at the suggestion of their superiors that "Goebbels was an accomplice to the murderer who participated in the assassination of the Führer", believing that the assassination had only happened for more than three hours, and that it was simply the most absurd joke to "identify the murderer" so quickly.

The more these people discussed, the more they felt that there was a shady scene behind this series of events.

While the discussion was underway, Reimer received another urging call from his superiors, ordering them to arrest Goebbels. So Reimer was forced to take his troops, full of doubts, to the Propaganda Department where Goebbels was located.

At the entrance of the Propaganda Department, his troops were blocked by the guards, who were tasked with defending the Waffen-SS, which on that day was guarded by a Garenne SS. And Goebbels' adjutant walked out of the door of the Propaganda Department and whispered to Sù Reimer: "This is a long-planned mutiny within the Wehrmacht!" Dr. Goebbels wants to meet you alone. ”

Major Remer, who was already full of doubts, thought about it and agreed to the request. He commanded his men:

"If I don't come out after 15 minutes, you rush in and get me out."

Reimer pulled out his pistol and opened the safety and walked into the Propaganda Building.

In the building of the Propaganda Department, he managed to get to Goebbels, and after a few words, Goebbels picked up the phone and called a long call, and soon the voice of the "Führer" came from the microphone.

Major Reimer was personally worn by the Führer when he received the knighthood, and he had a conversation with him at that time. "Hitler" recounted this incident on the phone, and after confirming that the Führer was alive and sound, Major Reimer immediately "took sides" and then swore an oath of "allegiance to the Führer" in front of Goebbels.

This is where the "rebels" and "laymen" led by Field Marshal Weizley and Admiral Beck are located, who know how to control the national radio station, but forget to cut off Berlin's telephone contact with the outside world. And the various mistakes made that day are countless.

Before the assassination, they did not formulate a series of corresponding action steps to control and take over important German departments after the "success", and the process of Berlin's seizure of power was also full of all kinds of chaos.

Except for the news of the death of the Führer to the whole country after the Berlin radio hastily announced the news of the "death of the Führer", the gang did almost not do a single right thing that afternoon, and they were all caught up in the "overwhelm of the success that came too quickly" and did not have a recollection at all.

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, when the naval fleet in Iceland received the secret order to fire out of the port, hundreds of No. 3 tanks rumbled outside Berlin. The 2nd SS Panzer Division, stationed near Berlin, was entering Berlin to begin a "counterinsurgency operation". Then the radio in Berlin began to hear the "Führer's voice".

In the process, Major Remer, who had defected to Gorre, persuaded his superiors and pulled his own regiment over as well. The Fifth Infantry Division, which participated in the rebellion, actually had three regiments among the several regiments to which it belonged, which were "undercover agents" inserted by the Führer in advance.

In fact, the two most important assassins involved in the assassination mission, the Stoneblaster expert and the military doctor who "confirmed" the Führer's death, were themselves Gestapo undercover agents who had broken into the anti-Hitler group many years ago. And the assassination plan of the assassination operation was "formulated" by the Gestapo people for the opponent.

The person who entered the beer hall on May 17 and was bombed was not Lin Han's cheap daughter, but a stand-in. As for the bombing bill buried under the podium, it had already been reduced in advance, although the sound was huge, the power was not great, and the stand-in was only slightly injured.

The assassination on 17 May and the ensuing rebellion were nothing more than "fishing operations" prepared by the Limhan family to purge the Wehrmacht. The whole process of "rebellion" and "counterinsurgency" is simply a farce.

While the SS 2nd Panzer Division was still entering the city, the rebels who jumped out to put on a show were arrested by the middle and lower-ranking officers of the 5th Division, who suddenly rebelled. Only a few brief exchanges of fire took place in Berlin that day, and only five people were killed and several injured in the chaos. Of the five people who died, three committed suicide in despair after confirming the failure of the rebellion.

At nine o'clock that night, when the US stock market on the other side of the ocean was still soaring wildly over the events in Germany, the national radio station in Berlin, Germany, was sending the Führer's "live speech" to the whole of Germany, declaring that the Führer had been shamelessly assassinated, but that he was safe and sound.

The Wehrmacht's "rebellion" was just beginning and was quickly extinguished.

In the days that followed, officers of all ranks of the Wehrmacht, who had jumped out of the Führer's assassination, began to be arrested by the gendarmes. Field Marshal Weizley and General Beck were arrested by the Gestapo on the same day, and in the process, the Gestapo men took out the list that had been prepared long ago and began to search for and purge anti-Hitler forces throughout the country.

For a time, the whole of Germany was in turmoil, but the storm was quickly calmed down under the iron fist of "Hitler", a "political strongman".

The farce is over, and the purge has just begun. (To be continued......) R1292
