Germany's Flag
Germany is a country in Central Europe. It is bordered to the north by the North Sea, Denmark, and the Baltic Sea; to the east by Poland and Czechoslovakia; to the south by Austria and Switzerland; and to the west by France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Holland. The territory of Germany covers 357,021 square kilometers.
History
Germany entered into war against the Allied powers when Britain and France invaded the German colony of Togoland in West Africa. By October 1918, Germany requested a ceasefire, allowing the end of the Great War. In order to meet peace talk conditions, the country became a parliamentary democratic state under the Weimar Republic.
Following the Great War, Germany was able to recover from its war torn experience thanks to the strong support of the European Trade Organization (ETO), and became a member of the said organization; Germany continued to support the Weimar Republic which triumphed over the Nationalist Socialist Party in September, 1930. Over time the combination between a prosperous Germany and the ETO brought forth major technological advancements throughout Europe, such as the creation of the Tricon Rail Line, a network of high-speed train lines that opened all corners of Europe to fast, cheap, and easy travel.[1] Boosting its restored glory were the 1936 Olympics, hosted in Berlin, which held the record for most competing countries (Russia was noticeably absent) in the Olympic Games.
After 12 French spies were executed without trial in Russia, the German Federal Intelligence service were the next group of agents who dared to enter Russia. In 1938 the agents broke through the Belarus/Russian border and to their amazement they discovered ghost towns and abandoned villages near the border.
Following the outbreak of the Chimeran invasion in December 1949, millions of refugees from Eastern Europe fled to the west for safety, and Germany's geography became the focal point of refuge. Even before the Chimera invaded Germany, the German government was on the brink of collapse due to the country's sudden massive humanitarian burden.[2] Realizing the futility of confronting the inevitable invasion, the German government ordered a mass evacuation of the country. As refugee camps were built along the Rhine River, the German and Luxembourgian military were ordered to follow a scorched earth policy. From Bonn to Luxembourg, they destroyed anything that the Chimera could use to their advantage.[2] However, their efforts had been in vain as they had no complete knowledge of the Chimera at that time, and the Chimera had no need to use human resources apart from humans themselves.[2]
The Chimera eventually took Germany, as the remains of the German military and government urgently contacted their UED allies, only to fall on deaf ears.[3]
Locales
Areas in Chimera-occupied Germany includes the establishment of the Bonn Conversion Center in Bonn, Germany, which the Center surprisingly drained the entire nearby Rhine River into a dried-up riverbed in order for the Center to function; and the extensive layout of a Chimeran shipyard in Gerolstein, known by the Maquis as the "Chimeran Construction Zone" which constructs a portion of the Chimeran fleet in the inevitable invasion of America.
Trivia
- The German Project: Scorched Earth is in both the Resistance series and World War II for the same reasons but different enemies. In the Resistance series, Germany knew they were fighting a losing battle against the Chimera and ordered that everything that can help these 'beasts' in the East should be destroyed so that the Chimera would starve and die out. Obviously it didn't go as plan. In World War II, Germany was trying to defend all its sides from the USA, Russia, France and Britain, and they knew they were losing so Adolf Hitler ordered that everything that could help the Allies should be destroyed in a hope to weaken the enemies so they would get crushed by the last of the German army; but, this failed and Germany eventually lost the war.
- In Resistance: Retribution the Germans used tanks called Iron Horses, as in World War II they named their tanks after other animals like the Panther Tank and the Tiger Tank.[4]
