History
Germany became at war with the Allied powers when Britain and France invaded the German colony of Togoland in West Africa, highlighting the start of the Great War. By October 1918 Germany requested a ceasefire, allowing the end of the Great War. The country becomes 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 becomes a member of the said organization; Germany continues to support the Weimar Republic which triumphs over the Nationalist Socialist Party in September, 1930. Overtime 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. Boosting its restored glory was the hosting of the 1936 Olympics which by record for having every countries (except for Russia) participating the Olympic Games.
After 12 French spies were executed without trial in Russia, the German Federal Intelligence service were the next group of people 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, which Germany's geography became the focal point of refuge. Before the Chimera invaded Germany, due to the country's humanitarian burden, the German government was on the brink of collapse. Realizing the nation's futility in confronting the inevitable invasion, the German government ordered an entire mass evacuation of its country. As refugee camps are built along the Rhine River, the German and Luxembourg military had given the orders of a scorch earth policy, destroying anything that is taken advantage by the enemy, which stretched from Bonn to Luxembourg. However, their efforts had been in vain as they had no complete knowledge of the Chimera at that time, as the Chimera have no need of using human resources (except apart from the humans themselves) as they already have the needed resources and technologies in their invasion.
The Chimera eventually overrun Germany, as the remains of the German military and government urgently contacted their UED allies, but only to fallen on deaf ears.
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 (See Intel Document: Iron Horses), as in World War II they named their tanks after other animals like the Panther Tank and the Tiger Tank.
