The Iron Eagle III - Fallen Eagle

[BurkeanLibCon]

I have added some couple thousand more words, most of it is a story about one family from the introduction of the last volume and the start of Remer's "Discipline" process.

I am trying to find more time to write but college is being a headache this week, whenever I find time I will edit and add to the chapter.

I know how it feels, university is grinding down what's left of me. At least the exam season's nearly over.

Sounds like the pervitin is starting to cause some real problems. Interesting to see Remer turn Germany into a stratocracy.

I'm looking forward to the Persian Gulf war coming soon, if only out of morbid curiosity. This damned world doesn't get a break.

It's kinda amazing that each führer basically reworks the entire German apparatus of state. If maybe only one thing, Klara might be able to set up a dynastic succession which will keep things somewhat more stable

Seems to be the best thing for the Reich at this point. Also I doubt Klara will be as adventures as her fore bearers or will even have to be, considering how more of the Reich's attention will be on rebuilding and keeping their empire intact.

I like that you decided to bring the Bockslaffs back in this story, even if only for this one chapter.

So Remer seems to be increasing the Wehrmacht’s control on German politics? I imagine most of that is gonna get wiped away when Klara comes in but it is interesting.

I mean, it does fit with the Nazi Cultural Revolution schtick Goebbels did with how the OTL Cultural Revolution was so bad, the PLA was basically the last institution left functional by the end of it.

I don't understand why so many think that Klara will overthrow all the Nazi oligarchs and rise to power... the only thing she has is her last name.
😑😑😑😑

The question is who are even the Oligarchs left, Goebbels already destroyed them, most of them were killed in the Angriff and assets seized. Then he just declared that any debt the Government had with their companies was null.

Of course, with a change in power through Remer there is a new guard moving in which I plan to expand on further in this chapter.

I half-expect Mao to do something reckless due to his overconfidence and the "Chinese Angriff" fills me with trepidation.

I'm looking to Britain's dominions and wonder what will happen. Canada is probably sweating bullets looking at their southern neighbor and Quebec potentially taking on Integralism under Duplessis and his successors could make the Quiet Revolution incredibly loud. By that I mean the OTL October Crisis on steroids.

I think the British will try to support local elites with some democratic 'reforms' like voting eligibility based on literacy, wealth or other factors. They may be even will to use infrastructure or economic investments to pacify local groups. However, they will also use all kinds of counter insurgency tactics like secret police, population clearances and secure hamlets, along with creating dissent based on ethnic or religious lines. As for Quebec, Canada may use the similar carrot and stick approach but they also could point to the US and say 'you know what happens to Catholics there right?"

With the economic dislocation caused by the Eastern War, Germany may have to do a form of economic shock therapy, possibly privatizing state assets (only good Germans can bid) and cutting some subsidies to the Cartels. They may also have to treat other members of the Pact better since they need the trade and markets for resources and German goods.

Eastern Europe sounds like a mix of fallout and mad max hellacape except for the Germans still trying to maintain some semblance of order. The reports of what's left of the natives is just depressing and Moscow now a lake.... I guess no wants it now.

While it's nice that the Tsar's army reclaimed I do wonder if the cost was worth it in the long run.

Saving 15 million people and reclaiming some important cities along the Volga while making sure the Nazis won't come back at you for at least this generation was worth it.

It's not every day that you can say a country gained 11 million people during a war.

so i'm assuming cultures like polish, lithuanian, latvian, and the like are functionally dead now, or on their last legs, but whats happened to the dutch and other non german 'germanic' peoples that are occupied by the reich?

The Angriff probably did a lot to break their distinctiveness and assimilate them into the broader Germanic community with a disproportionate amount of those who died from the Angriff being from Austria, Benelux, and Scandinavia in my headcanon.

Czechian and Polish cultures are almost certainly dead on their original territories and live only within diaspora. Probably same thing is with other ethnic groups in Eastern Europe too. Estonians might have fare betterly but even they are either mostly germanised or fled to Finland.

Scandinavia and Benelux might not have that bad situation but there is surely strong assimilation.

Though the Angriff certainly also did a number on their distinctiveness as an identity with the remnants of their intelligentsia being high up on the list of those who would be purged.

I would imagine that the culture's of the Low Countries are more similar to regional varieties of German culture at this point. Kind've like how Bavaria has a regional culture that is somewhat distinct from other parts of Germany but still apart of German culture as a whole.

This should be all for the chapter on Germany Folks! I have had the time to finally finish it by setting up the post war situation of Germany, with all the pressures in the leadership of Remer, his first steps to expand the role of the Wehrmacht in the State, the growing mobilization of German women, the economic depletion and, finally, setting the endgame of what almost 40 years of ideological indoctrination is leading to.

Just imagine, the National Socialist Reformation, but instead of this happening a rough 1500 years after the death of Christ it's 40 years after the death of Hitler
