Post-Eruption
Following the Eruption, The Provisional Government of the Third Reich was established after the death of Adolf Hitler. The Provisional Government was eventually forced out of the north of the country by mostly left-wing revolutionaries. They fled to the south to establish South Germany. In the months after their flee, government was virtually non-existant. Many communities were left to fend for themselves, and food shortages were often. Among these was the town of Potsdam, home of German Crown Prince Wilhelm. Upon hearing of the death of his father, former Kaiser Wilhelm II, in the famines that ravaged the Netherlands and the same situation in Germany, he decided to take action.

Wilhelm asked for the town to hold a meeting. At this meeting, he told his neighbors that he believed that he should do something to bring order to the land: reestablish the Kaiserreich. The peoples reaction was more welcoming than he anticipated, and he was only emboldened when an anominous man yelled "Long live the Kaiser!", which turned into a chant every soul repeated. Potsdam, and neighboring towns, formed a militia of the men. Wilhelm, remembering his training of troops during the Great War, turned them into disciplined soldiers. The small army moved through the countryside, meeting greatly more supporters than opposition.

On October 5, 1941, Wilhelm and his troops marched into the city of Berlin, a mere shadow of its pre-revolution state. They made their way to the damaged Reichstag building. As Wilhelm looked at the structure holding a memento of the Kaisers former rule: the last Imperial German flag to fly on this building. He saw it only fit that it should do so again. He personally raised it to the cheers of hundreds. He quickly adopted the title of Kaiser Wilhelm III, and set about to kickstarting the New German Empire.
