Battle of New York (Hitler is an American---Version 1)

Many say there have been key battles in war, from Thermopylae to Salamis, from the Adrianople to Gallipoli, but if you ask an American, they will say the Battle of New york was the United State's finest hour.

Background
Operation Burgoyne was in full swing, and the American forces were being crushed. So president Hitler ordered that a last stand be made in New York City, his birthplace. He thought it fitting that this would be the place for his last stand. He also ordered that every man who can hold a gun mount a defense of the city. The American population was already supplemented by millions of Jews fleeing from Germany alongside countless Hispanics leaving an already totalitarian government in Mexico, people of Jewish and Irish descent fleeing Canada and the British Commonwealth, and because they feared the consequences of America's fall, many of these immigrants, even Women, enlisted to serve the US military. When Operation Burgoyne broke out, The Americans were ready for war.

Opening moves
President Hitler took full control, but kept constitutional liberties intact, especially the right to keep and bear arms (which is why the gun control lobby is significantly weaker than in OTL). A militia was formed from the NYC citizens.

The battle began on July 7 1939. The 5th US army tried to hold back the Axis, but were pushed back into the city itself. This battle would last for a year with many people dead.

Denouement
Lieutenant Richard Heydrich led 200 US Army Rangers to the Brooklyn Bridge (Manhattan was the main center of combat). They managed to circumvent the Axis soldiers by use of the sewer systems and capture the Bridge allowing US forces to enter the city. But Heydrich was shot in the leg by an SAS sniper (which would be nearly as fatal as Hitler's wound) as he raised the US flag over a ruined Empire State Building(fortunately he was on a winch so he would not fall, so he was moved to a hospital in Utah. But as NYC is ruined by the combat, the Axis suffered a major loss with a massive portion of their forces dead or captured, and the new US Pershing tanks and F-3 fighter Jets capable of matching the Me262s, the war was turning in the USA's way.
