German Civil War (1936-1945) and Alternate Cold War (1945-2002)

August 12th, 1936. A new political party gains new momentum within the Reichstag. The name of this party is called. "Volkspartei der Republik", or the "People's Party of the Republic".

Many National Socialists were concerned about the rise of the party and how much support and momentum it was gaining. They brought this up with Hitler, who shook it off saying "It is a healthy way for the Fatherland's citizens to debate on relevant topics. Leave them be."

By September, 1936, Republik officials have gained seats in Hitler's cabinet. One of these officials was Arvid Deutschen Freundmann. Arvid, being a former veteran of the First World War, became the head of the fledgling German army, the Wehrmacht.

By then, Hitler soon became weary of the "Republikaners". On October 27th, 1936, he ordered the assassination of Heer General Freundmann. To Hitler's surprise, Arvid survived. News of the attempt on the general's life spread through Germany like wildfire. Outraged pro-Republikaner supporters flocked to the Reichstag.

On November 12th, 1936, the Republik party declared a "Seperation of the German States". This divided Germany into two halves. The western half became the United Republic States of Germany, and the eastern half became the Federal Socialist (Nazi) States of Germany.

The West wasted no time in developing their new country. A new capital was decided, which was a small village along the Rhine called Rhinesburg. The government was set up as a Republic. The new German Constitution was drafted, based on the United State's own Constitution. This caught the attention of the U.S, which wasted no time in developing relations with the German Republic.

A new president was elected, and that man was Arvid Deutschen Freundmann. Immediately the German Republik set out to revoke the Treaty of Versailles' rules for the Republik. With support from the U.S., the Republic gained new land, military supplies, and funding, which stabilized the Republik's economy.

By 1937, Republik businesses were common and gained plenty of income, which allowed the government to increase spending on the Wehrmacht, which was brought into the Republik when it seceded from Socialist Germany. This started an arms race with East Germany, which started to build up the Waffen SS as their primary military force.

In 1938, the East German government declared war on the Republik on May 26th.

The first few days of the war consisted of minor skirmishes along the Middle Front, which was the border of the Republik and the East.

On June 5th, 1938, the East launched a massive invasion, pushing Republik soldiers westwards, and expanded Eastern territory. The East was able to push the West back easily, since they had a larger and more well trained military force. The East supplied their soldiers with MP38 sub machine guns, MG38 machine guns, and Karabiner 98k rifles. The West, while having a particularly large army, lacked weaponry, and so troops were supplied with old MP18 SMGs, foreign Lee-Enfield rifles, and rackety old Lewis guns.

The United States, fearing for the loss of its new ally, supplied the West with superior American weaponry and vehicles. This act of trade between the West and the U.S. finally broke the U.S. out of the Great Depression, since the Republik purchased millions of dollars in weaponry and supplies.

By late summer of 1938, the Republik was soon able to defend against Nazi assaults. Western soldiers were armed with M1 Garand rifles, M1928/M1 Thompsons, Mauser C96 pistols, and Browning and Winchester shotguns.

Despite the upgrades to the Western armories, the West was still loosing ground. The West needed new rifles that packed a similar punch as the Garand, but with a larger capacity and a different loading system. Many companies such as Walther and Mauser West, and the newly created Schmeisser Armories began working on new weapon designs.

On August 29th, 1938, Walther presented the Republik military with two new pistols, which were designed before the Republik military's decree of the need for a new rifle. These pistols were the Walther P38 9mm, and Walther's own take on the C96, the W37.

Both the P38 and W37 revolutionized modern pistols. The W37 especially. The W37 took the designs of the P38 and the C96 and blended them together, effectively fixing the flaws of the C96 while improving on its other features.

The Wehrmacht immediately accepted the pistols into service, mostly due to the fact both pistols were cheap to produce and used common ammunition.

On September 15th, 1938, the Republic launched a massive counteroffensive to reclaim the Trüsselöph Train Yards, a large train yard with plenty of railroads and trains for the transport of supplies and troops.

After a week's worth of fighting, the Republik pushed the East out of Trüsselöph, marking the first battle in which the Republik won, and pushed the East out of Republik lands.

On September 21st, 1938, Volkswagen West presented the Wehrmacht with a new tank design, which was stemmed off of the Eastern Tiger I, and U.S. M3 Sherman. This design was coined the Wolfsjunge, or "Wolf's Cub", The tank was as sturdy and reliable as the Tiger, yet easily manufactured like the Sherman.

This new tank became the first tank to be used by the Republik. The Wolfsjunge I turned the tides of many battled in favor for the Republik, and by summer 1939, the Republik gained back almost 86% of the land lost to the East.

On September 3rd, 1939, World War Two had begun when the East invaded Belgium through controlled lands in the North-West. The East moved in this way in order to execute the Schleiffen Plan, but not only to defeat France, but also to defeat the West.
