Episode 240: Operation Sea Lion (4)

June 8, 1943

New Fuhrer's Residence in Berlin, Germany

"… … In the end, this is what happens."

"No shame, Mr. President."

I waved my hand at Ribbentrop, who bowed his head.

"That's it. "It's not like the Foreign Secretary persuaded Roosevelt to declare war."

Despite all its efforts, the United States eventually declared war on Germany.

Roosevelt, you german hater with no answers.

Do you have to take it all to feel relieved? huh? Do we really have to go to war? … … I would like to say that, but America's participation in the war was predictable from the time Operation Sea Lion was planned.

Britain is an ally fighting alongside the United States against Japan, an important exchange partner for the United States, and at the same time a shield protecting the United States from the European hegemony - in fact Germany.

If Britain were to be occupied, not only would the United States not be able to set foot in Europe in the future, but America's absolute superiority in the American continent could be shaken.

The enemy is Germany, which started World War I and World War II? Of course I'm going to go to war.

To be honest, if I were Roosevelt and Germany had landed in England, I would have just shut up and joined the war.

However, this is the situation of the United States to a certain extent, and from now on, Germany will have to fight with the United States as well.

The United States is more powerful and overstocked than the Soviet Union, and is at the level of using cheats on its own!

Even thinking about it makes me sigh, but let's stay calm.

The US participation in the war was expected (although I prayed that it would not become a reality), and just because the US declared war did not mean US troops would arrive in Britain right away.

To reach the UK, US troops would have to cross the Atlantic Ocean, but due to the naval and air force bases in the Azores, it would be difficult to get to the UK in a straight line, so they would try to come to the UK in a circle around Greenland and Iceland.

As the distance to travel naturally increases, the time to reach the UK will also be delayed.

We have no choice but to reach a conclusion as quickly as possible before the U.S. military arrives. At least London must be occupied.

And didn't you prepare several surprise gifts for this occasion?

"Admiral Dönitz, as of this time the United States has become an official belligerent of Germany. Please direct the entire U-boat fleet to launch attacks on American ships."

"All right!"

Dönitz, who had previously hoped to attack American ships, looked relieved as if everything had gone well.

"Marshal Keitel. Please instruct our military advisory group in China to refrain from individual actions and to always be accompanied by Kuomintang personnel when going out or moving. "Now that Britain and the United States have become enemies of Germany, only the Kuomintang can take responsibility for the safety of the military advisors staying in China."

"Yes, Mr. President."

"Heydrich, you must implement the 'Black Death Operation' that I ordered earlier."

"All right."

Let's calm down our excitement and think as calmly as possible. The situation is still absolutely in our favor.

Not only was the most difficult landing of ground forces accomplished with much less damage than expected, but almost all operations conducted so far were successful.

Air superiority is also with our forces, and the home fleet is blocked by the naval fleet in Norway and cannot move.

"We must capture London before the American army crosses the Atlantic. Is that possible?"

"If the war situation continues as it is now, there will be no problem. "Don't worry!"

Brauchitsch's voice was full of confidence.

Look at that majestic expression on their faces, as if they were saying what they could do no matter how hard the British tried.

"But since the King and Queen of England have declared that they will remain in London, resistance from the British people will be formidable."

Reichenau said. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth declared in a speech to the nation that they would remain in London and continue the resistance.

Since the King and Queen have declared that they will remain in London, the British army will fight to the death.

Therefore, it was expected that there would be considerable difficulties in conquering London.

He only verbally declared that he would remain in London until the end. If it really seemed like London was going to fall, there would be a high possibility that he would fall, but the morale of the British army was fully charged just by the presence of the King and his wife in the capital, and if the King and his wife were to die during the battle, (It's unlikely) but then things get even more serious.

"If he were the king, he would quietly go to Canada like a king, but he is being needlessly exemplary and causing trouble."

If he had jumped ship to Canada, he could have been criticized as 'a scoundrel who drank all the honey he could get from being a royal, but instead of letting a war break out, he ordered the military and people to die, and then ran away to the safety of the rear.'

It's a little uncomfortable, but anyway, it's good. We will show you the sight of your beloved London being destroyed in real time.

Isn't this the only thing left to prepare for?

And Roosevelt, you better be prepared too.

Since you started the war first, I will not hesitate in any way possible.

***

Although the United States and Germany entered a state of war, it had no immediate effect on the war.

The second day of Operation Sea Lion. The German army advanced inland, and the British army did its best to stop the German army from advancing inland.

"This is a request for assistance from the Army!"

"This is a request for support from the ground dogs!"

"Hurry!"

When a request for fire support was received from ground forces, Navy battleships and cruisers adjusted the direction and angle of their guns according to the coordinates sent by the Army.

"Aim complete! launch!"

The 330mm quadruple guns of the Kriegsmarine's French battleships, Hindenburg (Dunkirk) and Ludendorff (Strasbourg), fired gun shells, spewing flames the size of a house.

Every time the naval gun fired, a deafening roar rang out and the water surface became deeply indented for an instant.

The destructive power coming from the deceptive caliber of 330mm was so powerful that no artillery owned by the Army could dare to compare.

The British military position, which had been bombarded with 330mm naval artillery shells, was completely devastated and not even a single piece of the body could be found.

Army soldiers were continually amazed by the terrifying power of naval gunfire and were thankful that the target of the battleship's naval gunfire was not them, but the abominable Tommies.

If you take a direct hit from this huge shell, your body will be reduced to dust before you even think about dying, leaving no trace of it.

The German army showed caution by bombarding the coastal area with anti-aircraft guns in preparation for British air raids.

However, there were not many opportunities for anti-aircraft artillerymen to be active. The RAF fighters were hunted by Luftwaffe veterans before they even reached the beaches.

"Stahlschmidt! "Go there now!"

"Leave it to me!"

German pilots leisurely hunted enemy planes as if they were playing a soccer game.

The Spitfire, angry at losing its comrades, charged at Marseille, who had shot down two Spitfires in a row with just one turn.

Marseille led the Spitfire to pretend to run away.

The American Spitfire pilot, who lost his temper due to anger, moved his aircraft following the tail of the Me262 with Marseille on board.

Without realizing that it was a trap for Marseille and Stahlschmidt.

"Hi, Tommy!"

Stahlschmidt grinned and fired the autocannon briefly. On the second shot, his engine shell hit and split the Spitfire's waist in two.

As a result of the fighter planes' activities, the anti-aircraft artillerymen wasted their time wasting nothing.

The Kugelblitz troops that had landed in England in preparation for the RAF's air raids were all deployed to the front lines and carried out the task of clearing the path for the infantry.

The British army feared the Kugelblitz as a Panther or Tiger type.

If hit by the 30mm cannons fired by the Kugelblitz's twin Mk103 cannons, even well-constructed positions would quickly fall into tatters.

When the Kugelblitz fired 30mm machine cannon shells, the British soldiers who were sticking their upper bodies out of the trenches and firing machine guns were turned into minced meat.

The PIAT gunner went out to destroy the Kugelblitz, but before he could fire the PIAT, he was hit squarely by a 30mm machine cannon and his upper body was crushed.

-Phew!!

The Salamanders approached and shot streams of flame, decimating the British troops filling the trenches.

The British soldiers died instantly without even having a chance to feel pain from the high-temperature flames spewing out from the flamethrower.

The morale of the Home Guard members, who witnessed in real time the sight of our soldiers being brutally slaughtered by the German army's war machines, was low.

Although they voluntarily came to the front for their country, their courage disappeared like smoke when they saw their allies being killed without even being able to properly resist.

Still, some of the crews mustered up all their courage and threw Molotov cocktails or grenades at the enemy tanks rushing into the trenches, but most of them ended up misfiring.

Grenades could only destroy a tank's headlights and tool boxes, and the Molotov cocktail, which had the grandiose name of No. 76 Special Incendiary Grenade, was made so thick that the glass was made so thick to prevent accidents that it could not be thrown. There were frequent cases of it breaking.

The German army eagerly laughed at the Home Guard, who were armed with old-fashioned shotguns, makeshift cannons made from iron pipes, and unbreakable Molotov cocktails.

How did the British Empire fall to this point? And I shot him hard.

"good! "Everyone is doing great!"

Rommel, the deputy commander of the Western Front, rode directly to the front in a Mercedes or Kubelwagen, watched the battle, and encouraged the soldiers heading to the front line.

Not only the staff but also Rundstedt tried to dissuade him, saying it was dangerous, but Rommel, whose blood was hotter than that of the lively soldiers in their 20s, neatly ignored it.

"That's it! "Yes, that's right!"

Rommel clapped his hands sincerely as he watched the 4th Panzer, which had shielded itself from the 2-Pounder's armor-piercing shell, rush forward and crush the 2-Pounder and its anti-tank artillerymen in endless tracks.

"You guys are very brave! When the battle is over, I will personally award the Iron Cross."

Rommel instructed his driver to drive to the scene of the battle.

At the spot where Tank No. 4 passed, there was the wreckage of a destroyed M4 Sherman and the burned and shriveled arm of a tanker sticking out.

As I passed the wreckage, the stinging stink of burning flesh stung my nose.

However, Rommel was amused by the angry smell emanating from the burned Tommies.

"It feels like I'm seeing France three years ago!"

Three years ago, Rommel led the 7th Panzer Division at the forefront of the western blitzkrieg and devastated the British and French troops.

The scenes seen in France at that time were being repeated in England as well.

Infantry and tanks advancing in organic cooperation under the support of the air force, enemy soldiers surrendering after being surrounded and isolated, and soldiers full of energy despite marching day and night: everything.

"The completion of the thousand-year empire that the President spoke of is not far away."

said Colonel Hans von Ruck, Rommel's trusted advisor. Rommel nodded his head with an thrilled face.

"That's right, cancer! "Of course!"

Rommel also heard the news that the United States had declared war on Germany, but he was not worried at all. Look at this.

What is there to be afraid of when there are soldiers confident in victory, powerful war weapons, and a Fuhrer with excellent leadership?

Although Germany was defeated in World War I due to America's entry into the war, this time would be different.

Before the haughty Yankees can cross the sea, the sons of Great Germany will capture London and secure the surrender of the British.

And, Germany's attack on the United States was taking place secretly and out of sight.

***

June 9, two days after the United States declared war on Germany.

When protests against the government's declaration of war against Germany were taking place across the United States,

'Operation Black Death' was launched by SD spies secretly operating in the United States.

"Honey, stop reading the newspaper and eat breakfast. "Your favorite clam chowder is going to get cold."

"… … "Honey, look at this."

"What is it?"

"oh my god."

"Oh my God."

"How could this happen…?" … ?!"

Tuskegee syphilis experiment incident.

America's worst black history of the 20th century.

In 1932, the U.S. Public Health Service, which was researching syphilis, learned that many black people living in Tuskegee, southern Alabama, were suffering from syphilis and were unable to receive proper treatment due to poverty.

What the Health Department did after learning of this fact was not to treat black people, but to conduct biological experiments on them.

The goal of the experiment was to observe what effect syphilis would have on the human body if left untreated.

Doctors dispatched from the Health Department tricked the black people of Tuskegee into thinking they had a disease called bad blood and would treat them, then extracted their cerebrospinal fluid and tested it.

The only medicines that doctors gave to black people were aspirin and iron supplements.

When World War II broke out and conscription was implemented nationwide, black men living in Tuskegee were also conscripted into the U.S. military.

However, after confirming that they had syphilis during a medical examination, the U.S. Army accepted a request from the Public Health Service not to treat black people from Tuskegee.

The Tuskegee blacks slowly died under the illusion that they were being treated, never knowing that they had become the government's test subjects.

This ugly truth was made known to the world 30 years early under Hitler's instructions.

-Shock! The atrocities committed by the Public Health Department in Tuskegee!

-The black people in Tuskegee are lab rats, not people?

-How far is the bottom of this country?

No matter how rampant black-white discrimination is and where it is taken for granted, the shocking truth that citizens of the United States, who are not citizens of other countries, were subjected to biological experiments by their own government was enough to shake the entire United States.

Black people, who were the direct victims of the incident, were angry.

They were accustomed to widespread discrimination and contempt in their daily lives, but this time they could not bear it.

It was natural for them to be angry because the government did not treat them as human beings, let alone citizens.

Even ordinary citizens who considered blacks inferior to whites and unclean were shocked by the truth about Tuskegee.

Even though black people are a people people are reluctant to get close to, it was still unimaginable to conduct such an experiment on their own people.

To make matters worse, revelations were made that the Roosevelt government had ignored information about the Pearl Harbor attack even though it had received it from Germany.

-Did the White House know about the Pearl Harbor attack?

-Pearl Harbor victims sacrificed for war

- Our real enemy is not Berlin, but the White House!

Even the hard-core racists of the South, who believed that black people were inferior and deserved to die, could not get over this easily.

Soon, large-scale protests and riots broke out across the United States.

Tuskegee, where the incident occurred.

Capital Washington DC

New York, Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, Miami, Boston, San Francisco.

And many other cities.

Citizens' anger soared.

"We are not lab rats!"

"We are human!"

"The government must disclose all facts immediately!"

"Warmonger Roosevelt must resign immediately!"

America's real crisis has begun.
