Germany played by Dobeln - Summer 1941
In a dastardly move, the Allies invade the netherlands, gaining a foothold that threatens all of Western Europe. In a fit of rage, Adolf Hitler replaces the commander of western forces. It is decided that pressure must be put on the beaches - all the available fighter and bomber resources of the Reich pound airfields within the allied beachhead. This is followed up with an all-out frontal assault on the Allied perimiter.
To the surprise of OKW, the allied defense crumbles, and the Allies are forced to evacuate their forces across the channel in a humiliating repeat of Dunkirk.
This in turn means that operation "Kartoffelkanone", the emergency plan for rapid transfer of major armor formations from the east, is hastily cancelled. Instead, the planned assault on Stalingrad and Rostov proceeds as planned, while only minor units board the trains to France.
Also, with heavy air support from Luftflotte 4, Italian forces respond to the dastardly violation of Persian neutrality.
