Time: The morning of 01 May 1942
On his plane heading back to Germany, Hitler could be found dozing off in his chair. He had just recently put a long and exhaustive meeting with his frontline commanders behind him, and was now getting his well deserved rest.
After all, plans of a new offensive the coming summer had been finalized and he was confident that this would be the year that the Soviet Union would fall.
Suddenly, a loud explosion and the sky was lit up orange. Then silence returned over the vast expanses of the Soviet Union.
All that the rescue workers later could find where the wreck of Hitler’s Focke-Wulf 200 Condor
and the unrecognizable remains of what was presumed to be Hitler and his entourage.
What had happened to the plane? Some attributed the crash to an unexpected attack by Soviet fighters. Others whispered about a conspiracy. All that was certain was that Hitler had finally lost his famed luck.
The big question was: Would the loss of providence also apply to Germany itself? Only time will tell.
While the fight for the leadership of Germany began, the frontline troops could only wait and see where their new political masters would send them...
