    Freikorps Part 1 - Germany's Terminators
    Oct 27 2025

    What does a society do when it has trained killing machines that it can't turn off? That is the situation Germany faced after World War 1, as its elite Storm Troopers returned home to a country where the old order had collapsed. Despising the new German Republic, they would band together to crush Communist revolts and even invade the Baltic states, leaving death and destruction everywhere they went. All the while they waited to turn on the Republic itself. They would become Germany's Terminators.

    Oct 20 2025

    In 1941 World War 2 isn't going well for Britain. In North Africa a new German General called Erwin Rommel is running rings around them, turning the desert into this own playground. Desperate to turn the tide they launch a commando mission that was as ambitious and daring, as it was badly implemented and dogged by bad luck. Its mission was simple, to 'Get Rommel.'

In between he finds the time to cause the worst peace time disaster in the history of the American army and botches an invasion of Canada. He's the founding father everyone wants to forget about.
