Yet, it's not pro-Nazi. Quite the opposite: I'm writing an "After Action Report" based on a game called Hearts of Iron 3. I haven't done any creative writing in a long time, and this is a time-honored tradition amongst HOI fans for telling how their games progressed.

The upshot is, I have Roy show up in Berlin during the invasion of Poland, whereupon he whacks Himmler, Heydrich, Frick and Hitler in a single night. One bomb, one bullet, one sudden change of government.

What you may find interesting is the level of historical research involved in crafting this tale. Did you know Hitler had named Goering, an essentially spineless man by 1939, as his immediate successor just a month before invading Poland? That Rudolf Hess, Hitler's personal secretary and Deputy-to-the-Fuhrer, was an ardent occultist who once had Germany's ley lines mapped?

Here, Roy is exploiting mythos, as much as psychology, to bully his way into taking Hitler's place and steer Germany in a different direction...but I worked hard to avoid any incidents of deus ex machina other than having him show up in the first place.

I hope you'll enjoy reading the result, as much as I hope to enjoy discovering how this story is going to pan out.
