Reichstag Building. Berlin, Germany.
Full Cabinet meeting.
The meeting was not going as planned for Head of State, Adolf Hitler.
"You have brought Germany to its knees with your meddling. You will no longer have control of The Reich and, quite frankly, you either accept our proposal or you will be removed." Chief of Staff, Heinz Guderian.
"I am the Fuhrer, how dare you speak to me so! I will have you all shot for this!"
"Julius, you have SS-Gruppenfuehrer Hermann Fegelein at Headquarters correct?" Guderian to new Chief of the Army, Julius Ringel.
"Of course Heinz."
Two dull thuds are heard.
"Well Gentlemen, lets see if we can save our country from ruin shall we. Julius have the Gruppenfuehrer suitably attired and send him on vacation to Obersalzberg with his sister in law." Head of Government, Martin Bormann.
"Reports, and make them brief we all have a lot to do."
