August 4th, 1953
BBC Home and Forces Program
"This is the BBC home and forces program. This is Bruce Belfrage. Hitler is dead. Following a failed SS coup on the current German government, several high-ranking Nazi officials have been arrested, along with many divisional commanders affiliated with those suspected. Among the many of those arrested in the assassination plot, Goring, Goebbels, and Himmler are suspected to have planned and executed the daring plot. Ludwig Beck and Carl Friedrich Goerdeler have formed the higher echelon of government, with many other highly skilled officials filling in the lower echelons."
"Despite this recent upheaval in the German government, the new government has confirmed that it will set in motion a plan for the occupied territories. Many new governments have been formed to ensure the stability of Europe, and all have joined the Axis powers. With the war in Europe at an end, the Axis Alliance is expected to undergo major changes and form the European Union."
"Among many of the changes in the European stage, Sweden has undergone political restructuring and has now formed under a new banner, Scandinavia. This was pressured by one of the most prominent commanders of the Scandinavian campaign, Johan. He pushed for the incorporation of the Norwegian lands into Sweden, which the end result has been Scandinavia. Both Norwegian and Swedish populations have reacted positively to the union."
