Chapter 2: Offensive in the West
December 16th - December 22nd, 1944
All planned offensives started on December 16th at 4:00. Hitler approved Guderian's plan to attack first in Luxembourg, then wait until American reinforcemnt arrive from Maastricht and then attack in Maastricht. Luftwaffe will help our troops in these offensives until we run out of oil. Minister Speer is communicating with Argentina's ministers about the oil. Hitler thinks that situation with oil can be dangerous for Western Front so he ordered that Belgium has to be reconquered as soon as possible.
At 7:00 Guderian met in Vienna with his staff discussing situations in Warsaw and Budapest. Guderian said that 6. Armee should leave Budapest and help in defending of Komarno because if Komarno falls the whole front is in danger but if Budapest falls nothing will change our defensive plans. Also, he said that in Warsaw, Warsaw Uprising will soon begin because Gestapo reported increased activity in Warsaw. Guderian proposed retreat from Warsaw because fight with resistance would just bring more death to Germany. Guderian was warned that Hitler would never approve retreat from Budapest and Warsaw but Guderian said that Hitler doesn't need to know about this. Wilhelm Keitel, Hitler's ass kisser, said that this is treason and that Hitler must know about this. Alferd Jodl supported Guderian's idea and defended Guderian. Jodl said that every man is important for Germany. Commander of Warsaw Garrison, Mj. General von Liebenstein zu Barchfeld, and commander of 9. Armee, Lt. General Fretter-Pico, agreed with Guderian. At the end of the meeting it was decided that German army will retreat from both cities.
At 15:00, Guderian met Führer in his residence Berghof. Alongside Hitler were Reichsmarshall Göring, Wilhelm Keitel, Alfred Jodl and Hans Krebs. Guderian proposed an offensive in the north. He said that Soviet and Finish aren't strong enough and he said that German army could defeat them with blitzkrieg tactic. He also said that General Keitel should lead an attack because he has a good offensive doctrine. Führer agreed with the plan although he didn't plan an offensive in the north. He also appointed Keitel as the general who will lead the attack. Keitel wasn't happy because he knew that Guderian proposed this to remove Keitel from Hitler's HQ.
On December 17th Warsaw Uprising began. Our troops were already in retreat so plans didn't change. This situation may be good for us because Polish Home Army is the army of Democratic Polish Government. At the Yalta Conference Roosvelt, Churchill and Stalin agreed to reorganize the communist Provisional Government of the Republic of Poland that had been installed by the Soviet Union "on a broader democratic basis." Warsaw is now controlled by Democratic Forces so maybe the conflict will break out between USA and Soviet Union.
The offensive in the north started on December 17th at 0:00 as planned. Our attack surpised the Bolshevik forces in north Norway. Also, Grand Admiral Dönitz ordered converting convoys into transports. He ordered that because he wants to evacuate Courland pocket as fast as possible.
On the same day the Bolshevik troops began their offensive in Tuzla and Komarno. Situation in Tuzla is stable and they won't cross the Drina river. Ustasha forces there are fighting because high morale because they claim it's their historical border and they won't let Bolsheviks to cross it. Also, Hitler promoted Guderian to the rank of Field Marshal. He was promoted because of his briliant plans for the offensives in Italy, Belgium and Norway.
In the midnight, on December 18th, attack on Maastricht began. Luftwaffe provided a massive help to German forces there for a few hours before we ran out of oil. Battle of Maastricht is crucial for our offensive in the west. If we win it we will be able to encircle Allied troops in Eindenhoven because there is no second line of defense. We want to embarrasse Allied generals and soldiers and we want to prove that we have superior generals and soldiers because our soldiers are of pure Aryan blood.
On the same day, Red Hordes attacked our troops in Plock and Tilsit. Führer ordered to Heresgruppe Mitte Reserve to help our troops in Tilsit and III. SS-Panzerkorps to help our troops in Plock. When generals told Führer about Warsaw situation he was so mad and he said that all the generals are the traitors of German people. He said that they betrayed him because they didn't tell him about the uprising when it was time. When Führer ordered an attack on Warsaw, generals said that armies there are unable to attack because it would expose the Eastern front. Hitler then told all generals to leave.
On December 21st, Minister for Armaments and War Production Albert Speer came to Führer with good news. He reported that he made a trade agreement with South America countries about the oil. Führer was happy and he thanked Speer for his activity and he said to him that he is a true German patriot unlike those dirty generals.
December 22nd was another good day for the Führer. News came to his HQ in Obersalzberg around 20:00. There were three reports. Reports were from Field Marshal Keitel, Admiral Backenköler and Field Marshal Model. Keitel reported that German Army won the battle of Alta and that he is waiting for new orders. Backenköler reported that Baltische Flotte won the battle of Danzig Bay. Finish navy tried to stop the evacuation of Courland pocket but German will for the win overcome Finland. Field Marshal Model reported that German forces entered Luxembourg and that this is the time to encircle Allied forces in Belgium.

Quite the challenge SCC, if you can pull off an Axis victory I'll be very impressed.
Wut. Starting offensives in winter 1945 as Germany, next level of insanity achieved. 
Victories! Not bad.
I agree with you
I'll do my best

I can't wait for spring because I'm already out of oil
Good start! I feel embarrassed because I just started a 1945 AAR, and now I see you just started one too o
I believe you could get oil back into the positive range IF you do not move any of your units... which is, of course, not an option in this scenario! Best of luck to you!

Chapter 3: Encirclement and new Defensive Line
December 22nd - December 27th, 1944
When our forces entered Luxembourg, Führer called a meeting in his Felsennest HQ at 19:00 on December 22nd and ordered Guderian's II SS-Panzerkorps to stop its attack on Maastricht. At the meeting were following officers: Field Marshal Guderan, Field Marshal Model, Field Marshal von Blomberg General Hausser and General von Manckensen. They agreed that Eupen is crucial and it must be conquered. The following troops were given the task to attack Eupen: II SS-Panzerkorps, 5. Panzerarmee, XXXIX. Panzerkorps and LVIII. Panzerkorps. Officers and Führer on Maastricht must continue and that attack on Arlon must begin on December 23rd in the morning. Führer said that this offensive is the most important offensive in Wehrmact's history!
On the same day, in Zagreb, in Banski Dvori, Poglavnik of Croatia Ante Pavelić and Commander of Army Group E Alexander Löhr met. Löhr told him that it is impossible to defend the positions on the Drina river because the Red Army was brought to help Yugoslav bandits. Löhr said that German and Croatian troops will retreat to the line Bjelovar-Zagreb-Karlovac. Pavelić wasn't happy but he had to accept it but he requested that Germans must take 25 000 Serbs from Bosnia as a forced labour in Germany. After telephone conversation with Hitler, Löhr agreed.
After Löhr presented to Pavelić what he will do with German and Croatian troops, Pavelić had a meeting with Vjekoslav Luburić and the NDH ministers. Pavelić told Luburić to prepare Armed Forces for the final fight with communists. There was a discussion about abolition of racial laws because its obvious that Germany is losing the war and maybe there is still a chance to change the side and join the anti-Hitler coalition.

At 22:00 General de Angelis, the commander of an attack on Pecs, found out about retreat plan of Army Group E. He called Löhr, called him a failure and said that commanders like him are the reason why Germany is losing the war. De Angelis said that Löhr is responsible for stoping the attack on Pecs. An hour later, de Angelis ordered all German and Croatian troops to stop the attack. He did it without consulting with Führer. When German officers warned him, he said that Hitler would never allow it and he couldn't risk a life of thousands German soldiers.
On December 23rd, at 4:00, news arrived in Führer's Felsennest HQ. He learned that the attack on Pecs was stopped without his permission. He was so pissed off. He said that military has been ruining his plans since the beginning. He said he can't take it anymore. He ordered that there will no longer be one Chief of the Army, but two: Chief of the Army for Western Front and Chief of the Army for Eastern Front. He said that he doesn't want to spend his time thinking about Eastern Front because victory in the West is near. He named Alferd Jodl Chief of the Army for Eastern Front and sent him a telegram in which it states that Jodl can do whatever he wants in the East.
Jodl was proud when he heard the news. His first order was sent to German troops in East Prussia. Jodl ordered them to retreat to a defensive line on the river Vitsula. Heeresgruppe Mitte Reserve was sent to Koenisberg to defend it to the last man. Supplies and reinforcment will be brought by sea. Jodl formed a defensive line on Vitsula because he thinks that is the only defensive line that can be defend because the front is not that long and river is hard for crossing.
At 17:00, an attack on Arlon and Eupen started.
On December 24th our forces entered Arlon and started moving toward Namur. Namur is undefended. Führer couldn't believe that Americans left Namur undefended. He said that this action proves that Aryan race is superior to others and it also proves that Americans, half Judaized and half Negrified, aren't very intelligent people. Only Americans that are intelligent, are of German origin.
On December 26th, our forces entered Namur.
On December 27th Wehrmacht encircled 22 Allied divisions in Liege and Eupen. Führer was so happy. He called himself "the greatest chief of the army in the history". He said that if generals listened to him from the beginning of the war, Germany would control the world now. After that Führer ordered Wehrmacht to stop an attack on Eupen. He said that we will attack encircled Allied divisions after they run out of supplies. Later that day, he inspected the troops in Koblenz.

West is safe, east is crumbling.
Linking up with Dunkirk?
Yeah, that will be a problem. The mountains of the Balkans will be a good defensive position, but only to such a degree and the reds have massive numbers on their sides.
By the way, how is the development of the Wunderwaffen going?
West is safe, east is crumbling.
Linking up with Dunkirk?
Yeah, I want to save those troops in Dunkirk. I think it's even possible to conquer Paris.
We'll see. I hope it's not a mistake.
