This is a 1936 campaign using the 0.71 C.O.R.E. Mod but with the regular victory point allocation to attempt and reach normal US entry.
Something is brewing in Berlin
In the early morning hours of January 2nd. Hitler called together his staff of Generals and Advisors to a meeting that was going to determine the future of Germany.
He startet by announcing that he had been informed by Himmler that certain groups in the population were not completely satisfied with the current situation in the country and were making constant attempts to steal and gather large amounts of resources for themselves. This situation cannot be toleratet and therefore Himmler is emmidiately appointed new Minister of Security and charged with finding and removing any such individuals, harming the future of The Reich.
Next point on the agenda was a large reorganisation of the German Wermacht. The Following list was presented to the Generals who were asked to make the changes in troop placement and command structure. The changes were to be made and fully executed by February 1st. New conscripts are to be enlisted and 18 new infantry divisions formed and incorporated into the infantry korps. These new divisions are to be supplied with the latest in anti-tank equipment, and are to stand ready as soon as possible.

Führer enjoys victories at the Winter Olympics
From his personal podium Adolf Hitler watched as the great athletes of Germany gained victory after victory in the Olympic Winter Games in Gamish-Patenkirchen. A total of 89 medal, 33 of which were gold, distracted the rest of the world as the armies of Germany finished rearranging and The conscripts arrived at barracs all around the country and began training. The Fuhrer was pleased. Very pleased, and spoke of many triumphs to come for Germany in the years to come.
Gustloff's Murder in Switzerland
On February 10 distressing news reached the Nazi headquarters. The leader of the National Socialists in Switzerland had been murdered. Hitler took this as yet another attempt by the world to put constraints on the nation of Germany. He attended the Funeral two days later and spoke to those who had come to lay Gustloff to rest:
. . . BEHIND every murder stood the same power which is responsible for this murder; behind these harmless insignificant fellow-countrymen who were instigated and incited to crime stands the hate-filled power of our foe, a foe to whom we had done no harm, but who none the less sought to subjugate our German people and make of it its slave - the foe who is responsible for all the misfortune that fell upon us in 1918, for all the misfortune which plagued Germany in the years that followed. Those members of the Party and honorable comrades of ours all fell, and the same fate was planned for others: many hundreds survived as cripples or severely wounded, blinded or lamed; more than 40,000 others were injured. And among them were so many loyal folk whom we all knew and who were near and dear to us, of whom we were sure that they could never do any harm to anyone, that they had never done any harm to anyone, whose only crime was that they devoted themselves to the cause of Germany.
In the ranks of those whose lives were thus sacrificed there stood also Horst Wessel, the singer who gave to the Movement its song, never dreaming that he would join those spirits who march and have marched with us.
And now on foreign soil National Socialism has gained its first conscious martyr - a man who did nothing save to enter the lists for Germany which is not only his sacred right but his duty in this world: a man who did nothing save remember his homeland and pledge himself to her in loyalty. He, too, was murdered, just like so many others. Even at the time when on January 30 three years ago we had come into power, precisely the same things happened in Germany, at Frankfort on the Oder, at Köpenick, and again at Brunswick. The procedure was always the same: a few men come and call someone out of his house and then stab or shoot him down.
That is no chance: it is the same guiding hand which organized these crimes and purposes to do so again. Now for the first time one who is responsible for these acts has appeared in his own person. For the first time he employs no harmless German fellow-countryman.
It is a title to fame for Switzerland, as it is for our own Germans in Switzerland, that no one let himself be hired to do this deed so that for the first time the spiritual begetter of the act must himself perform the act. So our comrade has fallen a victim to that power which wages a fanatical warfare not only against our German people but against every free, autonomous, and independent people. We understand the challenge to battle and we take up the gage! My dear comrade! You have not fallen in vain!
The Forces are gathering
The first 7 infantry divisions have finished their training and have been assigned to their future posts. The Fuhrer is pleased but demands caution, England and France must not know of our plans or we risk intervention by them before we are ready for it.
Mussolini visits Germany
on April 24th. Mussolini arrives by train in Berlin and is Greeted by Hitler who congratules him on the resent Italien victory in Africa. The following talks are casual yet somewhat reserved as Mussolini brings up the resent propaganda campaigns by Germany in Austria and his concerns about this. Hitler assures him that he will take no actions that are unwanted by the Austrian people as long as the German minority in Austria is treated fair.
