The Darkest hour of the Russian Empire 2
Chapter Five: 1941
Part XXV: Europe under the boot
Today is my birthday and I have a kind of a party soon, so don't blame me for a short update
When England fell under the terrible strikes of the German fists, British soldiers could no longer defend Gibraltar. After a few attempts German paratroopers captured the fortress. The Mediterranean was now closed from the Western side.

Meanwhile the English campaign of Wehrmacht was going to finish soon. British soldiers never fought on their homeland and simply didn't know how to stand against the invasion. Day by day cities of the UK were occupied. The government fled to Canada...

Churchill and the king left the country and were evacuated to Canada. They refused to surrender, which helped the Germans to create a puppet state of Oswald Mosley by 25 of February.

In Greece, last bastion of freedom in Europe, the battles were going on. But the Greek army couldn't resist the offensive for a long time. German and Bulgarian armies managed to cross the border and the end of Greece was obvious.

The British Empire couldn't believe that London was in enemies' hands. The Commonwealth of various colonies and dominions began to break apart - they no longer had the ruling center...
The Empire began to collapse
On 22 of March Switzerland capitulated too. Europe was fully controlled by Fascist or pro-Fascist regime. American president Roosevelt called that situation "The worst times of the Old World".

New toys of German war machine. With all industrial facilities of Europe in their hands Germans were able to produce hundreds of war goods.
Very soon Mosley returned the British-occupied territories in Africa to their former Italian masters. It was quite curious to look at the territories which were lost by the Italians with tons of blood and returned without a single shot.
