I think its time to rename this AAR to das Ende vom Anfang (the end of the beginning)

[video=youtube;onPguWO2oMA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onPguWO2oMA[/video]
April 1945
The situation as of April 1 1945 was shown to the Fuhrer in his Fuhrerbunker. The Fuhrer was in completely ruined mood. He continously talked about how the weak deserves to be destroyed by the strong. He stated that if the military followed his orders explicitly, the matters would never have become that worse.
Soviets entered Liegnitz and Meseritz on April 2. Our forces in Karlsruhe was forced to withdraw from the city.
Karlsruhe fell on April 3. General Model is resisting American attack against Bielefeld.
Soviets launched offensive against Landshut in the South. Our forces in the area has already prepared themselves for withdrawing to Regensburg. In the North, the front was stable for the past few days along the Oder river.
On April 6, Americans brokethrough our defenses in Munster. Our troops are retreating to Wilhelmshaven. Our forces in Arnhem were also alerted and ordered to march towards Wilhelmshaven as quickly as possible.
We launched counter-offensive against Munster to prevent Americans from pursuing our retreating forces in the area. Karlsruhe counter-offensive also became successful and we drove American forces out of the city.
Our froces from Munster arrived at Wilhelmshaven and thwarted weak American attack against the city. General Model at the same time stopped his diversionary counter-offensive against Munster. Americans launched another offensive a little bit in the south, in Frankfurt.
As of April 14, the situation remains stable along Oder river. However in the West, we lose ground rapidly to American forces. Dutch partisans reclaimed Groningen two days ago.
On April 17, Americans launched an attack against Bielefield. General Model, warying of collapse of the front, decided to form a defensive perimeter to farther east.
On April 26, Soviets launched offensive against Nuremberg. Our forces were already evacuating the region according to orders from General Model.

Interesting: In the the south the Soviets got a hold of the exact bavarian borders it seems.
Not in these borders, but a larger territory such as big as Germany. Infantry doesn't requre oil, supply wouldn't not problem, am I correct?

July 1945
By July 5 Berlin was completely encircled. More than 200.000 troops are defending the capital of the Reich.
August 1945
Soviet airforce and artillery bombed Berlin for a month and finally launched a devastating attack on the capital. The Fuhrer issued the following order :
SOLDIERS ON THE GERMAN EASTERN FRONT:
The Jewish Bolshevik arch-enemy has gone over to the attack with his masses for the last time. He attempts to smash Germany and to eradicate our nation. You soldiers from the east today already know yourselves to a large extent what fate is threatening, above all, German women, girls and children. While old men and children are being murdered, women and girls are humiliated to the status of barracks prostitutes. Others are marched off to Siberia.
We have anticipated this thrust, and since January of this year everything has been done to build up a strong front. Mighty artillery is meeting the enemy. Our infantry's casualties were replenished by countless new units. Reserve units, new formations and the Volksturm reinforce our front. This time the Bolsheviks will experience Asia's old fate. That is, he must and will bleed to death in front of the capital of the German Reich.
Whosoever does not do his duty at this moment is a traitor to our nation. The regiment or division that leaves its position acts so disgracefully that it will have to be ashamed before the women and children who are withstanding the bombing terror in our towns.
Above all, look out for the treacherous few officers and soldiers who, to secure their own miserable lives, will fight against us in Russian pay, perhaps even in German uniform. Whosoever gives you a command to retreat is, unless you know him well, to be arrested immediately, and if necessary to be executed immediately, irrespective of his rank.
If in these coming days and weeks every soldier on the Eastern Front fulfills his duty, Asia's last onslaught will collapse just as in the end our enemies' penetration in the west will despite everything, come to nought. Berlin remains German, Vienna will again be German and Europe will never be Russian.
Form one community, sworn to defend not a vain conception of a fatherland, but to defend your homeland, your women, your children and thus your future.
In this hour the entire German nation looks to you, my soldiers in the east, and only hopes that by your fanaticism, by your arms and by your leadership, the Bolshevik onslaught is drowned in a blood bath.

Battle of Berlin
Wehrmacht, without oil and ammunition defended the capital fiercely. However, our lines were broken on August 6. The Fuhrer was outraged by the collapse of the front and declared that the war is hopelessly lost.
[video=youtube;pR5q0ajW8Ko]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR5q0ajW8Ko[/video]
The Fuhrer refused to leave the city for Norway and walked out to his room to write his testament.
Its too bad the Soviets took Bavaria. I was hoping that the Allies would reach that region first. It looks like you might have a rump FRG on your hands when you continue past the Reich's Downfall.
Great final stand. It is really rare to see such a thing happen in an AAR campaign.
