Germany looks like it's in serious trouble, I hope the leadership doesn't start to get desperate.
Because I feel like it, how about another update today!
US troops now begin operations to take control of German Croatia, a region that was annexed directly into the German Empire after the 2nd World War to give Germany a direct seaport on the Mediterranean sea. German forces fight stubbornly, but are slowly being pushed out of the area.
Meanwhile, allied troops push forward in western Europe, invading the Ardennes forest area.
Resistance in the Ardennes is quickly collapsing. Here, at the Wallonian capital of Liege, General Charles DeGalle leads allied forces into the city. The conscripts of the Wallonian army, many of whom begin deserting en masse, are easily pushed out of the city by the French army.
Back in the south, US forces in the Balkans succeed in linking up with Allied troops in Italy, completely sealing off the Mediterranean sea to the Germans.
Meanwhile, in Finland, British forces are ordered on the offensive, this time moving towards the south. At Oulu, Finnish troops are pushed out after very heavy fighting, in preparations for a large scale offensive towards the south.
German forces in France are being squeezed further towards the coastline. At Amiens, German troops resist the allied advance fiercely, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides before they finally retreat to Le Havre.
Allied forces now converge on the city of Le Havre, which now resembles something more like a fortress, due to a huge German presence in the city. German defenses are very thick, inflicting huge allied casualties that force the halt of the advance here until allied units are ready to try again.
In the Balkans, US and allied troops converge on the former Croatian capital city of Zagreb. The German garrison of the city, enveloped on nearly all sides by the American forces, are easily forced to flee north into Slovenia.
Back in Finland, the British army gets its revenge for earlier defeats in the European campaign at the hands of the Finnish Army. A large Finnish force at Rovaniemi is crushed by the British, who possess a massive firepower advantage over the Finns. With Rovaniemi secure, the British can now focus all their efforts towards the south, where the Finnish advantage of terrain is much weaker.
Unable to just crush the German forces in Le Havre, Allied units instead decide to cut them off and capture them. Allied troops take Dieppe, cutting the German army in Le Havre off from all supply. In response, the German forces in the city launch devastating counterattacks against the allied forces in Dieppe. After several pitched battles, the allied forces in Dieppe are driven out, reopening the German supply lines.
The Germans now decide that retreat from the city is a far better option than defending it and risking their forces getting cut off again. Under the cover of the luftwaffe, the 1.25 million German soldiers that were crammed into Le Havre flee the city and move along the channel coast back towards Germany. Following this evacuation, allied units finally are able to advance here, eventually taking control of the entire channel coast.
To the east, German forces begin taking offensive action. At Cracow, 380,000 German troops, led by General Kesselring, slam into the allied positions, overrunning American lines and forcing US troops to flee to the south.
Back in the west, the government of Wallonia is captured before they are able to flee across the border into the Netherlands. The country of Wallonia surrenders to the allied forces quickly afterwards. Not only does this bring the allied frontline right up to the Dutch border, but the collapse of Wallonia also brings about the complete reunification of France under one government, for the first time since the beginning of the 2nd World War when France was under the control of the Syndicalist Commune of France.

Lol its funny to see how much the pace of your updates has increased with that of the war. Just cant give up that 'one more turn' 
Impressive progress, the Germans are now clearly unable to stop your advance.
If you manage to cross the Rhine, the war will be won.
If you manage to cross the Rhine, the war will be won.
I hope for a massive German/Russian counter attack ^^ like a large Battle of the Bulge but on a massive scale
@everyone: thanks for the comments!
With Wallonia gone, Allied forces begin to cross into the Netherlands. Dutch resistance easily collapses in the face of the overwhelming allied onslaught.
The Dutch abandon their positions in Flanders and flee north to defend their homeland. At Eindhoven, a Dutch force attempts to make a stand against the allied advance. However, they are far out of their league. The massive armies of the Allied Forces easily crush the Dutch defenders, and proceed to cross the Rhine River at Arnhem.
Meanwhile, at sea, Admiral Nimitz' taskforce is ambushed and utterly crushed off the coast of Spain. At the cost of four aircraft carriers, including the last of the US navy's pre-pacific war aircraft carriers, the American fleet is only able to sink 1 German cruiser, an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the German navy.
In retaliation, American skyhawk bombers take to the skies over the Bay of Biscay, hunting for the German fleet. Contact is made very quickly, with American bombers pounding the German fleet with relentless attacks. These air attacks succeed in sinking approximately 1-2 enemy carriers, as well as damaging a number of other vessels before the German fleet escapes to safer waters.
Back on land, the allied forces converge on the Dutch capital of Amsterdam. The Dutch army makes its final stand here, with the assistance of a few German and Russian units that are based in the city. The allied troops, undaunted, attack the city, clearing it out house by house, block by block, eventually succeeding in taking complete control of the Dutch capital.
On July 26th, 1961, the Dutch government surrenders unconditionally to the allied forces. The few German and Russian troops in the country are rounded up and captured as well, having been cut off from escape.
August 5th, 1961. Germany is now surrounded by enemies on all sides. US forces are massed in the Balkans, making final preparations to advance into Austria and Bohemia. To the south, Huge allied units are ready to cross into the Alps, the only major obstacle between allied units and the entire German state of Bavaria. To the north, British units occupy Copenhagen, and are waiting for a change to expand further into Denmark. Finally, in the west, the massed armies of the allied forces are getting ready, preparing for operations into Germany itself. Germany's political and military leaders are now beyond desperation.
Joint Allied Command now halts all offensive operations in Europe to allow a chance at avoiding further bloodshed. American diplomats meet with their German counterparts in Switzerland, and offer Germany a chance at unconditional surrender, stating that Germany has lost the war and should stand down to end the madness once and for all.
The German government however is not ready to listen. Their old, militaristic leaders, as well as the elite members of the old Prussian officer corps, do not want to bear the humiliation of defeat. Stating that Germany will never surrender, the German government refuses the Allies olive branch and declares that the war will continue.
Having been outmatched on all fronts by conventional means, Germany is left with only one option to somehow obtain victory. The German Kaiser immediately gives complete clearance to his Generals to deploy Germany's stockpile of tactical and strategic nuclear weapons. The Russian Czar also allows his commanders full authority to use Russia's nuclear arsenal.
The time has now come for the war to enter its final stage. Both sides are now ready to make full use of the most devastating weapon ever conceived by Human Science. Now, the very future of mankind is in danger. Despite the danger, the United States and its allies prepare for the final push, to finally end this war once and for all!

*grabs wife and kids to head to the nuclear bunker.*
Who knew we should have been more careful of the Kaiser using nukes than the Soviets!
Who knew we should have been more careful of the Kaiser using nukes than the Soviets!
That was such a beautiful and ominous end to the update that I was inspired to write this:
I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed the last 70 pages of your stupendous work. Keep it up, Kaiser_Mobius!
His Imperial Highness, Kaiser Wilhelm IV, stood motionless at the window of the Imperial Palace. In the distance the fires of the previous night's bombings still raged, casting brighter light on the stern, yet haggard-looking men standing behind him. The Kaiser straightened his back and turned to face them.
'Gentlemen.'
'Kaiser,' the Chief of the General Staff replied.
It was significant that it was the Chief, von Witzleben, who spoke first. The Kaiser glanced over to the corner of the room, where his Chancellor, the so-called reformer and moderniser Hanns Siedel, stood hunched and avoiding the eye of his monarch. It wasn't Siedel's fault. He had been appointed to keep the public happy - he was a moderniser, a technocrat, someone who could promise to keep the country going through the war like that charismatic Kennedy fellow across the Atlantic. But everyone with half a brain knew that the power had rested with the Generals ever since the Russians began to retreat in Siberia. If von Witzleben requested Siedel's removal, then so it would be. The Kaiser shifted uncomfortably as he contemplated what might happen if von Witzleben ever requested his Emperor's removal.
The Kaiser closed his eyes for a moment and lowered his head, before inhaling deeply and looking into the faces of those who looked at him. At 55, he had never served in a war (his Grandfather, then Father, had forbidden him from flying during the Second Weltkrieg) but had lived his entire life in the shadow of them. Grandfather had had the Weltkrieg. Father, the Second. And now his looked to be over, with a harshly different result.
'My Kaiser...' the Chief of the General Staff began.
'Please continue.'
'You will have received the communication from the Allies by now.'
The sentence was a statement without a hint of question. von Witzleben had naturally received it first and sent it straight to the Kaiser. The Chancellor would be lucky to get a look at it before the Second Adjutant to the Deputy Chief of the General Staff.
'I have.'
'I must advise you that it is the opinion of the military that the war can still be won.'
Of course it is, thought the Kaiser. That has been the opinion of the military since 1864. The Chief continued.
'The situation is, however, dangerous on all fronts. A general retreat is out of the question, but it has been suggested that we retreat from the Balkan front to bolster our forces in the west-'
'Please do not insult me further, Field Marshall,' the Kaiser sighed.
'My Kaiser, I do not understand.'
'Field Marshall, you will leave this room and carry out whatever strategic orders you feel necessary. There is only one directive left that the bearer of my title is required to activate. That can be the only reason that you are here the same day the Dutch ambassador so politely requested political asylum of me, on grounds that he no longer has a country to go home to.'
The Kaiser's words hung heavy in the air. This man had never fired a shot in anger in his life, and here he was, almost patronising the men who had carried this nation from strength to strength over two generations. Siedel glowed with admiration in the background, hiding his face behind a hand.
'My Kaiser,' began von Witzleben, having regained his composure, 'I apologise. You are, of course, correct. Under the Emergency Measures taken by my staff and the armed forces, there is only one directive that I require of you now.'
His tone became icy as he finished, and it looked as though the words blocked his throat. The Kaiser nodded, slowly.
'I will not surrender, Field Marshall, although that, I believe, is the one task that falls in fact to poor, emasculated Hanns over there. My father did not surrender when Syndicalism was at the gates. My grandfather did not surrender when the Entente looked to be on the verge of victory. His grandfather did not surrender when -'
He stopped, abruptly, conscious that a tear was rolling down his right cheek.
Damn, he thought, there I go. Now that is all the history books shall say of this occasion. The last Kaiser, the last King of Prussia, weeping in his office.
'My Kaiser -'
'Silence, please. Grant me at least that dignity before I sign away the lives of millions.'
The document that von Witzleben had brought with him bore a simple, almost child-like title: Superbombs. On the first page was written a cleanly-phrased set of rules that set out the need for the Kaiser to provide his signature and his seal to the first and second pages of the document for the rest of it to be carried out.
'You will notice, Field Marshall, that I have my pen, ink and wax ready.'
The Chief's eyes lit up. He had noticed, alright.
The signing process was over in a moment. The General Staff representatives took the document from the Kaiser's almost-shaking hand and bowed in an almost mocking gesture of servility.
'Thank you, your highness. Your actions have saved Germany.'
The Kaiser tried not to laugh. It wasn't difficult.
'Good day, Field Marshall.'
The farewell came out like an order, perhaps the last one he would ever give. The General Staff swept from the room in a swirl of dark blue and black dress uniforms. The Kaiser glanced across at Siedel, who still cowered in the corner of the room.
'Do not blame yourself, Hanns. In another life, you would have been an excellent peacetime Chancellor. But this,' the Kaiser poured himself a drink, 'is an age of blood and iron. And you are no Bismarck.'
He drank.
'And he,' he gestured violently at the door, spitting the word, 'is no von Moltke.'
And I am no Wilhelm I, he thought, sinking into his chair.
The Kaiser closed his eyes and lost himself in thought. He did not even notice as the Chancellor rushed from the room to telephone his family and tell them to get to Switzerland as soon as possible and bury themselves in the side of a mountain. As the General Staff made the necessary telephone calls to the Reich Rocketry and Ballistics Service, the Kaiser thought of his own family. Of his wife. Of his son Willie. The boy would never become Wilhelm V. And if by chance he did, what would he be Kaiser of? A desolate wasteland, populated by bands of militarists and squabbling industrialists, all warring under the watchful eye of 'Allied observers'? The Kaiser shuddered. Perhaps it was better this way. The indignity of surrender would not be suffered by the German people. They would go to their fiery graves knowing their masters, their great military masters, had never given up. The Kaiser suppressed a mirthless cackle and decided what he would do. The Hohenzollerns would not desert Berlin. The Hohenzollerns had always stayed in Berlin. They would stay here now.
Until there was no Berlin left.
'Gentlemen.'
'Kaiser,' the Chief of the General Staff replied.

Figures, who'd thought that Germany would go the way of Ol' Belka, nuking the borders to prevent their enemies from getting across...
The irony, send in the tanks, they gonna get invaded anyway.

@Meadow: That was wonderful writing. I think you caught the atmosphere spot on right there.
@everyone else: thanks for the comments!
August, 1961. After the completion of final preparations, Allied forces cross the border and invade Germany itself. Enemy resistance is near fanatical, with German units fighting ferociously to maintain their positions and stop the allied advance.
To the northeast, the British army is launching its own large scale offensive, driving south towards Finland's major coastal cities, including the capital of Helsinki.
Back in Germany, the allied attack is faltering. In the face of intense German firepower, the offensives on both Aachen and Dortmund are driven back. Meanwhile, German forces in Cologne are driven back across the Rhine River.
To the southeast, US forces begin their drive into Austria and Bohemia. Vienna, the former capital of Austria, is besieged by forces led by General MacArthur's first army, and is taken after a long and devastating battle. Further south, American forces march on Graz, eventually taking the city.
And then, it begins. Not long after the beginning of Allied offensive operations into Germany, a strategic thermonuclear weapon detonates in the major Chinese city of Jinan. Massive casualties are reported from the area, with fallout spreading in the direction of Japan and Korea. The Chinese Republic is thrown into complete panic due to this attack.
Allied forces now begin offensive operations into Russian central Siberia. Allied forces attack the major cities of Novosibirsk and Omsk, key hubs of the Trans-Siberian railway. Russian forces fight hard, but are eventually pushed back.
Back in Europe, another monumental event takes place. A German strategic nuclear weapon detonates in the French capital city of Paris. In one flash, the massive city is wiped out, taking with it many French government officials, including the President of France himself and many of his ministers. French General Charles Degaulle immediately takes emergency power of the French state, to help stop the situation from turning into complete chaos.
Next, the Italian city of Venice falls prey to an enemy nuclear device. German bombers, with heavy fighter escort, fly over the city and drop their devastating payload, obliterating the city and all of its inhabitants. Whats worse however is the huge loss of allied military forces that were in the region, preparing to go to the frontlines in Austria. What was once almost 60 divisions of troops is reduced to only a handful of devastated and scattered units, rendered completely combat ineffective.
At sea, the German navy begins its final stand against the allied forces. German warships are being ordered out to sea, regardless of the danger, with their goal of simply destroying as many allied ships as possible before being sunk themselves. In this particular engagement, the German fleet loses one of its carriers, in exchange for the loss of an American Enterprise class nuclear aircraft carrier.
The Germans continue their nuclear onslaught, dropping another thermonuclear weapon on the city of Bologna. Huge casualties are reported from the area, with the biggest blow being the spreading of nuclear fallout over the Adriatic sea and into the Balkans.
Germany must be stopped. Allied forces at the frontlines are ordered to advance into Germany, regardless of casualties. Joint Allied Command has decided that it cannot risk completely obliterating the German state with a massive counterattack, a human toll that would be just too much to bear. Instead, allied forces will seize control of Germany's cities and airbases, to get them to finally stop firing their nukes.
Another nuclear detonation, this time, in the major chinese city of Chengdu. Fallout spreads from the annihilated city and spreads all over central China, causing immense panic. By now, the Chinese government is having trouble trying to maintain civil cohesion as huge columns of refugees flee into the countryside from all of China's major cities.
In an unusual move, the Germans drop another nuclear weapon on the North African city of Constantine. Although at first looking harmless, this detonation results in the spreading of radioactive fallout towards Sicily and the eastern Mediterranean. To the horror of Joint Allied Command, it seems that Germany is dropping its nuclear weapons not to inflict immediate casualties from the explosions, but rather to spread radioactive fallout to as much territory as possible through natural atmospheric wind currents. If so, then this could mean very tough times for millions of people all over the world, should these attacks keep going.
Another suicidal sortie by the German navy takes place off the coast of Britain. In this engagement, the German fleet suffers extensive damage, but is able to destroy another American carrier for the loss of one of its own.

German warships are being ordered out to sea, regardless of the danger, with their goal of simply destroying as many allied ships as possible before being sunk themselves. In this particular engagement, the German fleet loses one of its carriers, in exchange for the loss of an American Enterprise class nuclear aircraft carrier.
The Germans continue their nuclear onslaught, dropping another thermonuclear weapon on the city of Bologna. Huge casualties are reported from the area, with the biggest blow being the spreading of nuclear fallout over the Adriatic sea and into the Balkans.
Germany must be stopped. Allied forces at the frontlines are ordered to advance into Germany, regardless of casualties. Joint Allied Command has decided that it cannot risk completely obliterating the German state with a massive counterattack, a human toll that would be just too much to bear. Instead, allied forces will seize control of Germany's cities and airbases, to get them to finally stop firing their nukes.
Another nuclear detonation, this time, in the major chinese city of Chengdu. Fallout spreads from the annihilated city and spreads all over central China, causing immense panic. By now, the Chinese government is having trouble trying to maintain civil cohesion as huge columns of refugees flee into the countryside from all of China's major cities.
In an unusual move, the Germans drop another nuclear weapon on the North African city of Constantine. Although at first looking harmless, this detonation results in the spreading of radioactive fallout towards Sicily and the eastern Mediterranean. To the horror of Joint Allied Command, it seems that Germany is dropping its nuclear weapons not to inflict immediate casualties from the explosions, but rather to spread radioactive fallout to as much territory as possible through natural atmospheric wind currents. If so, then this could mean very tough times for millions of people all over the world, should these attacks keep going.
Another suicidal sortie by the German navy takes place off the coast of Britain. In this engagement, the German fleet suffers extensive damage, but is able to destroy another American carrier for the loss of one of its own.

What the hell are you waiting for? Reducing Germany and Russia to rubble is but a few ICBMs away.
