The Ritterorden (the order of knights) is the group that planned and executed operation Valkyrie. It included men such as The strategic genius Erwin Rommel (who was appointed commander of the Warmacht after the operation), and had been laying the ground work for such a regime chance since 1940, in response to the astoundingly foolish decisions made by the Nazi regime and Adolph Hitler himself (such as the mistreatment of the jews and the slavs, which deprived the Riech of great Scientific, industrial, and military manpower). The inter-service conflict and personal selfishness that had previously kept the Axis from from taking full advantage of it's scientific and mystical advances were brutally and thoroughly purged. They have managed to mobilize far more manpower from occupied Europe than the regime before them ever could have, and have been recently able to secure the active support of Fascist spain.
The Allies:
The Allies, led by the United States of America with its great
fleets and air armadas, wield power over the vast majority
of the globe. Though the Axis has driven the Allies out of
mainland Europe more than once, it has never succeeded
in eradicating their great armouries across the seas in the
British Isles and the Americas. The great industrial heartland
of America works night and day building ships, planes,
tanks, guns, and munitions to feed the war. The British
Commonwealth raises endless divisions to fight its battles,
transporting hundreds of thousands of men all over the globe.
The Allied war effort rests upon a knife-edge, reliant on their
current naval supremacy. Great Britain requires constant
convoys of ships bearing food and raw materials to sustain
her – convoys that must run the perilous U-boat blockade. If the ever-present Axis U-boats start sinking Allied ships more quickly than they can be replaced, the Allied cause
will be lost. The Allies have put a great deal of emphasis on developing their air power in order to mitigate their
dependence on sea transportation. Allied raids on Germany
have escalated steadily over the years, but Axis anti-air
defences have strengthened with them.
Warfronts:
The European Theatre of war has devolved into a bloody battle of attrition since the disaster at D-day. The Allies have air superiority, and blatant advantages in manpower and production capacity, but the Axis has heavily fortified Europe, possessing both excellent troops and advanced equipment; Allied forces are currently fighting in the campania region of southern italy, attempting to take Rome, the centre of German controlled Italy....Their advance has been slow, and rather bloody. In light of this, Allied General fighting in italy have hesitated to move on Rome itself, fearing that the German supported fascist Italian troops could turn in into a Mediterranean Stalingrad.

The Ubermench of the Axis are great propagaganda figures, their exploits, their lives, immortalized in the Axis news machine....That is, except for one; The Black Sun. He is on no posters, he makes no public appearences, commands no troops, and wears a uniqe uniform (his helmet and gasmask are engraved with letters that match no known language) that shows no rank or affiliation with any known unit of the Axis Millitary. From the interrogation of captured prisoners, Allied intelligence knows that he exists completely outside of the Axis Command structure, answering only to The Fuhrer himself, and that nobody but him has seen his face, heard his voice, or knows his real name. He has annihilated entire brigades, and forced divisions to flee, the survivors of which speak of Darkness, fire, and sanity shattering fear.
Sturmbannführer Vertilgung (Major Destruction)
Code name: Sturbannfuhrer Vertilgung (Major Destruction)
Real Name: Magnus Magnusson
Age: Mid 30s
Rank: Sturmbanfuhrer (Major)
Current Location: France "encouraging" vichy troops to stay loyal to the Axis.
One of the first swedish recruits to the Waffen SS (wiking division), Magnus was mortally wounded early in his career by a bomb planted by Swedish anti-fascists. He was unethically and cruelly expeirmented on for years, his wretched form used as a testing ground for everything from organ replacement to brainwashing. After Valkyrie, he was, as part of an exaustive review of all the projects if the SS, freed. The New fuhrer took it upon himself personally to see to it that Magnus's mind would be, as much as possible put back togather. Now Fully recovered, Magnus, Major Destruction, rips apart man, beast, and tank with equal ferocity, for their is no one who would stand in the way of his fuhrer, nay, his god who he would suffer to live for one more moment.
