The crisis was responsible for kick-starting the Final Conflict. 
== History ==
=== Background ===
Since The War of the Hitlers and the founding of the United Reich in 2014, the United Reich has become a major global power with the most advanced technology on Earth. In fact, the United Reich was so powerful that it had the ability to defeat the Space Nazis and win the inevitable Final Conflict. As a result, Gunsche, who was secretly a double agent working for the Space Nazis and had been trying to destabilize the Downfall Reich within for years, decided it was time to take drastic action to ensure the Space Nazis' victory in the Final Conflict.
=== The Crisis ===
In 2018, Gunsche was ordered by his superior Wolfgang Kortzfleisch to destroy the United Reich's super-weapons, including the Iron Shield, a technological device that was the source of the invincibility of the United Reich's important members. He first caused a massive explosion that leveled an entire sector of the United Reich and destroyed the Iron Shield, rendering everyone in the United Reich vulnerable to death. 
To keep his treachery a secret, he got many officials of the United Reich to accuse one another of being the Enemy Within. Hermann Fegelein was heavily accused of being the Enemy Within due to his large history of antics and became isolated as a result. While this was happening, he continued his treacherous actions and destroyed the powerful Wrath of Hitler Cannon, causing its debris to rain across the United Reich and further devastate its territories, including Berlin, which was renamed New Berlin and rose as technologically advanced city which was supposed to be the new capital in 2020. 
Progress of exposing Gunsche was futile and he proceeded to destroy the Pencil of Doom MK III, but was unable to destroy to RSS Adolf Hitler. During this dark time, Ernst-Robert Grawitz permanently killed himself and his family as he knew what would come to pass after Downfall Hitler refused to listen to him. 
With most of its super-weapons destroyed, the United Reich became solely focused on finding the Enemy Within until Albert Speer discovered that Gunsche was the Enemy Within. He told Downfall Hitler that Gunsche wasn't as dumb as everyone believed him to be and actually was attempting to drive Downfall Hitler into madness with his informing of useless and ridiculous facts or events. After Gunsche's cover was blown and now a wanted fugitive by the United Reich, he was forced to flee back to The Moon and prepare for the Final Conflict.
