The **Nazi Insurrections**, or The **Nazi Uprising**. was a Major Conflict between The Imperium and The Nazi Underground lasting from as early as 1940 and ending in April 1954. The Conflict was a Series of Smaller Conflicts in separate stages. The Main Battles were fought using Guerrilla Warfare and Counter-Insurgency. The SS Fighters would use The Civilian Populace to hide in and launch ambushes on unsuspecting Imperial Soldiers. The Imperial Soldiers would be terrified of groups of civilians and as such massacres were carried out of Suspected Nazi Civilians.

The Conflict would end in the Largest Devastating Event in History so far. The Nuclear Bombing of Warsaw (Atombombenangriff auf Warschau in German) due to continued Resistance. The Bombing was carried out by revolutionary Imperial Atomic Bombs as a test but as a threat to the World That The Imperium Treats Terrorism with an Iron Fist. However, the bombing would push many polish people away from The Imperium and the pre-existing polish separatist group , separated into two and each group exploded in members.

## Initial Uprisings

In 1940, during the Imperiumist Takeover in which the New Imperial Army battled Hard-line Nazis to seize power of Germany in the name of The Emperor of The Imperium, Many Waffen-SS and Allgemeine-SS Garrisons in Major Cities in Germany and Occupied Poland Rose up and Seized Control of Cities from the Wehrmacht Forces. These Major Cities were Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Munich, Warsaw, Danzig, Lodz and Krakow. After the Fall of Berlin and Establishment of The Imperium, these Cities became essentially self-governing, Nazi City States commanded by the SS Garrisons who raised up Nazi Militia and their rule was very brutal on the occupied. Heinrich Himmler managed to survive the Takeover and as the most Senior Leading Nazi in Germany, he established the Nazi Underground, a secret network of Nazi Fighters, Loyalists and SS Garrisons to organise a resistance against the Imperium. Munich became the De-Facto Capital of the Nazi Underground and Stuttgart and Nuremberg were heavily fortified. Southern Germany had become a Fortress to protect Munich and Nazism. The Polish SS Cities also came under the Nazi Underground with Warsaw becoming the "Östliches Widerstandskapital" or Eastern Resistance Capital. The Nazi Underground supplied the Eastern Resistance and Southern German Resistance via secret supply lines. The Newly Formed Imperial Army could do little to stop these resistance movements and just ignored them to fight in Italy. After The War in Italy was over and The Imperial Army had finally found their feet, they began the First Battle.

## Conquer of the South

### Battle for Stuttgart

The Battle for Stuttgart was the opening Battle of The Nazi Purges and started a series of conquests and occupations followed by resistance. The Siege of Stuttgart began on the 18th November 1941 and ended on 30th November 1941. The Imperial 2nd and 3rd Guard Divisions led by Model arrived at Stuttgart and ordered a Surrender of The SS Garrison. The Garrison refused and a Siege began. The 3rd opened Artillery fire on the SS Wall Defences manned by little over 3,000 Waffen-SS Soldiers and 1,000 Militia. The 2nd Charged the Wall and overwhelmed the Defenders in Brutal Hand-to-Hand Combat. The 3rd also charged in once the 2nd had engaged in CQB. The SS had to fall back to inner defences or go underground and hide. Whilst this was happening, The SS Commandant of Stuttgart was frantically asking for reinforcements from Nuremberg or Munich. These were refused as more men were needed to defend Nuremberg and eventually Munich should they break through. A Critical Mistake from Nazi High Command. The Imperial Guards flooded the City. A Large force of SS and Militia Soldiers had fortified the City Hall and refused a Surrender. The Imperial Guards then stormed the City Hall and Killed around 1,500 SS and 1,000 Militia Soldiers. The Fall of The City Hall meant the City was now in firm Imperian Hands and The SS and Nazis scattered into the Streets and Alley to wage a Guerrilla War against the Occupiers. The Siege was over by the 30th of November 1942.

Now the problem was holding Stuttgart, The SS and Militia Soldiers were still in Stuttgart, just broken up and in smaller groups. The SS and Nazis began using hidden bases and wore civilian clothes to hide among the crowds. An Insurgency had began. In the late hours on the 4th December 1941, Plain-clothed SS and Nazi Militiamen ambushed a Marching Imperial Patrol using Alleyways and shooting from Buildings. As soon as the patrol realised what had happened and began to return fire, half of their numbers were dead and the Nazis had already fled with minimal losses. This Guerrilla Warfare was extremely uncommon and The Imperial Soldiers had never faced it before. These Ambushes could be carried out anywhere at any time. Soldiers began wondering which civilian in a group of civilians would be an SS Fighter. Luckily, Erwin Rommel had returned to take over of the Nazi Insurrections and developed a new strategy. He used a tactic called Search and Destroy in which Imperial Soldiers would patrol the cities and search for Suspected Nazis and then destroy the threat. This was a good idea on paper until Soldiers began killing civilians. The Soldiers on these Search and Destroy Missions would end up killing Civilians who were not Nazis or Nazi Sympathisers because they couldn't tell. This would be a common theme in The Occupations of Cities but luckily it worked and the people welcomed the Imperial Soldiers as Liberators.

It was a complete accident that an Imperial Patrol stumbled on a SS HQ during a Patrol whilst doing House Searches. The SS Commanders inside were terrified and realised the severity of what had just happened. The Imperial Guards stormed the HQ and executed the Leaders. They had found a map of all SS Bases in Stuttgart and Radio Frequencies used. In the HQ was also the Commander of the Stuttgart Nazi Resistance who was executed on the spot for treason. This discovery was a deciding factor in the Occupation of Stuttgart and The Imperial Forces could now pinpoint Nazi Fighters and raid their bases. The Imperial Forces could also tell when attacks were happening and prevent this. Despite the Civilian Losses of the Tactic, Search and Destroy had worked. Stuttgart had completely fallen to The Imperial Army by the 30th January 1942 after continuous Raids on Nazi Bases forced them to Surrender or Evacuate to another City.

### Battle for Nuremberg

The Battle for Nuremberg was slightly different to The Other Battles of The War. The Fall of Stuttgart so early on was terrifying. What was even worse was now The Imperial Soldiers could march straight to Munich. As such, Himmler ordered extensive defensive measures to protect Nuremberg and ordered Nazi Militias to leave the City and take smaller towns to use as bases to attack incoming Imperial Soldiers and warn them.

However, The Opposition they were facing were severely underestimated. The 30,000 Defenders of Nuremberg would be facing a force of 10,000. One Division. But, this division was the First Imperial Storm Division Commanded by General Felix Steiner ,"The Butcher of Budapest". The 1ISD were a force of Ex-German SS Soldiers formed from the German Exile Army in Italy. The 1ISD is regarded as the Elitist Force in the Imperium. The 1ISD quickly overwhelmed the smaller Towns and left a wake of destruction behind. They then reached Nuremberg on the 9th May 1942. The City was extremely fortified by some 10,000 SS and 15,000 Militia. Without any option of Surrender, The 1ISD immediately began shelling the City and began a Bombardment lasting 10 Days. On the 19th, The First Wave of Elite Stormtroopers charged in. The Wave completely overwhelmed the Wall Defences and The 1ISD Stormtroopers killed anyone in their Path. The Brutality and Ferocity of these Stormtroopers terrified the SS and Militia Forces who fled the City.

This was the 1ISD's Plan. The Fleeing Nazis who reached outside of Nuremberg were met by waves of Machine Gun Fire because the Artillery Shelling had forced the Retreat to only two exits and these exits were being guarded by 2 Battalions of 1ISD Stormtroopers. The Remaining Defenders surrendered on the 30th in fear of being killed and the city fell. A Third of the City was levelled and some 50,000 Civilians had been killed. Over 20,000 SS and Militia had been killed with only around 100-300 Stormtroopers being killed. Due to the Initial Battle, There was no way the Nazis could organise an effective resistance against The 1ISD and instead fled. Some 500 stayed in Nuremberg to try but these were quickly killed off by the 1ISD Storm Troopers. Heinrich Himmler learnt of the Decimation of Nuremberg and was visibly shocked. The Nazi High Command Believed Nuremberg was impenetrable. Thousands of Skilled Soldiers had died and Vital Supplies had been lost. Munich was all that was left in the South but as the Imperial 2nd and 3rd Divisions amassed around Munich. No Attack Came for Months.

## Eastern Counterattack (16th July 1942 - 4th February 1943)

The Nazi Forces in the East had heard of the complete collapse of the South. In order to relieve some pressure, The Strong Eastern Forces began leaving their Cities and Capturing and Controlling the Local Areas using SS Police Forces and Militia Garrisons. The Eastern Resistance controlled a large part of Poland by September and encountered little Imperial Resistance. Then on the 5th November 1942, a Group of SS Fighters staged a Terrorist Attack in Imperia where they killed around 200 Civilians. The Imperian People across Imperia and Poland rose up in defiance of these Terrorists and formed Imperian Militia groups to combat the Nazi and SS Groups. Gradually, The Imperians in Poland took back key parts of the occupation zone and by the 4th February 1943, Most of The Occupied Areas were liberated without the need for Imperial Forces. A Complete Failure for the Nazis.

## Calm Period (4th February 1943 - 19th September 1945)

The Calm Period was a nearly Two Year Period where neither side made any major moves. This was mainly because the Imperium invaded The USSR in 1943 and basically ignored the Nazis for a Period because The Nazis went Silent. Their crushing defeats in Poland and the South meant they had to regain their strength and build up to make another Push. Using The Nazi Underground Network, SS Fighters began positioning themselves in Key Cities in The Imperium. This was a plan to start a large scale uprising in The Imperium at the Same Time. The Second Uprising.

## Second Uprising (20th September 1945 - 19th April 1950)

The Second Uprising was a massive Nazi Uprising in Major Imperian Cities. On the 20th of September 1945, The first wave of Uprisings began in Hamburg, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Dresden and Leipzig. The Uprising was reminiscent of The First Uprising in 1940, over 100,000 SS and Nazi Militiamen used Guerrilla Warfare in The Cities to kick out Imperial Forces. This came as a complete Surprise to The Imperium who thought The Nazi War Effort was Destroyed. On the 7th November, Leipzig fell to the Nazis and on the 14th November, Stuttgart was recaptured by The Nazis. Imperial Army Forces mobilised to combat the Uprising and Sent the 6th Guard Division to Hamburg. Hamburg was a complete Mess and Martial Law had been declared. Nazi Militia had cut off vital supply lines and began executing Civilians in the Streets. Once the Imperial Forces arrived in Hamburg, a Brutal Battle started. The Battle for Hamburg was a colossal mess Friendly Fire, High Civilian Casualties and Destruction would force the 6th Guards to withdraw from Hamburg. A Nazi Victory

Frankfurt also fell on the 6th December 1945 but Dresden managed to hold off the Nazis. Imperial Army Forces were dispatched across The Imperium to guard The Remaining Cities. Then the Second Wave came on the 1st January 1946. This Second Wave would see the worst of the fighting and involved another 100,000 Terrorists. SS Terrorists rose up in Imperia City, Nuremburg, Hanover, Cologne and Weimar. The SS in Imperia City were extremely merciless and executed Imperial Guardsmen in the Streets, beheaded Civilians and destroyed Local Infrastructure. A Large Attack on The Emperor's Palace was luckily countered. The Imperial Army was in a state of Panic. The Imperial Government were in desperate need of assistance. It looked like The Nazi Insurrection would be won by The Nazis and was the closest they came to winning the war. However, The 1st and 2nd Imperial Storm Divisions arrived in Imperia City to quell the Uprising. The ISDs were relentless and liberated the city in Weeks and drove out the Nazis. In Hanover, The SS were beaten back by Civilian Militias. In Nuremberg, The City Fell to The SS who fortified the City again. Cologne and Weimar were able to stop the Nazis and stayed Loyal to The Imperium. By the 10th November 1946, The Second Wave was over

On the 3rd of February 1947, a Third and Final Wave occurred. This Last Ditch Attack would see 50,000 SS Fighters amass on Imperia City and engage in Brutal Street to Street Fighting with the ISDs. The SS Fighters came from the East and were Veterans of The Eastern Counter Attacks. The Civilians of Imperia City witnessed the true extent of The Nazi Insurrections and what the Imperial Soldiers had to fight. The People of The City wanted the War over. So on the 8th June 1947, Imperial Militia Units Rose up in Imperia City and began Executing People Loyal to the Nazis. The Battle for Imperia City would last until April 1950 due to the Defiance of the SS Soldiers. Over 35,500 SS and Nazi Militia died in the Battle and 25,000 Imperial Militia Died along with 2,000 Stormtroopers. The Battle for Imperia would see the end of the Second Uprising. By now, Stuttgart, Nuremberg, Leipzig, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich were under Nazi Occupation. In Poland, The SS still controlled Warsaw, Lodz, Krakow and Danzig. The Imperial Army was on the Backfoot for 5 Years of Horrific Attacks but had now regained their footing

## Grand Imperial Offensive (1950 - 1954)

The Grand Imperial Offensive was the Last Offensive of The Nazi Insurrections. It Involved a Grand Imperial Offensive to Liberate The Cities Under Nazi Control. The Liberation of Nuremberg began on the 17th November 1950 and involved a complete Imperial Victory with The Imperial Soldiers absolutely trampling the Nazis who were now very worn down. There was no effective resistance left in Nuremberg so the Imperial Forces left and went to Stuttgart. On the 1st January 1951, Stuttgart was Sieged and the Nazis destroyed. The Imperial Army had dropped and form of compassion or respect for Civilians and now were set on destroying Nazism. The Offensive was a one-sided massacre for The Nazis. In Nuremberg and Stuttgart alone, 70,000 Militia Fighters were killed. The Imperial Offensive kickstarted again in 1952 with the Second Battle of Hamburg being another Imperial Victory with a complete disregard for life. Frankfurt surrendered on Christmas Day 1952 after a threat to level the city. In 1953, Leipzig, Danzig fell to The Imperial Onslaught. Then on the 12th August 1953, Munich was assaulted by 4 Imperial Storm Divisions. The Battle was fierce and the 50,000 SS and Nazi Militia attempted to repel a Force of over 40,000 Battle-Hardened Stormtroopers. The Battle for Munich is The Imperium's Bloodiest Battle. Over 100,000 Civilians were killed in the Crossfire and 49,000 of the Defenders were executed or Killed in the Fighting. A Force of 1,000 managed to evacuate Himmler and other leading Nazis out of Munich. Himmler was forced to go into Hiding. Southern Imperia was now under Imperial Control again.

The Last Great Battles of the War were fought in Poland. After the Fall of Danzig in Early 1953 and the successes in Late 1953, The People and The Army were eager to get the War over and go back to normal life. So The Battle of Lodz began on the 14th January 1954. It was a hard-fought Battle and at many points in the Battle, it seemed like The Nazis would win. But as with previous Battles The Training and Effectiveness of The Imperial Soldiers decided The Outcome. The Battle of Krakow was very quick and lasted only a week from the 15th Feb to 22nd Of Feb. The on the 4th of March, The Battle for Warsaw began. It was the Last Nazi Stronghold and this was a key factor. The Nazis had held onto Warsaw since 1939 and weren't willing to give it up. Even though the Warsaw Defenders were completely outnumbered by 3 Imperial Guard Divisions, The Defenders managed to Hold on. In Imperia City, Scientists had been working on a new form of energy called Nuclear Energy and in 1950, This Nuclear Energy was found that it could make a very big bomb. The Atom Bomb was born. The Bomb had received some testing in the Sea but was left largely untested on a City. The Bomb would be continued to be worked on and tested and upgraded under The Emperors Orders. In Early 1954, The Bomb was complete. With the Failed Attack of Warsaw in March, The Emperor wanted to use The Atomic Bomb on Warsaw as a show of Force to Nazis and to The World.

Rommel met with the Leading SS General in Warsaw and ordered his surrender. The SS General refused to Surrender and had essentially signed the Death Warrant for around 1 Million Polish Citizens. The Emperor ordered The Nuclear Bombing of Warsaw and on the 1st April 1954, The Bomb was dropped. It killed Around 1 Million Citizens and Nazi Soldiers in The Blast and levelled the City. Then, The Radioactive Cloud fell. The City of Warsaw and the Region around it are still unpassable and abandoned because of The Radioactive Fallout. With the Severity of this Nuclear Bombing, The Loss of The Last Nazi Stronghold and The Absence of Heinrich Himmler, The Remaining Nazi Leaders surrendered on the 5th of April 1954. The Nazi Insurrections were over and The Imperium was now fully intact again.

## Aftermath

The 14 Years of War and Chaos had now calmed down. The Imperian Public looked back on the War and only saw the atrocities of Nazi Control. The Emperor's Will was now firmly in the mind of The Imperian People. The Public was now under the control of The Emperor because of the War, with this, The Emperor can now do anything and The Imperian People will support him 100%. The People have been brainwashed by 14 Years of Conflict and have only seen what the Imperium has told them to see.

As for Nazism, the ideology has been tarnished and used to offend people. The Main Military Force of Nazism in Germany is destroyed and on the Political Field, Nazism is destroyed as well. Heinrich Himmler has survived The Conflict However. This would Lead to a Small Second Rise of Nazism in 1960 which is more Political and less Aggressive. The Nazi Purges have been completed and only a handful of Prominent Nazis remain with most fleeing the Country.

The War has left the Imperium scarred but in the 6 Years after, The Imperium and it's Propaganda Super Machine have forgotten the horrors the Imperium Committed and Only Remember the Nazi Atrocities and Imperial Victories. Anyone who says otherwise is sent to Re-Education Facilities where they are brainwashed into Imperium Ideals again. The Nazi Insurrections have only strengthened The Imperium who have now got Nuclear Capabilities and Heavily Trained Soldiers. The War expanded the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps to 7 Veteran Divisions. The Nazi Insurrections are a Complete Imperian Victory and a Personal Victory for The Emperor with his main rivals now destroyed.

## Oversimplified

The War was largely Fought using Guerrilla Warfare. The Nazi Insurrections have been categorised into 3 Stages.

The Uprising Stage was between 1940- 30th January 1942. It was the Period of the War when the Initial Uprisings Occurred and lasts until the end of the Battle of Stuttgart. The Uprising Stage is where Guerrilla Warfare is used at its most effective point. Guerrilla Warfare was countered in The Battle of Nuremberg and ended the Uprising Stage

The War of Attrition Stage was from 1942 to 19th April 1950. This stage of the war saw some of the most Aggressive Fighting. The Battle of Nuremberg was the first battle in which the Imperium countered Guerrilla Warfare before it could happen despite high civilian deaths. It also Saw a Brief Nazi Eastern Campaign which failed due to Imperial Militia forces. It also saw a Calm Period where the Imperium invades the USSR. And finally the Second Uprising of 1945 to 1950 saw a wave of Nazi Rebellions in Poland and Imperia. The Second Uprising was in 3 stages and the last stage saw a Terrorist Attack which put the Nazis in a bad light in the general public. The War had now fully turned in favour of the Imperium. It would lead to the Grand Offensive Stage.

The Grand Offensive Stage from 1950 to 1954 was a large front line Imperial Offensive to bring a end to the War and liberate the occupied territories. Guerrilla Warfare had now become useless as The Imperial Soldiers now were effective at combating it. The Grand Offensive was a resounding victory for the Imperium and the Imperial Army blitzed through Poland and the Recaptured South Imperia. It would end with the Nuclear Bombing of Warsaw after Nazi defiance to surrender.

After the 3rd Stage, The War would be largely ended and Himmler went underground with rumours he was dead (until he returned in 1959). Nazism as a Military Force was destroyed and the Political Ideology was now forced to appeal to the People and be less aggressive when they return in 1959. The Emperor had managed to completely brainwash the public to believe 100% without a doubt in his will and ideals. By 1960, only a small suppressed part of the population would support the New Nazi Party led by Himmler with a new idea to gain power. Appeal to the People much like how Hitler gained power in the 20s and 30s.
