Madrid 1939

**Madrid 1939** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps 2*.

## Briefings

Welcome to Guadalajara, Herr General. Some of your Condor Legion compatriots were good enough to secure it ahead of schedule, putting us in a prime position to begin final negotiations with the remaining Republican forces.

Before you continue, Capitana, some important news just came in. You better have a look at this.

*Oberleutnant Wagner hands Capitana Vega a communique, which she pauses to read.*

Dios mio! How foolish, so utterly and stupidly foolish! What are they thinking?!

Would you prefer I explain to our General...?

My apologies, my German friends. I am simply stunned, but I guess perhaps I should not be. It was their foolishness that forced us to persue this civil war, so of course it would end on an equally ludicrous note.

Herr General, the Communist factions of Madrid have revolted. They've turned on the Republican forces and open hostilities are breaking out across the city. It's a civil war within the civil war!

Capitana, you still haven't finished reading the communique...

*Capitana Vega glances back to the communique for a moment. Her eyes widen in shock.*

Generalissimo Franco has rejected all negotiations and demands nothing less than unconditional surrender! This is outrageous! This war should be over, not spiraling out of control!

*Capitana Vega storms out of the briefing room.*

Mein General, I have a bad feeling we won't be seeing the Capitana again... but as she noted, the Generalissimo demands nothing less than unconditional surrender. Which means we're going into Madrid ourselves.

**Primary Objective: Secure Madrid by capturing all Victory Hexes.**

**Primary Objective: Destroy all Spanish Republican Forces.**

**Primary Objective: Destroy all Spanish Communist Forces.**

With the remaining Republican and Communist forces actively fighting each other, our job to secure Madrid should become much easier.

I recommend we advance directly into the city, but do so with some caution. There are scant few forces left outside of Madrid, and we should not give either side a chance to recover from their infighting.

But we should definitely avoid being caught in the Republican and Communist crossfire.

While the Republicans no longer have access to an air force, the Communists will still challenge us in the skies, albeit weakly.

I'll make arrangement for all Nationalist infantry forces to fall under our direct control for this operation. We'll need much closer coordination with their troops if we are to successfully operate in an urban environment of this size.

To victory... for Spain!

### Debriefing

The war is over, mein General.

With Madrid finally under Nationalist control, the total collapse of the Republican faction is complete. Except for a few pockets of resistance, all Republican territory now belongs to Franco.

The British and French governments have formally recognized the Nationalist government, and recognition from the United States is only a matter of time.

The new Nationalist regime is indebted to Germany for our help. We've already acquired some extremely lucrative trade agreements for materials such as tungsten and iron.

But for us, after three long years of war, we are finally going home.

The plane returning us to Germany is waiting on the tarmac, shall we....

*Hauptmann Wagner is interrupted by a courier handing him a message.*

Oh, it's a letter from Ana Sofia. Should I open it now?

Dear Stefan,

 I fear it is already too late for this letter to reach you, but I feel compelled to try. I don't want my storming out of a briefing to be your last memory of me, because I...
Well I wanted to thank you and General %playername% for your help. Without your skill and professionalism, who knows how many years this war would have dragged on for, or if I would have even survived it. Thank you for your part in finally bringing some measure of peace to my country.
 I don't know how long it will take for things to start to feel normal again, but this morning I heard a sound I had nearly forgotten about. Instead of the distant thunder of cannon fire, I awoke to the sounds of birds singing. I'm not sure why this is so important, or why I'm even telling you this, but it gives me a feeling in my heart that I cannot ignore.

As you probably guessed, my days of military liaison service are at an end. I did hear of your promotion to Hauptmann though, and you have more than earned it. With conflict in Spain finally at an end, I have no interest in the whispers of looming war coming from Europe. But I know that whatever may come, I am certain you and the General will be ready to face any challenge.
 I will pray for your safety each night, it is the least I can do in appreciation. But if you have the time, and are so interested, I would not object to hearing from you again. I will leave a mailing address, if you would like to correspond.
 Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. I wish you every success in your future, whatever that might be or wherever it might take you.

Your Capitana,
 Ana Sofia
