Oskar Dirlewanger (26 September 1895) is a German, National Socialist Terrorist who is assumed dead but in fact is in charge of the Terrorist Organisation, The Aryan Caucasian Brigade (AKB). He is a Veteran of the War of Liberation and Nazi Insurrection where he served in Warsaw during the Atomic Bombing.

It is believed he died in the bombing but he managed to survive and escape to the Caucuses where he wages a small and insignificant insurgency against Imperial Police Forces. Due to his Injuries and Scars caused by Radiation Burns, he has the nickname '**The Scarred General**' and his group has the nickname '**The Scar-Men**'. Dirlewanger is hellbent on destroying The Imperium and has been preparing for Himmler's Rise to Power.

## History

Dirlewanger was a former SS-Oberfuhrer in the Waffen SS during the days of The German Reich. He commanded a Unit during the Invasion of Poland in 1939. He was allegedly present at The Siege of Berlin during the Imperiumist Takeover but Dirlewanger was one of Himmler's first SS Generals to continue on the War in the Nazi Insurrections

He would rise to be a leading officer and terrorist commander in the Nazi Underground and would command the **36th Waffen Grenadier Division** also known as the Dirlewanger Brigade.

During the final months of the war, Dirlewanger's unit was incorporated into the 10. Warschauer Verteidigungsbrigade (10th Warsaw Defense Brigade) and would be present during the Nuclear Bombing of Warsaw. Due to his position on the outer wall, Dirlewanger and a portion of his men survived the nuclear explosion but many of them suffered radiation burns and other injuries. Assumed Dead, Dirlewanger led his remaining men to the Caucuses to form the Aryan Caucasian Brigade and continue the resistance.

## In Game Situation

Dirlewanger's identity is unknown to The Imperium who assumes the AKB is commanded by Johanns Durchdenwald, who is Dirlewanger's Second in Command. Dirlewanger is very much alive and is hellbent on the destruction of the Imperium.
He is involved in Himmler's Plot and should Himmler failed to be assassinated or killed and start a Civil War, Dirlewanger will rise up and reveal himself and start a war in The Caucuses. This is highly unlikely to be successful however. If Himmler is killed by the Player, the AKB will crumble into smaller factions via an event and the Player has a decision to end the War with Dirlewanger's death after a raid on AKB HQ where his identity is revealed.

If Himmler peacefully rises to power (through Player Decision), the player can choose to release the AKB or integrate them into the Greater German Reich where Dirlewanger and the AKB commanders become Field Marshalls.
