 Political party

## Child of Ostland

Rosenberg was born in the Governorate of Estonia, Russia to a farmily of mixed Balt German and local ethnicities. He studied engineering and architecture first at Riga and then PhD in Moscow. Took up teaching during the German occupation ot the Baltic and remained in that profession after the United Baltic Duchy is established. He remained involving in guild activities and right-wing intellectual circles, publishing for a local Pan-German Association periodical and participating in Ducal politics, as well as having connections with Russian right-wing circles like those led by the late Colonel Vinberg and the predecessors of the revived Russian People's Union, although regardless he never took on the stage of politics and remained much a think tank worker.

## The Russian Truth

As with many Baltic German, Rosenberg did not fear the Second Great War for the victory ectar of the first war is still on the lip of many and as even as he became politically active after the Russian revolution, Rosenberg is still more oblivious to the development of the world than many of his peers, preferring to spend more time on his profession as a literacy critic and architect.

Hoping that Germany would reconquer the Baltic again, many did not flee originally when the Russian Army first reached Estonia. The war situation gave hope to this as the German Army held on to Lithuania in a meat grinder against the Russian for several years. Many Baltic German were detained during the course of the war, although official policy does not classify official discrimination, regardless the Russian war time policy means that a large number of Baltic German population were deported to facilities within Great Russia for construction projects along with many other conquered military PoW of Germany's Eastern allies. Rosenberg himself got deported to construction works for the White Sea-Baltic Canal, although with his academical qualification, Rosenberg was among those chose to participate in the management and design of the project. He was not alone as large number of Baltic German collaborated in the Russian prison camps as it provides better living and food accommodation. As Lithuania finally got overran in 1945, the final armies of the Duchy with their German brothers fought the decisive battle of the Memel Line, in which the Russian 1st Baltic Front under Marshal Levitov entered Prussia proper and a general rout occurred in the Ducal forces. This was a defining moment in the view of Rosenberg and many of his Ostlanders in the victory of Germany, now that it seems impossible. Rosenberg became depressed for months, the failue of Germany destroyed his world view. During the final year of the war, Russia saw the need to push for peace as soon as possible before the Western forces could reach too deep into Germany, Russian General Staffs do not believe they could defeat the resisting German Army of still milllion strong and ready to die for German soil proper and prevent Western forces from reaching at least the Vistula, a situation untendable with the Polish Army as well.

During those times, reconciliation propaganda was put to the highest priority in order to convey the feeling of the Eastern Coalition, the Front Intelligence Directorate selected a number of German collaborators for these work, Captain Abakumov specially picked out Rosenberg as someone who has extensive history with Russia tracing back from the time pre-Revolution and interwar, with him being one of the first people to help organise German businesses to participate in Russia. During this time, Rosenberg became deeply convinced that the failure of Germany is because it have succumbed to the liberal and democratic degeneracy during the interwar and Russia, who from the shame and humiliation of defeat returned upon its warrior and knightly past to call upon the earth a new martial courage of the national life that enable her to conquer once more. Rosenberg saw the defeat, inevitable of Germany now a new chance, to cleanse its society and rebuild, to rediscover the ancient national martial courage that once led it to glory in 1918 and 1872, only when the German society find itself once more can it fulfil its national destiny.

## After the War

Alfred Rosenberg returned to Estonia after the war, but following his new political conviction and idea, moved to Prussia proper and started a political group called the Reconstruction Association, following his ideology of clean German of degeneracy and reborn it. The GRU was particularly interested in the group, reports of the intelligence department of the Free German Army and the Polish stated that there are believable connections that the GRU funded or via proxies funded Rosenberg's AV.

### German Order

During the period of the First Polish War for Silesia, many bands of German volunteers were organised out of demobilised soliders, due to the army incapacity to provide payment and hunger, the prospect of some form of works called many from the Westheer to combat again, Rosenberg's organisation sponsored the creation of a freikorps in Silesia pulled from volunteers of the disbanded Bavarian 9th Infantry which adopted the name the Lutzow Brigade, after the war, they became a permanent paramilitary forces of the AV, adopting the name the German Order, as with the old Kornilov Regiments, from blood and heroic deeds revived the ancient martial race of Russia, so too will the German Order, mimicking the warrior order will revive the German race via honour in combat.
