Western States

The **Western States** is a Socialist proto-state which was created by rebels from the Black Communist Rebellion, American Resistance and other organizations during the uprising against the Japanese that took place in 1964.

## Overview

### History

After the rebellion that overthrew the dominion of the Empire of Japan over the Western States, the Japanese announced the evacuation of their population. In turn, the White American civilians formed vigilante mobs that sought to kill the remaining Japanese and collaborator population in retaliation for years of terror. Threatened by Reichsfuhrer John Smith's Operation Fire Cross the Resistance and BCR are forced to bunker down and defend from the incoming invasion. It is unknown what happens to the western states after John Smith's death it's possible that Bill Whitcroft became president and the western states rejoined the restored United States.

### Territory

The territory of the Western States is identical to that of its predecessor.

### Economics and Technology

Because so much critical infrastructure was destroyed during the uprising, the Western United States is a rather poor and underdeveloped state. The economy of the Western States is also weak, as can be seen from the constant instability like Compton CA .

## References

The BCR have possibly caused and inspired uprisings in Asia, Africa and in other colonial areas.
Kempeitai

The ***Kempeitai*** (憲兵隊 Kempeitai, "Military Police Corps") is the military police and secret police branch of the Imperial Japanese Army throughout the Japanese Empire, including the Japanese Pacific States.

## History

The Kenpeitai was formed in 1881. It was inspired by a similar organization in France. As Japanese internationalism and militarism grew through the 1930s the Kempeitai became the official secret police of Japan removing any and all opposition in the Japanese's mainland. The organisation grew so much that it rivalled Hitler's Gestapo. During World War II the Kempeitai operated in all occupied territories removing opposition during Japanese rule, the Kempeitai was also know for its brutality to capture Allied prisoners of war. After the defeat of the United States the Kenpeitai became the effective police force in all occupied nations including the Japanese pacific states, they orchestrated multiple massacres and atrocities against the local population to cement their rule and remove all opposition.

## Organization

Much like within the rest of the Japanese Empire, the Kenpeitai also operates and serves as the primary policing and investigative agency within the Japanese Pacific States. The agency has an office in the Nippon Building, and also operates its own larger headquarters in San Francisco.

Operationally, the organisation is divided into two primary branches. The first is uniformed, who act as uniformed police officers and liaise with regular troops within the Imperial Japanese Army in maintaining public order and law enforcement. The second is the plainclothes division, who carry out deeper investigative, intelligence-gathering and counter-intelligence operations.

Imperial Japanese Army

The **Imperial Japanese Army** is the official ground-based armed force of the Japanese Empire.

## History

Formed in 1868, the Imperial Japanese Army took major inspiration from European militaries and modernisation. In 1873, conscription was enacted across Japan, tripling the army's numbers. The army invaded Taiwan in 1874 and China in 1894. They were forced to withdrawal from China after European nations threatened intervention. The imperial army earned its prestige back when it defeated Russia in the 1904 Russo-Japanese War, in which they took Port Arthur and full control of Korea.

## Appearance & Personality

His reputation is well known to everyone in the neutral zone where he is able to operate unopposed and without restraint since the Neutral Zone remains pretty much a lawless area. He is especially most feared for his cruelty that show to his victims, usually cutting two fingers from the dead bodies as "trophies" and hanging them in open view until the bodies rot or burns them alive. He keeps the people he's hunting on playing cards and memorizes the person he is hunting with every detail.

George Lincoln Rockwell

***Reichsmarschall* George Lincoln Rockwell** was the head of state of Nazi America until Fall 1962. He was the direct superior of SS officer John Smith and Director J. Edgar Hoover of the ARBI. He was personally removed from office by *Reichsführer* Heinrich Himmler of the Greater Nazi Reich after he committed treason against the Reich. He was exiled to Cuba where he was killed by an assassin sent by his successor, *Reichsmarschall* Smith.

## Biography

### Background

Rockwell was born March 9th, 1918 in Bloomington, Illinois. He joined the United States Navy in 1941 and served as a non-combat pilot in World War II. At some point between 1953 and 1960, Rockwell became the *Reichsmarschall* of Nazi America, though the details of his rise to power are unknown. It is suggested that he joined the Luftwaffe after the capitulation of the United States in 1947, as he was shown to wear a Luftwaffe dress uniform upon his promotion to *Reichsmarschall*.

### Season Three

Rockwell had lost the confidence of Nazi officials in Berlin, namely the new *Führer* Heinrich Himmler. His interactions with his underlings were shown to be panicked, uncertain, and highly susceptible to influence. He was heavily reliant on the American Reich Bureau of Investigation director J. Edgar Hoover to gather intelligence on his enemies, particularly *Oberst-Gruppenführer* John Smith, whom he believed to be after his position of *Reichsmarschall*.

Rockwell plotted with Hoover to present proof that Smith was a traitor to Himmler, but Smith made a deal with Hoover beforehand to withhold the evidence. When Rockwell accused Smith of treason in Himmler's presence, but failed to provide any evidence, he effectively committed treason himself, and Himmler removed him from office and appointed Smith his replacement.

The disgraced Rockwell was exiled to Cuba. As a cover story, state media reported that Rockwell had chosen to retire from office and devote his time to managing his Cuban sugar plantations. He started planning his revenge against Smith and return to power, but Smith anticipated Rockwell would not go down quietly and took action first. An assassin sent by Smith infiltrated Rockwell's house and stabbed him to death while he was with two prostitutes.

## Notes & Trivia

* In real life, George Lincoln Rockwell was the founder of one of the first modern day neo-Nazi movements called the "American Nazi Party" in 1959. He served as an aviator in the US Navy from 1941 to 1960, when he was dismissed a year ahead of retirement due to his outspoken racism and politics. Although the Navy gave him an "honorable discharge" for his service record, Rockwell was disgruntled and blamed his removal on the Jews. He was assassinated in 1967 by a former member of his own group who had been expelled for wanting to introduce Marxist ideas into the party's policies.
Lincoln Rockwell International Airport

**Lincoln Rockwell International Airport** is an airport in New York City. It is named after *Reichsmarschall* George Lincoln Rockwell.

## Real life

In our reality, George Lincoln Rockwell was the founder of the American Nazi Party in 1959, and originally served in the United States Navy from 1939 until 1960 as a naval aviator and flight instructor, obtaining the rank of Commander. He was assassinated August 25, 1967 in Arlington, Virginia, and was sometimes known as the "American Hitler". He was of English and Scottish ancestry from his father, and his mother was of German and Acadian French heritage.

The Lincoln Rockwell Airport is the show's equivalent to the real life JFK International Airport. JFK International was originally called New York International when it opened in 1948 in the New York borough of Queens in New York State, and was renamed in 1963 after the Kennedy assassination.

From the brief scenes showing the airport, it appears to resemble Berlin Tempelhof Airport (1923-2008), especially the long overhead canopy that covers the aircraft terminal where the aircraft park to load and unload passengers.

Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service

The **Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service** is the air arm of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Although not directly mentioned in The Man in the High Castle it is likely that it would still exist as aircraft carriers are present in the Imperial Japanese Navy.

## Carrier-based jet aircraft

**Carrier-based jet aircraft** are present on Imperial Japanese Navy carriers and are seen briefly in a couple of shots. They are delta wing aircraft and parts seem to resemble the F3H Demon and the MiG-21 (although this is purely a guess - if anybody has better aircraft knowledge then they can edit this)

## Coaxial rotor helicopters

**Coaxial rotor helicopters** were used by the Imperial Japanese Navy and are seen briefly in a couple of shots. They are near-identical to the real life Kamov Ka-27.

## Propellor Fighter Plane

Seen briefly this is identical to the Mitsubishi A6M Zero. In the show it is blurred, the picture to the right of this text is recovered from a VFX breakdown. The blue stripes indicate that it is part of the **Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service** but due to its blurring it is likely that this was not meant to be seen in great detail although this does confirm propellor fighter planes still remain in use in the 60s. It may also indicate that the **IJNAS** continues to use Zero's although this is unlikely as the only carriers seen in the show carried **Carrier-based jet aircraft**.

## Notes & Trivia

* What seems to be a Zero fighter plane in IJNAS markings is shown in a VFX breakdown although in the show it is blurred. More info in List of Japanese Vehicles and Aircraft.

Bill Whitcroft

***Generaloberst* Bill Whitcroft** is a high ranking member of the Wehrmacht in Nazi America, serving as second in command to *Reichsmarschall*  and later *Reichsführer* John Smith.

He previously served with Smith in the US Army Signal Corps in World War II and is an old friend. He is presumed to be the de facto leader of Nazi America after John Smith dies. Most likely, he will restore the United States to it's pre-war self.

### Background

Whitcroft served alongside John Smith and Daniel Levine during World War II.

After the detonation of the Heisenberg Device in Washington, D.C. in 1946, the three soldiers, alongside Helen and young Thomas Smith, were holed up in Fort Mouth in New Jersey. They were met in the evening by Colonel Mike Holden, who informed them that the United States had officially surrendered to the Greater Nazi Reich, with General George S. Patton having ceded power to Hermann Göring at the West Point Military Academy in New York.

Providing them with food and beverages, Holden informs them that the first men to sign on to the join the new regime would get food and good positions in the Reich. Whitcroft examines a Nazi armband he has been provided, remarking that it is "just a piece of cloth" and that they could potentially "bide their time" with the occupation and eventually strike back. He and John Smith eventually agree to collaborate with the Nazis. However, their friend and colleague Daniel Levine is forced to go on the run due to his Jewish heritage.

### Season Four

Whitcroft is put in charge of the Nazi invasion of the Neutral Zone. After a victory against the American Resistance in Denver, Whitcroft meets *Reichsmarschall* Smith and informed him about the campaign.

After discovering Hoover has gathered evidence to accuse John of disloyalty to the Reich, Whitcroft suggests Smith to assume leadership of America and use the nuclear weapons on American soil as a deterrent to gain independence from Berlin's rule.

After the death of Himmler and Smith's rise to Reichsführer of the independent American Reich, Whitcroft is later tasked with overseeing the Nazi invasion of the former Japanese Pacific States. However, he decides to call off the bombing of San Francisco after being informed of John Smith's death. He then removes his iron cross medal. Most likely, he will restore the United States back to it's pre-war self.

## Appearance & Personality

Unlike his long time friend John Smith, Bill was never committed to Nazism judging by his reaction to Bell Mallory's broadcast before the beginning of Operation Fire Cross.

Collaborators

**Collaborators** are many **loyalists** who worked with the Axis powers, due to the Allied powers losing World War II and did not know what freedom really is after being submitted under Axis rule. Some of them stay loyal to their occupiers out of fear, while others worked with the Axis powers for their own benefits, privileges, and their wealth. These actions results them becoming traitors to their country and their people.

## History

After the Allies lost World War II, due to the atomic bombing of Washington D.C., many American people lost their hope in winning the war against the Axis powers and were forced to submit under the Greater Nazi Reich and the Japanese Empire. Mike Bolden mentions that some of the U.S. Military soldiers will be given good positions in the Reich if they join but if they refuse, they will face the consequences. Because they were under the rule of the Greater Nazi Reich and the Japanese Empire, Many people who are loyal to them don't even know what freedom really means. Many white Americans in the American Reich have become Nazis themselves. Even the New York City Police Department collaborated with the Nazis. Some of the Americans worked for the Japanese intelligence unit of the *Kempeitai*.

When the Kempeitai began executing citizens, many Americans were forced by the Japanese to remove their dead bodies.

Years later, when the Black Communist Rebellion finally gained control of the Western States, the Americans who were presumably collaborators and loyalists to the Japanese Empire, are facing the nightmare of the BCR rule as they sends letters to the Reich headquarters for their pleas for help, while some of them tries to travel on the ships with the Japanese people, but were rejected by the Japanese. Some of them are being smuggled out of the Western States by the Yakuza.

## Biography

### Background

Not much known about Jeremy's pre-war life except that he joined the Rebel American Army after the Germans nuked Washington D.C and the subsequent surrender of the US Government in March 1946. At some point, he met Wyatt Price, an Irish from New York City and they befriended each other. They fought side-by-side until the Nazis crushed the Rebel American Army on September 18th, 1947. After that, Wyatt escaped the Neutral Zone while Jeremy lived undercover in Pennsylvania.

### Season Three

Martin Heusmann

**Martin Heusmann** (? - Fall 1962) was a chief Nazi engineer and former Reichsminister of the Greater Nazi Reich. He was chosen by Adolf Hitler to become Acting Chancellor during Hitler's illness and following his death. Heusmann is the father of Joe Blake through the Lebensborn program. In Season Three, he was executed for treason by his own son.

## Biography

### Early Life

Heusmann was born into a family with a long tradition of military service to Germany, and had ancestors who fought in World War I and the Franco-Prussian War. Judging by his participation in the *Lebensborn* program, by the 1930s he was already a committed Nazi.

Heusmann also devised Atlantropa, a project to dam the Mediterranean Sea at Gibraltar to create new farmlands through the partial evaporation of its waters.

Heusmann is most likely the Minister for Armaments, Industry and Production. Albert Speer held the post until early 1950s and it is heavily implied that he was removed from all state posts due to his reformist ideals.

### Season Two

On a visit to the *Lebensborn* hospital where Joe was born, Heusmann reveals Joe's status as *Lebensborn* and alleges that Joe's mother Elsa had kidnapped him to the United States prior to World War II against Heusmann's will. This shocks Joe and causes him to reconsider his relationship to both his late mother and to Heusmann.

In "Loose Lips", Heusmann is promoted to Acting Chancellor (*amtierender Kanzler*) following Hitler's incapacitation. His selection was done upon Hitler's direct recommendations, and he portrays himself initially to Joe as a reluctant interim leader caught in a web of political intrigue. Later, however, he is revealed to have been the ringleader of the faction responsible for the attempted assassination of the Japanese crown prince and the putsch against Hitler launched by Reinhard Heydrich in Season 1 .

In "Fallout", following Hitler's death, Heusmann presses for war with Japan and plans a massive nuclear strike on simultaneous targets in Japanese territory. He is however unable to put these plans into practice, as he is arrested for high treason and murder by *Reichsführer* Heinrich Himmler after evidence is presented by *Obergruppenführer* John Smith. Himmler then assumed leadership of the Reich.

Heusmann was part of the Heydrich conspiracy that aimed to eliminate Adolf Hitler, assume leadership and provoke a war with the Empire of Japan.

### Season Three

At the start of "Now More Than Ever, We Care About You", Himmler has an imprisoned and recently tortured Joe brought out to see his father, who is in a similar condtition. Joe is then given a pistol and ordered to execute Heussman as a demonstration of his loyalty to the Reich. With his father's consent, Joe complies by shooting him in the head, and is reinstated into the SS, in Fall 1962.

## Appearance & Personality

A natural Nazi, Heussman is a cunning, ambitious and idealistic individual who will use any means necessary to achieve his ends.

## Appearances

 "**History Ends**"*Absent*
Gestapo

The ***Geheime Staatspolizei***, (German: Secret State Police), also referred to simply as the ***Staatspolizei*** and by its abbreviation the **Gestapo** serves as the secret state police of the Greater Nazi Reich. It is also a division of the *Schutzstaffel*.

## History

### Background

The force was created by Hermann Göring in 1933 by amalgamating the various security and law enforcement agencies of the German state of Prussia into one organization, and filling the ranks with members of the Nazi Party.

In 1934 the organization was upgraded from being Prussia-based to the national level and overall control was transferred to the *Schutzstaffel* where it was overseen by then *Reichsführer* Heinrich Himmler.

After the transfer it was considered a sub-office of the *Sicherheitspolizei* (SiPo: Security Police), the blanket name given to the combination of the Gestapo and regular *Kriminalpolizei*.

By 1939 the agency was administered as Department 4 of the newly formed *Reichssicherheitshauptamt* (RSHA: Reich Main Security Office) and became a division of the *Sicherheitsdienst*, the intelligence wing of the SS.

### Season Four

When Amy Smith finds a jazz record belonging to her sister Jennifer Smith and threatens to report her to the authorities, her father *Reichsmarshall* John Smith lies and claims the record is his, as he is holding it as evidence as part of a Gestapo investigation the Schutzstaffel is assisting with.

On the orders of *Reichsmarshall* John Smith, Gestapo agent Martha Stroud is assigned as the personal bodyguard to Helen Smith. Stroud is often accompanied by other male Gestapo agents, but the fact she is a woman allows her to maintain close proximity to Helen Smith without arousing suspicion that she is a police agent.

## Known Members

## Ranks

### Führer

   The Führer, sometimes also known as the Reichsführer, is the political title of the highest leader in the Greater Nazi Reich, who serves as the absolute dictator of the nation.

The first Führer of the Reich was Adolf Hitler, who rose in the 1930's and died in the 1960's. Nazi America was also originally controlled by a lower-ranking official Reichsmarschall, originally by Erwin Rommel, followed by George Lincoln Rockwell and John Smith.

Following the death of Heinrich Himmler at the hands of John Smith and Wilhelm Goertzmann, two Führer's were appointed, as the Reich split into two independent nations: Smith became the Reichsführer **of** Nazi America, while Goertzmann Reichsführer became Reichsführer for Europe.

The Führer's surname is always used in a greeting or salute by all citizens of the Reich, whether civilian or military: "Heil (Surname)!".

List of Führers
* Adolf Hitler (Former)

* Wilhelm Goertzmann (Current European Reichsführer)
* John Smith (Former American Reichsführer)

### Reichsmarschall

    The Reichsmarschall is the highest authority in one of the satellite states of the Greater Nazi Reich, such as Nazi America. While the Reichsmarschall has a lot of power in his state, he still has to obey the Führer stationed in Berlin.

The first Reichsmarschall of Nazi America was Erwin Rommel, who was later replaced by George Lincoln Rockwell. Rockwell was then followed by John Smith, who would then become the sole Führer of Nazi America by Wilhelm Goertzmann, who allowed the state to become an independent nation.

Raeder was killed in Fall of 1962 by Joe Blake on the orders of *Reichsführer* Heinrich Himmler. Himmler had determined that Raeder was a liability to the career of then-*Oberst-Gruppenführer* John Smith, who was being groomed to replace George Lincoln Rockwell as *Reichsmarschall* of Nazi America.

## Biography

During a ride with the Obergruppenführer, John Smith and Erich Raeder get ambushed. Raeder is severely injured in the shooting incident, and offers his gun to Smith when the latter runs out of bullets, an act which saves John Smith's life. Smith can prevent him from suicide and save his life.

John Smith gives him a letter before he goes hunting with Oberst-Gruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich , because he thinks he could get murdered there. The letter is addressed to the Führer Adolf Hitler.

Erich is concealed in the woods outside the hunting cabin where Heydrich reveals his plan to Smith.  Shortly after realizing his plot has been foiled, Heydrich's adjutant is fatally shot by Raeder, giving Smith the opportunity to arrest him.

### Season Two

John Smith gives Erich Raeder the order to collect secret data about the current Reichskanzler Martin Heusmann and Gruppenführer Keller. This is strictly forbidden.

## Notes & Trivia

* A real Erich Raeder (24 April 1876 – 6 November 1960) was a naval leader in Nazi Germany who played a major role in the naval history of World War II. Raeder attained the highest possible naval rank—that of Grand Admiral (Großadmiral)—in 1939, becoming the first person to hold that rank since Alfred von Tirpitz. Raeder led the Kriegsmarine for the first half of the war; he resigned in 1943 after a series of failed operations, especially the Battle of the Barents Sea. Raeder was replaced by Karl Dönitz. After the war he was sentenced to life in prison at the Nuremberg Trials, but was released early due to failing health.
Reichstag

The **Reichstag**is an important government building for the Greater Nazi Reich located in central Berlin. It stands before, and is dwarfed by, the Reich's primary seat of power in the form of the much newer *Volkshalle*, or "People's Hall".  It is also used for congresses.

As in real-life, the Reichstag building notoriously caught fire in early 1933, an act the Nazis would blame on communist agitators, which allowed them to suspend many previous rights and laws. The building was not used during World War II in any governmental capacity, though in our timeline it did serve as a focal point for the Battle of Berlin.

In the alternate timeline, the Reichstag was repaired and refurnished following the war, and presumably began to serve the Reich's government once more, in an albeit overshadowed role.
