Rache! the Invasion of France Book: One of the Thousand Year Reich

By Robert Blumetti

Rache! The Defeat of France 1940 is the first book in an alternative history series entitled The Thousand Year Reich. I wanted to explore the reason why Germany failed to win the war in 1940-41. I realized that while Hitler some good decisions he also made some major mistakes that caused Germany the war. In my timeline, scientists from the future abduct Hitler from September 1939 and implant a micro-computer chip in his frontal lobes to program him not to make the mistakes he does in real time history. In this timeline Germany goes to a total war economy in 1939. Hitler does not delay the advance to the English Channel nor lets the British escape across the channel. Hitler does not cancel the jet fighter project in 1940 and prevents Mussolini from attacking France. These are just a few of the changes that takes place in this alternate history. For Hitler to make such changes I had to create a "different" Hitler from the one that existed.

1. Introduction

In college I majored in history.  I was especially interested in Western history from 1789 to 1945. It always fascinated me how easily the course of history could have been changed if people had made different decisions. Examining such events I realized that certain outcomes could actually have happened.  But other could not have turned differently.  Therefore, I decided that such turning points fall into two different categories: those that could have happened, and those that could not.  The former are factorial, while the latter are fantasy.  An example would be the attempt assassination of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Joe Zangara an Italian immigrant and naturalized United States citizen who attempted to assassinate then-President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 15, 1933, seventeen days before Roosevelt's inauguration.  If had pulled the trigger of his gun one second sooner, he could have killed FDR.  But there are events that probably would never have turned out differently.  In my series of books on alternative history of World War Two, history turns out very, very differently, because Hitler makes different decisions. 

One of the main reasons for Germany failing to defeat the Soviet Union was the inhumane treatment of the Soviet people.  They remembered how well behavior the Germans were in 1918, when Germany defeated Russian the First World War and set up independent nation states.  The Soviet people, including Jews, welcomed the Germans in 1941 as liberators, only to be shocked by the brutal treatment they received at the hands of the Nazis.  I do believe the Soviet Union would have collapsed in 1941 if Germany had treated the people of the Soviet Union humanely had conducted an aggressive campaign to encourage the Soviet people to rise up against their Communist masters. But Hitler was Hitler.  He considered most of the people in the East, especially Jews and Slavs as subhuman.  This hatred was so ingrain in his psyche that he could not have acted differently. Therefore, because of who Hitler was, and the change of events throughout his life that made him what he had become, he would never have made the decisions in my books.  He would have had to been a very different person.  Therefore, I had to create an outlandishly reason for Hitler not making the disastrous decisions he made throughout 1940 and 1941.   Therefore I had to apply a mechanism to create a very different Hitler by combining science fiction with alternative history.  Scientists from the future kidnap Hitler and reprogram him not to make the series of disastrous decisions that he made in the real timeline, both military and political, that would doom any chance of Germany winning the Second World War.

The reason for writing my series of books is not to rehabilitate Hitler, but to explore the possibility of whether or not Germany could have won the Second World War.  My conclusion is that Germany’s successes in the beginning of the war and its eventual defeat were the result of one man–Adolf Hitler.  In the early years of the war Hitler was willing to think outside the box, to use a modern term.  He challenged the traditional strategic thinking of the OKW generals by adopting the radical organization of tanks into armored divisions and was willing to scrap the von Schlieffen Plan, and attack the West through the Ardennes.  But Hitler also displayed last minute jitters, over and over and would hold up the rapid advancement of his panzers.  The second reason for Germany’s eventual loss of the war was National Socialist ideology and racialist theories.

For those who think I am making Hitler look human, well, despite all the political correctness, Hitler was human.  He was also a creature of the times he lived in, which were shared with the likes of Josef Stalin, Mao, Lenin, and others who were all very brutal and greater mass murderers then he was.  Most of the men who led their nations during the Second World War were soldiers during the First World War, or held positions of leadership.  That war was one of mass murder on a grand scale, even greater than that of the Second, at least for the soldiers, if not for civilians.  Men stood at their post in the trenches for months at a time while hundreds of thousands of their comrades were being killed all around them.  They lived in the filth, gore and blood, amidst the dead until life became meaningless.  The conditions of the Great War transformed the way people valued life.  Life became meaningless and cheapened.  Men were conditioned to understand that one accomplished something through the most ruthless and brutal means possible, even if it meant murder.  When the war ended, these soldiers returned home to tried and return to a normal life.  Many could not readjust to the peaceful world of civilian life, especially if civilian life was not peaceful.  This situation was exasperated especially in the defeated countries where they returned to a world of economic chaos, political unrest, revolution and counter-revolution and even civil war.  Throughout central and eastern Europe, from the Rhine to the Volga, Europe continued to be drenched in blood and violence for several more years, and in the case of the Soviet Union, for decades.  It was out of this womb of brutality and mass murder that the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini and even Churchill and Roosevelt were born.

One perspective of the Second World War that most readers might disagree with me that during the Second World War, no one wore white hats.  The leaders of both sides of this conflict were capable of and did make decisions that resulted in brutal and inhumane treatment of opposing armies as well as civilian populations. Even Roosevelt and Churchill thought nothing about waging war against civilians. Churchill ordered the British troops defending Singapore to fight to the last man against the attacking Japanese.  How is that different from Hitler ordering the Germans to fight to the last man in Stalingrad?  Roosevelt tried over and over to pressure Germany into declaring war on the United States by ordering U.S. ships to assist the British in attacking German U-boats.  Stalin attacked the Japanese (whom he signed a neutrality treaty with) after the U.S. dropped the A-bomb on Japan.  How is that different from Mussolini’s attack on the French after the Germans had all but crushed France?  Truly, there were no good guys or bad guys in the Second World War.  Churchill ordered the mass bombing of residential neighborhoods in Germany to exterminate the worker populations, which was made up mostly of woman, children and the elderly, because the Germans were rebuilding their factories as fast as they were destroyed. Roosevelt did the same, when ordered the fire-bombing of Japanese residential neighborhoods. Stalin ordered millions of his own soldiers into combat without weapons.  He arrested, enslaved and killed whole families of Soviet soldiers who surrendered to the Germans.  Twenty-seven million Soviet soldiers died in the Second World War, mostly due to Stalin’s ridiculous orders to make vain-glorious attacks.  The Germans might have lost 200,000 soldiers in the entire Operation Blue (the attack on Stalingrad and the Caucasus) but the Soviets lost about 1.2 million.  How can we say we, the Allies, were the good guys with the likes of Josef Stalin within our ranks, not to mention Churchill and Roosevelt?  There were no good guys and bad guys in World War Two--only victors and losers.

I wanted to examine how the Germans lost the Second World War, and that it was due to Hitler’s military incompetence during the first year of the war.  Despite Hitler’s willingness to think outside the box, Germany lost the Second World War for two reasons: first, Hitler’s military incompetence and secondly; the foolish brutal racialism of National Socialist ideology.  In the first instance, though Hitler was foresighted enough to see the validity in Manstein’s plan for the invasion of the West through the Ardennes, but he quickly got cold feet and demonstrated his lack of backbone during the invasion of the West.  He kept calling a halt to the panzer spearheads, causing the delay of the German forces from reaching the English Channel and eventually taking Dunkerque, thus, permitting the British to escape to England.  Fearing the Allies would cut off the advancing panzer spearheads he listened to Rundstedt’s warning and several times delayed their advance, which caused Guardian to lose a full day.  Hitler again called a two day delay in attacking Dunkerque, permitting the English to escape.  He not only lacked a thorough understanding of military tactics, but also strategic thinking. This caused him to fail to form a joint German-Italian military command, like the one formed between the United States and the British Empire. This was further exasperated by his refusal to co-ordinate German strategy with Italy, ignoring the importance of the Mediterranean theater, and permitting the Italian forces, which were unprepared for war, to be routed by the British. His mistakes resulted in a disaster in the Mediterranean.  

This lack of understanding of military strategy will be furthered explored in these books, by demonstrating what might have happened if Hitler had listened to his generals and made Moscow the primary objective of Operation Barbarossa.  As I mentioned already ,there was a very good chance the Soviet Union would have been defeated before the winter if Hitler had not unleashed the brutal racist policy of treating the Soviet peoples as inferior sub-humans, turning potential allies into dedicated enemies. Even the Russian people engaged in many acts of rebellion and resistance, even in Moscow in October 1941, when it was thought the Moscow would fall to the Germans.

I want to remind the reader that these books are a combination of alternative history and science fiction.  The Hitler in my book has been altered and re-programed by scientists from the future to not make the mistakes that the Hitler of the real time line did.  I used this technique to create a Hitler that acts in such a way as to expose the mistakes based on his foolish theories of race and Social Darwinism that dominated much of the thinking of his time.

In future books I hope to examine how the Germans could have achieved a quick victory over the Soviet Union if they had not implemented their racialist theories. There is no reason why the German troops could not have conducted a campaign as liberators as they blitzed through the Baltic nations, the Ukraine and even in the Russian heartland.  The peoples of the Soviet Union were sick and disgusted with Communism and the brutality, mass murder and slavery that characterize the Leninist-Stalinist state.  Hitler was right when he said that all they had to do was kick in the door and the whole rotten house that was the Soviet Union would collapse.  Unfortunately for all those who suffered at the hands of the Soviet and Nazi war machines, including the millions of Germans at the end of the war, he wound up kicking himself in the butt and thus lost the war.

2. Nightmares

Movement in the bedroom woke him from a sound sleep. His eyes opened but he didn’t move. The room was dark, with only the star light through the window to temper it. He was sleeping on his left side, with his left arm tucked under two large pillows. A blanket and down comforter pulled up and over his head. He listened and heard the sound again. Blondi? Is that you, girl? He called to his German Shepard who always slept in the corner of the room where her own bed was located. Is that you, Blondi? he repeated, but he heard nothing. He listened for a couple of seconds, and was about to close his eyes and go back to sleep, when he heard his dog whimper.

Blondi, what is it? He pulled the covers off him and was about to investigate what was troubling his dog, when the darkness of the room disappeared in a flashing white light.

My God in heaven! He raised his arms to cover his eyes from the blinding light that flickered as he struggled to make out what was causing the illumination.  He feared a fire had started, but he felt no heat. The light was intense and pure white.  He noticed there was no smoke.  His eyes quickly adjusted to the brightness and saw what looked like a human form.  It was clad in a silver suit of some kind.  Where its face was supposed to be, there was a large, black shiny visor.  It seemed as if it was struggling with a black device that it held in its hand.  He wanted to shout for help, but couldn’t find his voice.  The light continued to flicker, but there didn’t seem to be any source for the light.  It just seemed to appear and disappear, encasing the silvery figure in a phosphorescence halo.  This was followed by an electrical discharge that seemed to race about the figure’s silver suit.  He finally discovered his voice and began shouting for help.

Guards! Guards! Someone is in my room!

The figure backed up a few steps as it continued to fumble with the black box it was holding.

Who are you?  What are you doing here? he shouted at the top of his lungs.

The double doors to his bedroom burst open and two armed guard jumped into the room, as the mysterious figure disappeared in a final burst of light.  The light in the outer hallway invaded the room until one of the guards flicked on the light switch on the wall next to the door.  The other guard moved further into the room and began searching for the intruder.

There!  There!  Check in the corner!  Check behind the cupboard! he began ordering to the guard.

Footsteps could be heard racing down the hallway, as the house came alive in the commotion.

What is it? a beautiful young woman asked, as she entered the room through a side door that led to another bedroom.

Adi.  Dear Adi.  What is it?  Who is there? she tried to calm him down, as she joined him on the bed and cuddled him in her arms.

I saw someone.  Someone was in the room, I tell you, he kept repeating.

Search the entire room! shouted an officer dressed in a black uniform.

We should get out, Adi, the young woman insisted. Let the guards search the room.

She helped him get out of bed as the officer held up his silk bathrobe.  He put it on, but before he left, he stopped and turned around. Where is Blondi? he asked.  The dog wasn’t in her bed.

I found her! one of the guards announced.

The dog was cowering in the corner.  She was terrified and wet herself.

Good Lord!  What happened in here, my Fuehrer? the SS officer asked Adolf Hitler.

3. Back to the Future

The large, deep blue Mercedes rolled down the mountain road, noiselessly and effortlessly.  The auto-hydrogen burning engine was almost soundless.  The huge vehicle represented the height of Western technology.  Only the wealthiest people possessed anything like it.  They were monuments to the European civilization that long ago collapsed under the weight of two billions of people that populated the continent.  The high quality automobile included all the comforts a man of vast wealth and power, as Heinz Kruger could afford.  Herr Kruger never concerned himself about money. He belonged to an exclusive circle of some three thousand families that dominated Europe. In the last one hundred and fifty years they engineered European unification, and transformed the European Union into the number one superpower in the world.  This was accomplished in the Twentieth-first Century, after the Russian Federation joined the EU in 2056.  This unification came about ten years before the United States dissolved into a dozen, warring ethnic enclaves.

Herr Kruger often thought how easily and rapidly the United States degenerated, from the only superpower at the beginning of the Twentieth-first Century, into a balkanized expanse of ethnic and racial conflicts.  The population of the United States exploded in the Twentieth-first Century.  After the last restrictions on immigration were removed, and the United States borders were thrown open, the multitudes of the Third World poured in.  By 2060 there were over six hundred million people in the United States, and the European-Americans were reduced to only a fifth of the population.  When the Chinese challenged the US over control of the Panama Canal, six southwestern states all voted to succeed from the United States and formed the Aztland Republic.  The Mexican majorities in these states expelled or killed all non-Hispanics.  The new Aztland government declared the crisis with China an Anglo problem.  The United States government was too weak from internal divisions, due to its ethnic diversity, to oppose the succession of the Southwest.  Within the next thirty years other ethnic enclaves declared their independence until finally, the United States disintegrated into several dozen warring states.  Canada soon suffered the same fate.  Race wars among competing groups were on such a scale that the atrocities of Rwanda, Bosnia, and Cambodia of the Twentieth Century paled in comparison.

The thought of what happened to the United States and Canada terrified the ruling families of Europe in the late Twentieth-first Century.  Third World immigrants flooded into Europe during the Twentieth and the early Twentieth-first centuries.  Unlike America, Europe never possessed an immigration heritage.  Europeans at first resisted the arrival of Third World peoples.  But, an alliance of socialists with dreams of an egalitarian paradise, and trans-nationalist corporations, seeking cheap labor, eliminated all restrictions on immigration, permitting the entry of millions of Third World immigrates into Europe to replace the dwindling European nationalities, due to low birth rates.  The European super-state lacked a constitution, or a Bill of Rights, similar to the United States.  There was nothing to hinder the ruling establishment from creating a totalitarian state to maintain order.  As racial and ethnic conflicts increased in Europe, an oligarchy of about three thousand European families soon grew and controlled this totalitarian super state.

The large Mercedes passed into a suburb of Bern. Herr Kruger looked out of the tinted window.  The scene of his thousand acres estate still populated by Europeans who maintained the Kruger estate, disappeared.  The Swiss landscape soon changed into a sprawl of poverty-stricken villages, filled with dark faces of different hues belonging to East Asians, Africans, Moslems, Hindus and limitless, nondescript mixtures, resulting from intermarriages over the last one hundred years.  The once perfectly manicured fields and columns of trees that lined the well-kept avenues of Europe were replaced by tumbledown homes, pocked with decaying walls and broken windows, shutters hanging askew, with goats and chicken running loose among the debris and endless numbers of vagabond children with dirty faces, eating whatever garbage they could find.

Hardly any white faces could be seen.  The European population was restricted to small pockets in such places as northern Scotland, the forests of Scandinavia, the mountainous regions of the Balkans and in the northern areas of Russia.  The only Europeans that could be found throughout the rest of Europe were on the estates of the wealthy families that still ran the continent.

Herr Kruger looked away.  His face froze, steel-like in hatred for the reality of the Twentieth-second Century.  He hated his class for permitting this to happen to Europe.  He had warned the others of the impending danger that Europe faced, but they didn’t listen.  He was a young man back then, and the leaders of Europe Union laughed at him when he talked about blood, heritage and family.  All they cared about was wealth - the almighty Euro.  He thought to himself how wrong the old saying was. Power doesn’t corrupt, and absolute power doesn’t corrupt absolutely.  Oh no.  It was not power, but wealth that corrupts and overwhelming wealth corrupts overwhelmingly.  It especially corrupts power and those who weld it, just as it corrupted the ruling classes of Europe.  Herr Kruger continued to think back when he was a young man.  He thought of his wife and children, and the prospect for a better future he once hoped for them.  Oh yes.  He had dreamed, but all his dreams had turned into one terrible nightmare, a nightmare from which he could not awake--the nightmare of the Europe of 2123. 

All he wanted now was to put a stake through the heart of this nightmare world.  He dreamed of putting an end to this horrible reality created by greed and stupidly, once and for all.  To undo everything that had happened.  He sought to ease the burning pain.  It especially hurt when his only daughter ran off with a Nigerian doctor, and later, when she beaten to death by her African husband in a fit of rage.  It was as if someone had thrust white-hot irons into his heart.  He refused to recognize the five mixed-blood grandchildren that she brought into the world.  Just as he refused to remember the death of his only son, who was pulled from his automobile in the race riots of 2061 beaten senseless, and burnt to death because of the color of his skin.  Someone had to pay for the alleged crimes of the White race, and his son was unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.  It mattered not to his murderers that has son had devoted his life to assisting immigrants entering Europe.  The only thing that mattered to the mob, when they put the burning auto tire around his neck, was the color of his skin.

Herr Kruger did not cry.  He had no more tears to shed.  He used them all up when his wife died from a broken heart.  That was fifty-five years ago.  A long time ago—a life time ago.  Herr Kruger never remarried.  He was wealthy and powerful, and soon discovered he was not along.  There were others who belonged to the ruling class
