IC: Staatsburg/ Volganov, 1941....
OOC: It is June 22, 1941. The Greater German Reich has just broken the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact by invading the Soviet Union. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin lead their respective nations in this soon-to-be long and bloody conflict. The main settings are Volganov, Byelorussia, and Staatsburg, East Prussia, whose residents, temporary and permanent, will find their lives intersecting.
IC:
Volganov, Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic
Captain Sergei Alexeyevich Bukov of the Red Army's 13th Guards Division was jolted from his nap by a wire at his desk at the Company Command Post. He and his political Commissar, Captain Mikhail Georgiyevich Konstantinov, hurried to answer it. Tensions had been high lately with the Germans, due to reports of Nazi columns massing on the Soviet border. However, Comrade Stalin insisted that such claims were merely rumors and warmongering. He maintained that Germany would never break the pact with Russia.
22 June, 1941, Stop, Wehrmacht and Waffen SS armored units crossing the border, Stop. Luftwaffe squadrons conducting air strikes on the Red Air Force and Red Army, Stop. Prepare for mobilization to defend the Rodina. This is an alert, not a drill, stop. It is real war, stop. Stand in defense of the socialist revolution in Mother Russia, Stop. Signed, Marshal Kliment Voroshilov, People's Commissar for War, Stop.
War indeed. I knew it. We have to prepare for what could have been an easy victory over the Fascists in 1939, with Allied support. Instead, it will be a long and devastating war, since we made a deal that let Hitler crush the West. Now, our only real ally is Great Britain, and what is her chance of survival against the Wehrmacht and the Luftwaffe. The Brits will make a separate peace soon and leave us fighting alone for our lives. Too bad we didn't stand up to Hitler when we had the chance, Bukov thought to himself grimly, as he ordered his zampolit to summon the Company to attention for an official announcement.
