1945 ended on a bit of a high note for the Germans. The allied offensive in the west petered out due to supply problems caused by outsourcing logistics to Amway. The Soviets stalled in the east once they took Berlin and entered the Distillery District of Schlössed on Schnapps. The Germans were holding the line when 1946 began.
Then on St. Valentine's Day, Hitler finally succumbed to chronic constipation.

Göring and Himmler had already been caught and executed by the allies. Gröss Admiral Dönitz, Generaloberst Jodl and Reichsminister Speer rid themselves of the remaining top Nazis and formed the Flensburg Republic.

Of course, the new country had problems. First off, the name was often mispronounced.

The new Germany held the line until Spring. Finally, with the western allies firing Amway and the Red Army having drained the Distillery District of Schlössed on Schnapps, the juggernaut rolled on. The writing was on the wall. Generaloberst Jodl invited allied representatives to Flensburg and asked for an armistice. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
