Hauptman Vaterland-The story synopsis

Art work: Concept artist/Matte painter -Sourav Dhar

The story is about World war 2 where German have won the war and now even after 30 years they are reigning supreme over Europe but their victory has come with great cost. It was once the proud capital of British Empire, London, had wiped out of existence by a nuclear bomb.

Then comes the Third Reich who had faced great changes during and after the war and it is not the same as it was when Hitler once came to power. Hitler died during the war and the popular Rommel was elected as the new Reichskanzler. Under Rommel’s leadership, the Reich won the war and had an era of peace and prosperity on the cost of the subjugated Europe.

However, Rommels era of peace didn’t last long and now 30 years after the war the Reich is again in great turmoil. After Rommels death riots broke out in whole Europe and Germany had to use all its power to crush them. Consequently, the military began to take over the leadership and a council of generals and important ministers now rules the Reich.

Hitlers once the proud personal bodyguard the SS is now nothing more than a terrorist organization which wants to take over the Reich for themselves. Himmler has even tried to coup against Rommel during the war but failed because the military supported Rommel. However, Intelligence lately suggests that SS is planning something big and the future of the Reich, Europe and maybe the world itself is in great danger.

The Americans have not followed the “Germany First” strategy during the war and instead concentrated on crushing Japan first. They landed on the Japan Mainland and had a long campaign with great losses on both sides but in the end, they defeated the Japanese and conquered much of the Japanese occupied territory in Asia for themselves. During the War General Mc Arthur was the great Hero of the Hour and he was elected as the new President after Roosevelts Death. At the beginning of his Presidency, the People cheered him but with time, he accomplished to push through new laws to eradicate Democracy in the US. Critical minds tell now that the US is not very far away from becoming a Dictatorship like Germany.

The two Superpowers are now in a fragile Cold War and tensions are rising again.

At times readers might think that it sounds very common as per the story is concern but what makes our scenario special is the fact that we have a Superhero. Not a common American Superhero like Superman or Captain America. No our Superhero works for the Third Reich and is called "Hauptmann Vaterland". Hauptmann Vaterland will be the main Protagonist although he works in our scenario not really for the “good guys”.

In the story, we have tried to nurture History to make our readers more realistic and lively. However, we dissociate us from the real life Nazi regime and their crimes.
