Desolation 1945

Chapter Eight:The Fall of the Riech

Edward Stormed towards the east carrying nothing but the clothes on his back and his saber and .44 . He was Tired of the War, tired of fighting, he wished it would just end,He lit a cigar as he stopped a moment next to an abandoned jeep,He looked into it and found its keys.Moments later after many cranks of the engine he got it to start,And away he did drive towards the capital city of Berlin. About Twenty miles from Berlin he pulled into the abandoned GNR radio station in the Berlin subcity of  Bomburg,He got out of the jeep and loaded his .44 Magnum,Preparing for Undead,Russians, or bandits seeking to create mischief,He walked over and sat on a crate after shutting the gate of the compound, and stared up in the endless,starry Sky, He wondered how the SS command was faring without him.He laid back against the cool concrete wall and slowly drifted to sleep....

The next day he awoke to find Luftwaffe Fighters engaging Russian bombers over the capital city, some being shot down with fiery Debris crashing to earth and leaving large craters in the streets,He quickly looked in the small building for radio equipment but found None yet he did find a small stash of .44 Magnum Ammunition,Filling him with happiness.    "Now vy would they attack mien Capitol ven Ze Army is in Hamburg!  Zis troubles me deeply....." Said the fuhrer to himself as he strode to his jeep.

                                         ~SOME TIME LATER, AS EDWARD DROVE INTO BERLIN~

As the low rumble of explosions echoed above him,Edward drove his jeep into an underground parking lot somewhat away from The main fighting,He pulled his Shotgun and a Small rucksack from the backseat and walked topside. Upon reaching the surface,He saw the face of chaos..The Infected were STILL everywhere in Berlin..Then Something lit his eyes up..Was it?...oh no it cant be... How would good luck come to him Now? "I Cannot believe zis.."He looked up to see a Gestapo Cop car,Smeared with blood,Windshield Destroyed, but it had a radio which was crackling with excitement about spotting a German Officer in the Downtown District.."Priority Override...Direct Contact request the War Ministry...ID Number  Seven Five Niner..Oh..Six.Seven Seven Eight dash Four two........Yes...This is Fuhrer Ricthofen..."Spoke the German into the Mic,As he looked around wildly for Infected getting close.. After a Comms officer told him he Needed to Reach the Riechstag for pickup..He set off down the Unter Der Linden Towards the Riechstag He stopped for a moment and Lit a Cigar,While Leaning against an abandoned truck. He sighed and Rested a few moments,Thinking of his journey from Wiemar to Berlin. After his thoughts the German shouldered his Shogun and walked in the direction of the Riechstag...upon reaching the ministry of finance Edward turned...Looking down the branch of an easternmost street that led away from the Unter Der Linden.In his path was an Infected horde...Snarling,Growling and Hostile creatures who began shuffling towards him as soon as he muttered a curse in his native tongue. "FUCKING HELL!"Screamed the German as he sprinted down the avenue and towards a Tiger III,He Began firing at the Zombies getting close,Quickly Running out of ammunition,He kicked away a Zombie behind him and pried open the turret hatch and buttoned it down inside the Tank. After a few moments he stared into the black of the tanks interior,Listening the the snarls and Growls of the Undead horde..He spoke and said  .."Ech.....Vill I escape zis Hell or Die trying....."

Erik reloaded his K-98/.50 Sniper rifle as he watched the Tall,Handsome,Medal Bedecked Officer dive into the tank,He Smirked at the thought of some Dumb Field Marshal trying to be a hero as he began Picking off the infected around the tank,He knew he should have reported this to command by now but why? Shouldnt HE have some Entertainment?, I mean, After all...It was the fall of Europe...Some time later he Called for a Huey Transport to get him out of the AO,It had been a long day watching for survivors,And he was ready for a beer..

                                          ~RIECH WAR MINISTRY:HAMBURG AREA HEADQUARTERS~

General Ulrich Shadet paced the floor in front of a huge War map of Germany.He wondered at the fate of the Fuhrer..Was he alive?...Was he in good health if so?...Many Questions ran through his mind as an Aide Strode across the war room to him,"Sir..an OberFeldMarshall vas spotted in Berlins Downtown district by Colonel Bayer..."That statement snapped the General From his thoughts as he Turned quickly and said"Get a Team of EXO SS Down there now.....Our leadership Needs our Marshals..."As the aide turned and left,He Stared at the map of Berlin..."Our Very survival Depends...On YOU brother...."
