Campaign Newspaper Headlines Late August - Early September 1939

Perhaps… if the German people gets rid of the nazis and of Czechoslovakia and Austria!

What is this supossed to mean?

Of course they're not. Specially when Stevin is on-line at 2 o'clock in the morning, Holland's time…

Is my order of three boxes of vódka and of a couple of cute Red Army soldiers ready?

Think it's a very good idea, since I can't get to install the bloody MSN

Are there generals still left? Guess the NKVD is not doing their job efficiently…

 

hmmm... what about a yahoo group on the campaign...?

but i like the chat room idea...

 

Not to forget the true nature of the campaign...

"Just come on over with your army, Stefan, and we´ll give your tunics bigger button holes..."

 

Kai,

are these bullet-hole sized button holes by any chance?

If so cant see them being much use in the centre of the German soldiers foreheads...

 

Actually, I meant Red Army tunics, ours are fine thanks. Anyhow, if I wanted bigger button holes I would go for Britain or the US, slightly larger bullets dont you know...

 

NEWS FLASH!

August 31st 1939
Troop movements on the western bank of the Rhine in the wake of groundbreaking negotiations

The Fuhrer today spoke on German radio on the subject of secret negotiations that have taken place between France and Germany in recent weeks. He announced that German troops would be leaving the west bank of the Rhine, to leave just 12 divisions (including 10 infantry divisions and 2 armoured) on the training grounds and defences in the area. He spoke of this time of international tension as a period that would require give and take on both sides. He referred to committments on the side of the French that he feels sure will be confirmed at a later date and said that his ordering of the movement of troops was a 'gesture to show our faith in the committment of the French to the cause of world peace'.


German troops stop in a town before moving on to a Rhine crossing.

 

Stefan,

Post this on the other News Headlines too, if you are doing it in the campaign... Like the pic!


Now I AM confused as to what is goin on...

Hmmmm... maybe be its not gonna be war...

 

As I said to Freddy, as long as I am not provoked I am committed to peace, I will not allow my nation to be embroiled in another war for no good reason. I have achieved my immediate objectives, overturning versailles and putting myself on a par with the other great nations of Europe. I want nothing more than equality.

Sieg Heil!

 

Stefan, committed to peace???

 

FINLAND´S DICTATOR GOVERNMENT MURDERING IT´S OWN CITIZENS



Pravda
Yesterday the people of Finland protested against the disgusting behaviour of Finnish government that has prisoned several free people lately for publicly accusing the government for dictatorship. In response the police and army were called to stop the march and by the order of the government started shooting people. Comrade Stalin himself has shown deep concern on the actions of the Finnish government and has sent his objections to the Finnish president.

 

Hey, you said this was our war, well to be frank I reckon I can have much more fun ruling in peace time. Plus, I don't want to rub davey up the wrong way

 

Stefan,

if you take your troops from the west..then you move them in the east,right?

OUCH!

 

Only east of the Rhine, onto their training areas again and to the western Rhine defences.

Incidentally the Fuhrer also spoke in support of the Finnish people and expressed his disapproval of the actions of the government.

 

Le Figaro, Paris, August 20th 1939.

«FRENCH PRESIDENT FLIES TO MOSCOW

Friedrich d'Épéhéry, President and Prime Minister of France will pay a diplomatic visit to his homonimous at the Kremlin, Secretary General Kai-Petróvich Stalin in order to discuss the situation of Europe. One of the President's main intentions is to act as a mediator between the Soviet and Finnish governments on the Leningrad crisis and prevent hostile actions from both sides. Also, commercial agreements will be made and as a symbol of respect and the establishment of strong bounds between both nations, the French President will award his Soviet Counterpart, Comrade Stalin with the French Legion of Honour.»
