Chapter 70:
December 4, 1939
Berlin, Northern Germany
"Die, dieee!"
"Aaargh, my leg-!"
Even in the dead of night, just past midnight, the gunshots, screams, and shouts that covered Berlin did not cease.

[To the loyal gentlemen of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. This is Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel, Head of the Führer's Security.
]
It wasn't Doctor Goebbels, who usually made the broadcasts, but since Erwin Rommel was a figure the Nazis had widely promoted as a hero who saved the Führer's life from the rebel army's assassination attempt, everyone momentarily froze.
