09 April, 1940
I thought boarding the flagship Schlesien to see the landing in Norway, but Raeder mock me, because I was so bright that I was a target miles away and the invasion would fail.
But the truth is, that he did not want to do
some babysitter and to clean some potential
vomit.
"Some other time, with the sea, more calm“
he said.
Schlesien (foreground) and
Schleswig-Holstein
So, I stayed just on the border with Denmark following ground operations.
War was declared to Denmark and Norway.
Klepke was order to fly
with the Fallschirmjäger
divisions to Copenhagen
to take the city in a
airborne assault.
The XX. Armeekorps to
Ârhus.
OPERATION WESERÜBUNG
In Norway the I.Transportflotte disembark four divisions to Drammen and Fredrikstad, near Oslo.
13 April, 1940
After forty-eight hours Tonder in
Denmark, Drammen and Fredrikstad are
conquered. The two divisions in
Drammen are order to conquer Oslo.
The defense of Oslo is
futile. Both (skill3) as
breakthrough.
Two infantry- divisions
against three.
We know the defence is
command by Field
Marshal Feiring (skill 0).
Fredrikstad is being
Attack by three infantry
division but we are
winning.
Raeder and Marschall were order to Kiel.
The airborne assault.at Copenhagen, order two days ago, is still not under way.
Because of this, at 16:00 I instructed Angelis to stop is march to Tonder and head to Copenhagen.
The remaining three divisions should continue to Ârhus,
At 23:00 with the transporflottille in Kiel I order the XXI. Armeekorps to start loading to the invade Copenhagen..
This was one of my mistakes.
So eager to conquer Denmark, that I was ready to involve directly one Headquarter.
In the 12th at 12:00 German won the battle of Fredrikstad and Oslo.
Today the German Fallschirmjäger star the battle of Copenhagen.
Fortunately I could correct the error made 30 hours before, and I cancel the operation involving the XXI. Armeekorps.
I hade to blame to a miss communication, saying that I believe that the division of Angelis was there.
Damn me.
15 April, 1940
Our department of science do not stop.
We discover an advance aircraft design and began to discover how to make mechanized infantry.
Raeder left the safe port of Kiel and try to intercept in the Bälts any Denmark ship.
The battle of Kolding in Denmark was won, and the port of Ârhus is easy conquer.
In a rare moment, Maj. General Brämer with is Kavallerie enter in the port of Ârhus.
He is gaining much experience (91,40%).
Oslo is conquer.
The roads and the port defense was damage but
will recover it.
Oslo’s Harbor
Three of the four Division infantry went west
to secure the ports.
Raeder intercept the danish fleet leaving the port of Ârhus.
Five vessels against two.
In the report presented by Raeder, of this first naval combat of the Kriegsmarine, he had the best position, without good weather.
We won the first naval
battle.
We sank the pride of
the Danish Navy, the
HDMS Niels Juel.
Raeder was order
to persecute the HDMS
Peder Skram.
As the fighting in Copenhagen is underway, Angelis, with the 76th Infantry-Division, took a new route., to Kiel, to the transporters.
Then he must go north of Denmark, to Kolding..
16 April, 1940
The first trial for flying bombs were made. It was a success.
Because of the continues
problems with oil, we
instructed our scientists to
find a way to improve
the refining efficiency in 30%.
Also better ways to improve the education, and better leaderships in the future (+15%)
Today the Norwegian Army
capitulated and the government
along with is King were taken
aboard the Cruiser HMS Glasgow
at Molde to exile in the England.
It came as a surprise that the
Norwegian Army has fallen first
then the Danish Army.
17 April, 1940
With the first Naval victory, a new Heavy Cruiser was order.
We are confident.
Raeder is order to try to intercept any ship in Öresund, in the strait.
The Battlecruiser Schleswig-Holstein is the only damage (74%).
Must return to port for repairs.
The Royal Navy as sunk one of ours merchant transport.
Turkey offers to buy 4,04 Energy for 0,15 ℛℳ.
We accepted.
The battle of Copenhagen finally
started.
The Fallschimjägers finally landed
and Ringer engage the battle.
Denmark battle
19 April, 1940
Copenhagen fall at the end of the
18th day. Kieple was order to fly
there, to prepare to bring back our
soldiers.
But by morning the Denmark
Government and is King,
Christian X ask for peace.
Two Garrison was order to be
created to establish order in
Denmark.
We have no intention of interfering
in the governance of Denmark.
The King did not run, so, we are
Friendly.

To prevent future oil problems, the science department is developing new technologies. (+30%)
Sweden, offers transit rights.
With the fall of Norway,
they are afraid.
After our occupation of Denmark, The British army took Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
They are to far for our Kriegsmarine… for now.
In the City of Oslo
22 April, 1940
The Italian government continues to exchange with us.
0,04 ℛℳ for 1,62 Energy.
De Angelis, with the 76th Infantry-Division now in Norway, under the XX. Armeekorps, was detach and attach to the XXI.Armeekorps that is also in Norway and send to secure the port of Trondheim.
The XXI.Armeekorps was detach from the 3rd Armee.
The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor were send to the Eastern Norwegian Trench searching for enemy ships.
Sweden, a constitutional Monarchy with a government:
Social Demokraterna 5 Deputies (should have only 4);
Högerpartiet 3 Deputies (should have 0)
They are afraid.
Our merchant navy
We discover a new type of advance in Radar.
Can’t understand what it is, but the scientist says that will improve (+10,) our search for enemy planes, and in the future, we can research how to put them in fighters or bombers.
They say, that for now, they will research some electronic computing machine, to bring more research efficiency (+5%).
To much scientific to me, but, is not my expertise.
The Abwehr report Jordan troops in he allies in Dover and naval activities north of Netherlands.
Plans are review to the Fall Gelb.
Von Leed that was in charge of the OB West, was put in a place that could lead the army more direct .
We pass to the Heeresgruppe C.
I really don’t know if he understood this as a demotion or if he understood that I want him in the field. He is a man that I trust for attack or defend.
He is a skill (4) officer, that defends the offensive and defensive doctrines.
The Royal Navy is attacking our convoys, in Kattegat and in the Bälts.
Four transporters and one escort were lost.
Raeder was order to sortie to the Eastern Norwegian Trench trying to find the Royal Navy.
Secretly I don’t want him to find. I do not fully trust our navy capability.
To respond to this,
the 8th and 4th
Unterseebootsflotte
were merge and
under the
command of
von Nordeck it was
order to patrol the skagerrack sea.
Restructuring the Luftwaffe.
The III.Fliegerkorps had two Focke-Wulf Fw 190D+, air units one Heinkel He 111 unit and one Stuka unit.
The KoLuft HG Nord had two Messerschmitt Bf-109E Emil, units one Heinkel He 111 unit and one Stuka. unit
Now they have one Focke-Wulf Fw 190D+ unit, one Messerschmitt Bf-109E Emil, unit one Heinkel He 111 unit and one Stuka. unit
One hundred new Messerschmitt Bf-109E Emil were deployed in Kassel to join the Luftflotte 1 with two hundred Heinkel He 111 command by Felmy.
Also, to prepare for a full occupation of the Netherlands, Belgium and perhaps France, five Garrison-Divisions were train (each one with two garrisons and one military police).
29 April, 1940
Raeder was order for other sortie on the 26th.
The first sortie, did not find anything.
We are getting more 15%
Hard Attack from the
tungsten from Portugal and
+31,5% of Nuclear Research
from the heavy water from
Rjukan, Norway.
In Sweden there is tungsten near the Norwegian border.
If for some reason, Portugal would stop the commerce of tungsten we must consider the case of invading Sweden or our relations would take steps to commerce without war.
So far, they gives transit rights for our troops.
Maybe can be acquire by peace.
Italy continues to buy us more Energy (0,63 for 0,01 ℛℳ).
Denmark submarines, sunk one of our convoy, the Brits sunk two more and the French also two more.
Damn them all.
This time, Raeder was order to intercept any enemy vessel and sunk them.
03 May, 1940
I am very concerned with the defense of our airspace.
We continue to improve the flight control advance ground (radar combat impact +15%)
We need a strong Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine.
The French navy continues to sunk our convoys to Norway. Two more.
A new Rocket Test Site is start to be constructed and other two are completed in Kreuz near former Polish border.
The two sorties and one interception attempted did nothing.
So Raeder was instructed to escort the convoy from Oslo to Kiel.
The Hochseeflotte to rebase from Wilhelmshaven to Fredrikshavn.
Sweden is no longer aligning
with us.
This is no good to us.
They are a democratic
country,
And are drifting to the Allies.
We were counting with there
aligning with us to get the
tungsten.
The activity in the
strait is going nuts.
No real confrontation,
But the Royal Navy,
Royal Danish Navy,
Royal Norueguesae
Navy and the
Kriegsmarine are all
there.
Activity in the Strait of Skagerrak
Three hundred Junkers Ju -52/3m were order to Junkers.
We are betting heavily on the Air force..
Must defend the skies of our enemies, our troops could move freewill and the Luftwaffe must be prepare to supply behind enemy lines.
Lithuania cancel the trade agreement of buying us 10,28 Energy.
Spain propose to buy us Energy, but only 1,10.
Von Ribbentrop inform that the Reich stop trying to influence Romania and Spain.
06 May, 1940
Italy stop the trade agreement started two days ago.
Can’t understand them.
Portugal cancel to sell us Fuel
Three more convoys were sunk.
One by the British, another by the French
and other by the Danes.
The route Kiel – Oslo is being escort by
Raeder. Now they are sinking the convoys
n the route Oslo – Kiel.
Real Admiral Lütjens as order to weigh
anchor and escort the convoy route from
Kiel – Oslo.
Von Nordeck, to escort the route Oslo – Kiel.
The Luftwaffe as order to help.
Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor Division to sunk any boat in the Skagerrack sea.
