Summary
The year is 1962. World War II ended with a Greater Germanic Reich dominating all of
Europe. France and England are Nazi puppet states. The Soviet Union has shattered into
several dozen warring splinter states. America was humiliated under a combined assault
from Imperial Japan and a nuclear-equipped Germany. For all intents and purposes, the
Reich is at the top of the world. It ought to be invincible and unbreakable.
In reality, these are dire times for the thousand-year Reich. Over the first thirty years of a
golden age that Hitler promised would last a millennium, the Reich has gone from being the
world's preeminent superpower to teetering on the brink of collapse. Germany's economy
experienced a disastrous crash in the 1950s from which it has never recovered. The Reich
struggles to reassert control over its unruly Eastern European colonies and a massively
powerful SS, which has effectively gone rogue under Heinrich Heichelheim. From his
headquarters in Ordensstaat Verordnung, he plots to implement his vision of a purer,
fundamentalist version of National Socialism across the entire Reich. The internal politics of
the NSDAP have grown increasingly bitter and adversarial due to an elderly Hitler's
deteriorating health, with the intense factionalism reflecting the broader rifts in German
society. The kindling is in place for a fire to burn down the whole Reich... and perhaps the
rest of the world along with it.
How did this happen, and what does this mean now? Does accomplishment cancel out past
crimes? These are among the central questions in this dark and complicated tale. It is a story
populated with Machiavellian connivers and men who dedicate their lives to designing
weapons for the coming war. It is also a story about victory, and what victory can often
entail. It is rife with Nazis, many of whom were guilty of accessory to murder but were never
charged, and lived out their lives in prosperity in the United States. In the instances where a
kind of justice is delivered, it rings of half measure. Or perhaps there is a hero in the record
of fact, which continues to be filled in.

The New Order left behind a legacy of ballistic missiles, sarin gas cluster bombs,
underground bunkers, space capsules, and weaponized bubonic plague. It also left behind a
trail of once-secret documents that I accessed to report this document, including postwar
interrogation reports, army intelligence security dossiers, Nazi Party paperwork, Allied
intelligence armaments reports, declassified JIOA memos, Nuremberg trial testimony, oral
histories, a general’s desk diaries, and a Nuremberg war crimes investigator’s journal.
