Operation Fire Cross was the codename for the invasion and subsequent occupation of the Western States by the newly independent Nazi America under the leadership of Reichsführer John Smith.
Background[]
When the United States was partitioned the east coast was occupied by the Greater Nazi Reich, the West Coast was occupied by the Japanese Empire and the central United States was made a buffer zone between the two nations. And for more than 20 years both sides respected the border with the Japanese annexing Western United States as the Japanese Pacific States while Germany created Nazi America. However, when the Black Communist Rebellion launched an coordinated strike against Japanese economic target across the pacific states, the Japanese crown princess Michiko persuaded Japanese Emperor Hirohito enough to order an official withdrawal all Japanese military and imperial forces from pacific territories with the BCR installing itself in the now abandoned west coast.
At the same time Reichsmarshall John Smith and Obergruppenführer Wilhelm Goertzmann launched a putsch against the Current Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler and the Nazi leadership. The two came to the agreement that the United States would become independent with John Smith as its Reichsführer, while Goertzmann would become Fuhrer of Germany. As the new American Reichsführer John Smith planned to reunite the United States by at last creating Operation Fire Cross to fulfill that plan.
Operational Plan[]
Little is known of the exact context of Operation Fire Cross but the first phase of the operation called for Luftwaffe's 700th and 500th Airborne Divisions to bombard and for the Americans to reoccupy the West Coast and the 6th Airborne Division to be dropped off into San Francisco before several Panzer divisions, supported by American Army battalions would cross into the Neutral zone in a blitzkrieg manner. Disturbingly, phase five of the plan which outlines policies on pacification and purification called for all the remaining Jews, African-Americans, Asians, Native Americans and all other non-Aryans to be exterminated. Phase five also outlines possible sites for a network of concentration and extermination camps to be built as to fulfill a American Holocaust all of which will include crematories to dispose of the evidence.
Aftermath[]
It is unknown if Operation Fire Cross was enacted or successful. Though with the death of John Smith and with Bill Whitcroft becoming the new Reichsführer (or President) who called off the 700th Airborne Division from bombing San Francisco, it can theorized that operation fire cross was cancelled. It's possible that Bill Whitcroft became president and the western states rejoined the restored United States.
