The traditional heartland of Prussia, Germany would be almost unrecognisable if it wasn't for the winding spires and paradoxical bridges of Königsberg. During the dark days of Napoleon's rampage across Europe, Königsberg provided a vital shelter for King Frederick William III during the French occupation of Prussia. Just as it served then, and just as it served during the days of the Great Elector, under the Reich, Königsberg serves as the fulcrum that separates Eastern Europe from the Reich's Imperial heartland.

Adorned with statues and monuments to Hitler's savage subjugation of Eastern Europe, there seldom lies a street that does not hold Hitler's visage. Each detail, lovingly crafted by a Party sycophant to portray the Führer as the neo-Alexandrian demigod that forty years of propaganda spent building up.

When Hitler dies, he will find he is much more like Alexander than he realises.
