Brussels was officially founded in 979 AD, when the Frankish prince Charles of Lorraine fortified a nameless village on the River Senne. Nearly thousand years and many rulers later - the city was controlled by the Burgundians, Spanish, the Austrians, the French, and an independent Belgian kingdom - Brussels is once again under the thumb of Germans ruling from Burgundy. The Nazis made Brussels the capital of a Belgian Reichskommissariat when they invaded, and it remained in place for over a decade. After the West Russian War, the territory was handed over to Heinrich Himmler, for him to reshape into the SS-Ordensstaat Burgund. Despite the disdain of the city's citizens, as well as the Flemish and Walloon SS divisions, Himmler is hellbent on restoring mythical German greatness to the city and all others under his rule.
