From our diplomatic correspondent: How had it come to this, the pride of the Third Reich's armed forces intervening in the Very British Civil War? Contacts in Berlin and Presteigne suggest a very simple explanation - the visible success of Colonel Comrade Professor Winter's "drive on Hereford". The danger that "the cockpit of the VBCW" could "go red", with all the associated consequences in London - and thus, obviously, across Europe - was clearly too much for the Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler, who delivered a vicious denunciation of "the Ogre Winters" and "all his filthy Communist works" to the Reichstag just this last month:
 |
| The Fuhrer's notorious "Herefordshire Speech" to the Reichstag. |
It is now rumoured that the Chancellor of Germany's private views as to Winter's successes within the Hereford VBCW were, if anything, even more extreme than those he had expressed to the Reichstag. Was there any prospect that Greater Germany could even contemplate Herefordshire turning red?
 |
| Adolf Hitler expresses his "Herefordshire policy" within the confines of the newly rebuilt Reich Chancellery. |
Against this background and anxious to curry favour with the Fuhrer, Reichsmarshall Goering took it upon himself, it is said, to plan the intervention of his Luftwaffe troops from the skies above Mortimer's Cross [note1] It has been categorically denied from Reich Chancellery sources that "Operation Cilla" was "an authorised intervention", and suggested to the contrary that "it was a whim of the Reichsmarshall himself".
And what of the Reichsmarshall? He has not been seen in Berlin since the start of "Operation Cilla"....
[note1] for those living in the alternative time line (of reality), very much like the flight of Rudolph Hess to Scotland in 1941. Although Goering's escapade clearly involved a lot more planes (and no, we didn't research the range of Ju.52 as against an Me110. This is the VBCW....)
