Author's Note

Hello great readers! I have another great music vid for you to enjoy while reading.

Rise of the Reich

Hitler's Reichstag

Hitler read the reports of the German operations going on in Equestria. His generals were doing well along with his men. They even put the Schutzstaffel to good use for the prisoners. It seemed to him that the Equestrian enemies were very primitive which makes them vulnerable to blitzkrieg tactics. He sent in his blueprints for a new tank in case of emergencies. He also ordered for V2 rockets loaded with the Tabun nerve gas to be transported to Equestria. The factories were building portals that led to Equestria's seas for the Allied and Axis navies to come into play, but it was very expensive and delays happened putting the production months from now. He was going to have to wait until the productions were finished along with the prototype tank being built along with the new V2's.

German FOB (Forward Operating Base)

Erwin Rommel had returned from a scouting mission and saw that the Royal Guards defending Ponyville suffered a Griffon air attack alog with their new machines. They looked like medieval ballistae firing large flaming arrows with a sharp iron tip. The heavy arrow could possibly pierce the Panzer hulls if it took a well placed shot. The Ghost Division went back to base. Rommel needed reinforcements as the Griffon 52nd Army of 400,000 could overcome his base. He called for the 2nd Armored Division led by General Patton. The Armored Division said they would be arriving in about an hour away since they were attacking Griffon reinforcements coming to assist with capturing the enemy base.

The Germans fired the Haubitze 75mm guns pounding the Griffons in a rain of high explosive shells. The Germans formed along the bunkers and fortifications near their FOB. The Griffons charged in which the Germans hailed machine gun fire and flamethrower flames mowing down the advance. Snipers picked off the Griffon crews which operated the ballistae. This left them operational. Soon, Panzer IV's unleashed high explosives and machine gun fire which added to their rising kill count. Rommel had positioned his tanks around his outpost to maximize defense. The SS were even participating. The Germans used mortars to bombard the incoming Griffons. They were soon bypassing the bunkers and into the base resulting in hand to hand combat. The Germans fought fiercely in hand to hand breaking the bone of their Griffon adversaries with the butts of their rifles. German flamethrower soldiers began firing away at the advancing Griffons rushing the entrance. Out came charred bodies and screams of pain. The fire held back the Griffons until German soldiers equipped with Trench guns fired shotgun shells at close range of the Griffons when the fire died down. The shotgun shells spilled the guts of Griffons as more kept coming.

Meanwhile, Goering is at his airfield and hears about Rommels defense. He scrambles AR24 Blitz jet bombers and Me 262 jet fighters to help. Goering flew with the planes he ordered. It's been a long time since he piloted a fighter. Rommel was still defending at his FOB. He managed to cause heavy casualties on the Griffons, but they continued attacking. Then they heard the sounds of bombs being dropped.
"herunterkommen!" The soldiers shouted. They didn't see Griffon bombs, they saw Nazi bombs raining down on the Griffons. Rommel saw the jet bombers in amazement. Me 262's along with Goering strafed the advancing Griffons repeatedly firing their weapons. Rommel used the 8cm Raketen-Vielfachwerfer which was the Wehrmacht's version of the Katyusha. The Griffons were soon pushed back out of the outpost and within view of the guns in the bunkers.

Soon, the American 2nd Armored Division led by Patton tried to lift the siege against their German ally. The M37 Priest SPG's fired their shells and the dreaded Sherman with 105mm guns fired high explosives causing holes in the ranks of the Griffons. The US army rangers used rifle grenades and rifle fire to kill the advancing Griffons. The Germans had took some casualties and were exhausted from the fight.

Out of the FOB portal, came a V2 rocket. Rommel's FOB was supposed to be a V2 launch site. Rommel's men were surprised. They knew a V2 was coming but not that early. It's only been two weeks since they arrived in Equestria. The rocket was already fueled up and was placed into the launching bay. It would take a few days to properly set it up but they had no time. They started preparing it as fast and carefully as they could. The German soldiers defended the V2 Rocket from exploding. Artillery guns continue pounding on the Griffons. They had to fall back. There were only 134,782 Griffon soldiers alive left. They retreated back towards their stronghold just outside of Ponyville.

The V2 was soon ready to launch. Rommel gave the order to launch the V2 to their stronghold. Minutes later, a large tremor shook the ground and the 7th Panzer Division, The 2nd Armored Division and the Luftwaffe all saw a large explosion about 7 miles away. The armies cheered and celebrated at the explosion of the V2. The battle was over.

Soviet 8th Guards Army

General Zhukov and his men heard a large explosion about 10 miles out. He knew that it was a German V2 rocket and the explosion was near their very first battlefield where they made their first appearance weeks ago. They had heard it was captured and came to recapture it from the Griffons but they celebrated as they didn't have to worry about it any more. The 8th Guards army went back to their base to celebrate.

Mane Six

The Mane Six heard a loud explosion from Twilight's castle. They looked out the window to see a large explosion engulfing the Griffon strongholds and camps nearby in flames. They knew soon it was the work of their new Allied army. The ponies were dumbfounded on how humans can build machines with destruction on such a large scale.

"We must report this to Princess Celestia," Twilight said.

She quickly wrote down a letter about the explosion and sent it to Princess Celestia who was surprised at what she read. She quickly rushed to a nearby window and saw that in the distance, was a large explosion. The Reich was rising.
