Premise: late in 1938, Nazi Occultists use a combination of sorcery and super science to break down the barriers between Earth and numerous parallel universes. WWII erupts as it did in our timeline, but with an added assortment of bizarre events and eldritch participants.
Beginning Period: German Invasion of Poland.
--EVENT: After returning home from signing a peace accord with Prime Minister Nevill Chamberlin, Adolf Hitler of Germany is informed by members of a secret Occult Nazi Science Program that they have made a breakthrough that will allow them to break the known laws of science and space time in that will allow them to supply Germany with an army the likes of which the world has never seen, practically ensuring that Germany can safely go to war again and crush any and all resistance. Hitler gives them the go ahead. While the project does not go entirely as planned, the end result is still considered a success, and Germany begins to assemble a supernatural army, completely unaware of the side effects that the project is starting to have.
--EVENT: In Katowice, the Jewish mystic Albert Kraus hears reports of Nazi soldiers crossing the Polish border and calls together a cabal which had been formed in concern when Hitler rose to power. They perform a ritual unsealing the barrier between earth and the faerie realm. None of the cabal are ever seen again.
--EVENT: During the siege of Warsaw, Polish sergeant Jozef Czapski organizes a unit of centaurs and dwarves with the intent of launching commando strikes and sabotage missions against the Nazi forces.
-- EVENT: Despite daring raids and courageous counterstrikes, the Polish forces are unable to withstand the sheer force of the Nazi blitzkrieg lead by a legion of the mass produced "Übermensch" that surviving Polish forces describe as some sort of "armored-man".
--EVENT: A British commando unit parachutes into Poland to observe German forces and get more reliable information. They learn the "armored men" are actually huge Trolls, who wear armor thick enough to deflect most bullets and are able to regenerate wounds.
--Event: In an attempt to impress their Japanese allies, Nazi occultists resurrect Tokugawa Ieyasu, legendary first shogun of Japan. The undead Tokugawa, disgusted with his decayed condition, the conduct of those in charge and the state of his islands in general, kills the Nazis and a good portion of the Japanese high command. He replaces the slain leaders with resurrected shogunate era officials. Tokugawa renames his new empire the Nihonjin Shogunate.
--Period: Germany enacts Project Leviathan
--EVENT: The use of magic-powered robot samurai by the Japanese on Guadalcanal inspires German mage Albert Speer to design a single giant robot he dubs the "Leviathan."
--Event: Using golem magic stolen from Jewish magi, and combining it with Nazi super science Speer constructs the Leviathan. The mech is fully sentient and obedient, and can be remotely control over a seemingly infinite distance by Albert Speer. It is armed with massive shoulder mounted anti-aircraft artillery, arm mounted chain-guns, palm based flame launchers, a chest mounted "disintegration matrix", and an anti-magic shell.
--Event: Much to the distress of the French government, Leviathan strides right over the Maginot Line and into France. Once through their defenses, Leviathan releases a horde of Nazi soldiers infected with lycanthropy into the French countryside.
--EventThe Gargoyles of Notre Dame prove to be as ineffectual as France's conventional forces at stopping the advance of Leviathan into Paris. Upon sweeping away the last of the France's mundane and mystical guardians, Leviathan attacks the Eiffel Tower, fashions it into a sort of throne and seats itself upon it. The German propaganda machine quickly makes thousands of copies of photographs of Leviathan on its makeshift throne, surveying the defeated city and circulates them throughout France and the other allied nations.
--Period: Formation of the British Broomstick Battalion.
--EVENT: Nazi scientists finish work on a project designed to create expendable Hitler clone soldiers that can be deployed to the front lines. These soldiers are paired with personal rocket packs that allow them to quickly move across the battlefield. Soon after their first deployments, these units become popularly known by allied forces as "Stupid Jetpack Hitlers".
--Event: The precognitives working for the British Military forsee an attack by the German forces coming the following day. With little time to prepare and no other options, Prime Minister Winston Churchill II asks Codemame: M, leader of the British Secret Service, to initiate the Avalon Protocol. M secretly sends two of their top agents, Astoria Holmes and John Watson IV, through a secret dimensional gate. Time passes and the morning of the Battle of Britain arrives. As the SJH's and the Luftwaffe bombers arrive, Agents Holmes and Watson emerge from the gate, bringing with them Merlin, Morgana LeFay, and all the magic they possess.
--Event: The Battle of Britain ends in a British victory when Merlin's White Dragons make British airspace impossible for Luftwaffe bombers. However, the dragons refuse to participate in any actions outside of the British Isles.
--Event: In an attempt to counter the perceived threat of SJH's, The British army organizes it's own aerial front line unit. Commanded by a resurrected Morgana LeFay, the new battalion is attached to the Women's Royal Army Corps. (Brigadier Lefay insisted her methods and tactics were usable only by females.)
The unit is dubbed His Majesty's Own 531st Aerial Grenadiers, but they quickly become known to troops and the public as the Broomstick Battalion, due to the unique vehicles that carry them into battle.
--Period: The War in North Africa
--Event: In Roman Africa Province, guerillas riding flying carpets and supported by a handful of djinn begin making devastating attacks against the occupying Roman armies. Emperor Lucius Fulvius Mussolini sends a messenger to Hitler requesting his aid in putting down the revolt.
--Event:Operation Crusader relieves the first siege of Tobruk. Rommel's Afrika Corps is forced to retreat when SS Okkulten Offizier Joacim Hakl is struck down by British Eighth Army Occult advisor Thoth-Amon. Only a brilliant rear guard action by Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel saves the Afrika Corps from destruction at the hands of British Forces augmented by Osirian charioteers.
--Event: After the weary, under equipped Afrika Corps fails to retake Tobruk, Der Fuher orders The unit disbanded and pressures Rommel to commit suicide. Rommel is prepared to comply to ensure the safety of his family in Germany, but after receiving news from OSS operatives that his family has been removed from Germany by elements of the Broomstick Battalion and placed in protective custody, The Field Marshall agrees to defect to the Allies. The Afrika Corps follows their leader in his new mission to rid The Fatherland of it's diabolical leadership.
--Period: The United Kingdoms of America Joins the War
--Event: The allied leaders (Churchill II and Stalin-tron 3000) are called together by Lord Roosevelt. Timor Broos, Prime Minister of Atlantis agree to host the meeting in his kingdom, as it remains both a neutral party and hidden from Nazi forces. The meetings are long and exhausting, but in the end prove invaluable. The Americas will join the war against the Axis, and provide their super science to the cause, in exchange for their liberty from the British Empire.
--Event: As part of the pact, a new unit is formed; one designed to conduct guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. A small coalition of soldiers from America, Canada, Mexico, Austria, France, and Russia, led by Lieutenant Harriet Wolf of the BBB, are dropped on the outskirts of Germany and told to make their way inward, killing Nazis along the way. This unit eventually gains the informal title "The Foreign Horde", which they proudly accept as their name.
--EVENT: Soon after America enters the war against the Nazis, the Shogunite launches a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, attacking the base with a half-dozen Krakens. Fortunately, the Aztec War Galleys and Dolphin-Riders that are the back-bone of the American navy were on manuevers and are spared from the destruction.
--Event: with Leviathan still having its way with allied forces, American forces construct their own massive fighting machine. Dubbed "Lady Liberty" the mech has similar specs to Leviathan, but sacrifices some armor for speed and firepower. Lady Liberty is tested in the South Pacific, with top marks.
--Event: Following the success of Lady Liberty's initial deployments, America works quickly to assemble additional mechs to join in the in the field. The Nihonjin Shogunate attempts to counter this force by summoning the legendary Gojira, more commonly referred to as Godzilla.
--Period: The Spectacular Death of Hitler Prime
--Event: With the fall of Leviathan, Hitler Prime and his top agents flee to their secret base in the German countryside, Castle Hoff. However, they are tracked by the Foreign Horde, who signal the Allies to the castle's location.
--EVENT: Using a massive teleportation spell, the allies send a force of Broomstick Battalion fliers, a pair of large dragons and a company of machine gun-toting elves into Germany. They assault Castle Hoff, attempting to carry out a mission that will end the war by Christmas.
--EVENT: The teleportation spell was able to move the invasion force nearer to their target, Merlin's calculation were a bit off, and the invasion force ends up in German farmlands. LeFay, field commander of the Allied invasion forces, pushes her men as hard and fast as possible towards Castle Hoff.
--Event: As Allied forces begin to breach the defenses of Castle Hoff, Nazi scientist Dr. Ernst Wurdulach sneaks away to his private laboratory, where he plans to escape via his secret time portal. However, Lieutenant Wolf's unit follows him and corners him in front of the portal. Dr. Wurdulach then swears that while his physical form may die, his consciousness will survive to possess great thinkers across time, space, and even alternate realities, and force them to continue his campaign of chaos. Wurdulach then hits the overload button on his portal and it explodes in a burst of bright light. Wolf's unit are fine, but there is no sign of the mad scientist.
--Event: A team of Nazi Science-Commandos enact Operation: Unsterblich. They successfully recover Hitler Prime's dead body, and while the corpse itself is beyond restoration, they are successfully able to save Hitler's brain, which is resurrected inside a SCIENCE!Jar and smuggled to a secret Nazi Military Science base on the Moon.
Ending Period: Victory over the Nihonjin Shogunate.
--EVENT: A turning point in the war in the Pacific takes place when a trio of American Dolphin-Rider squadrons manage to ambush and destroy four Shogunate Krakens near Midway Island.
--EVENT: In an attempt to stop the Allies advance towards Japan, the Nihonjin Shogunate re-deploy Godzilla at Iwo Jima. They are surprised when they discover that the Allied fleet there is escorted by Americas attempt to clone the beast, four smaller versions known as 'Zilla's. A battle between Godzilla and the four Zillas quickly ensues, with cries of "FOR PEARL HARBOR!" being heard from nearly every american present in the fleet as it begins. The battle between Godzilla and the Zillas results in the near complete devastation of Iwo Jima and the surrounding Volcano Islands, but in the end Godzilla is forced into retreat after being critically wounded and crippled with injuries that he is not expected to recover from at any point in the near future. The allied forces, in turn, are left with just a single Zilla, but in the fallout of the battle a photograph is taken of the beast standing triumphant in victory, a photo that will quickly become highly popular in America, be reprinted countless times, and become one of the iconic photos of the war.
***--EVENT: The Ghost of Jules Verne constructs a rocket designed to be shot out of a giant cannon. This rocket carries an allied assault force to the Moon, where they locate and attack the Nazi Moon Base. The head of Hitler is destroyed, along with the vats in which more Hitler clones were being grown. Simultaneously, the Ghost of H.G. Wells leads a commando team of invisible men into Tokyo, where they are able to assassinate Tokugawa Ieyasu. This double victory seems to indicate that the war is over--but new information about the original Occult Nazi Science Program is recovered in the Moon Raid and indicates that the danger is not yet over.
--Event: Allied scientists discover that the original Occult Nazi Science Program that resulted in the breaking of barriers between the various worlds of the multiverse is wrecking havoc on the space-time continuum, including but certainly not limited to both causing unintended side-effects such as the warping the reality of the past even before the point at which the barriers were broken, as well as threatening to destroy the future, which would cause the universe to dissolve so that it effectively ceases to exist.
---Event: at the third Potsdam conference, the "Big Three" sign a cooperation pact, agreeing to set aside any ideological differences until a solution for repairing spacetime continuum is found.

Nobody can identify the source, but the information turns out to be valid and becomes key to the Allies' victory over the Shogunate. Later historical evidence would discover that the source of the information was Harada Daisuke, a Japanese corporate head who profits greatly off of post-war trade with the Free States of America and whose company eventually merges with the American Hershel Stein Corp to form Harada-Stein.

Premise: late in 1938, Nazi Occultists use a combination of sorcery and super science to break down the barriers between Earth and numerous parallel universes. WWII erupts as it did in our timeline, but with an added assortment of bizarre events and eldritch participants.
Beginning Period: German Invasion of Poland.
--EVENT: After returning home from signing a peace accord with Prime Minister Nevill Chamberlin, Adolf Hitler of Germany is informed by members of a secret Occult Nazi Science Program that they have made a breakthrough that will allow them to break the known laws of science and space time in that will allow them to supply Germany with an army the likes of which the world has never seen, practically ensuring that Germany can safely go to war again and crush any and all resistance. Hitler gives them the go ahead. While the project does not go entirely as planned, the end result is still considered a success, and Germany begins to assemble a supernatural army, completely unaware of the side effects that the project is starting to have.
--EVENT: In Katowice, the Jewish mystic Albert Kraus hears reports of Nazi soldiers crossing the Polish border and calls together a cabal which had been formed in concern when Hitler rose to power. They perform a ritual unsealing the barrier between earth and the faerie realm. None of the cabal are ever seen again.
--EVENT: During the siege of Warsaw, Polish sergeant Jozef Czapski organizes a unit of centaurs and dwarves with the intent of launching commando strikes and sabotage missions against the Nazi forces.
-- EVENT: Despite daring raids and courageous counterstrikes, the Polish forces are unable to withstand the sheer force of the Nazi blitzkrieg lead by a legion of the mass produced "Übermensch" that surviving Polish forces describe as some sort of "armored-man".
--EVENT: A British commando unit parachutes into Poland to observe German forces and get more reliable information. They learn the "armored men" are actually huge Trolls, who wear armor thick enough to deflect most bullets and are able to regenerate wounds.
--Event: In an attempt to impress their Japanese allies, Nazi occultists resurrect Tokugawa Ieyasu, legendary first shogun of Japan. The undead Tokugawa, disgusted with his decayed condition, the conduct of those in charge and the state of his islands in general, kills the Nazis and a good portion of the Japanese high command. He replaces the slain leaders with resurrected shogunate era officials. Tokugawa renames his new empire the Nihonjin Shogunate.
--Period: Germany enacts Project Leviathan
--EVENT: The use of magic-powered robot samurai by the Japanese on Guadalcanal inspires German mage Albert Speer to design a single giant robot he dubs the "Leviathan."
--Event: Using golem magic stolen from Jewish magi, and combining it with Nazi super science Speer constructs the Leviathan. The mech is fully sentient and obedient, and can be remotely control over a seemingly infinite distance by Albert Speer. It is armed with massive shoulder mounted anti-aircraft artillery, arm mounted chain-guns, palm based flame launchers, a chest mounted "disintegration matrix", and an anti-magic shell.
---Event: The Nazis test the Leviathan against a series of their own creations, both mystical and otherwise. The Leviathan exceeds their expectations, and the propaganda machine begins to print all kinds of doodads and trinkets adorned with the mystical machine.
--Event: Much to the distress of the French government, Leviathan strides right over the Maginot Line and into France. Once through their defenses, Leviathan releases a horde of Nazi soldiers infected with lycanthropy into the French countryside.
--EventThe Gargoyles of Notre Dame prove to be as ineffectual as France's conventional forces at stopping the advance of Leviathan into Paris. Upon sweeping away the last of the France's mundane and mystical guardians, Leviathan attacks the Eiffel Tower, fashions it into a sort of throne and seats itself upon it. The German propaganda machine quickly makes thousands of copies of photographs of Leviathan on its makeshift throne, surveying the defeated city and circulates them throughout France and the other allied nations.
--Period: Formation of the British Broomstick Battalion.
--EVENT: Nazi scientists finish work on a project designed to create expendable Hitler clone soldiers that can be deployed to the front lines. These soldiers are paired with personal rocket packs that allow them to quickly move across the battlefield. Soon after their first deployments, these units become popularly known by allied forces as "Stupid Jetpack Hitlers".
--Event: The precognitives working for the British Military forsee an attack by the German forces coming the following day. With little time to prepare and no other options, Prime Minister Winston Churchill II asks Codemame: M, leader of the British Secret Service, to initiate the Avalon Protocol. M secretly sends two of their top agents, Astoria Holmes and John Watson IV, through a secret dimensional gate. Time passes and the morning of the Battle of Britain arrives. As the SJH's and the Luftwaffe bombers arrive, Agents Holmes and Watson emerge from the gate, bringing with them Merlin, Morgana LeFay, and all the magic they possess.
--Event: The Battle of Britain ends in a British victory when Merlin's White Dragons make British airspace impossible for Luftwaffe bombers. However, the dragons refuse to participate in any actions outside of the British Isles.
--Event: In an attempt to counter the perceived threat of SJH's, The British army organizes it's own aerial front line unit. Commanded by a resurrected Morgana LeFay, the new battalion is attached to the Women's Royal Army Corps. (Brigadier Lefay insisted her methods and tactics were usable only by females.)
The unit is dubbed His Majesty's Own 531st Aerial Grenadiers, but they quickly become known to troops and the public as the Broomstick Battalion, due to the unique vehicles that carry them into battle.
--Period: The War in North Africa
--Event: In Roman Africa Province, guerillas riding flying carpets and supported by a handful of djinn begin making devastating attacks against the occupying Roman armies. Emperor Lucius Fulvius Mussolini sends a messenger to Hitler requesting his aid in putting down the revolt.
--Event:Operation Crusader relieves the first siege of Tobruk. Rommel's Afrika Corps is forced to retreat when SS Okkulten Offizier Joacim Hakl is struck down by British Eighth Army Occult advisor Thoth-Amon. Only a brilliant rear guard action by Lieutenant General Erwin Rommel saves the Afrika Corps from destruction at the hands of British Forces augmented by Osirian charioteers.
--Event: After the weary, under equipped Afrika Corps fails to retake Tobruk, Der Fuher orders The unit disbanded and pressures Rommel to commit suicide. Rommel is prepared to comply to ensure the safety of his family in Germany, but after receiving news from OSS operatives that his family has been removed from Germany by elements of the Broomstick Battalion and placed in protective custody, The Field Marshall agrees to defect to the Allies. The Afrika Corps follows their leader in his new mission to rid The Fatherland of it's diabolical leadership.
--Period: The United Kingdoms of America Joins the War
--Event: The allied leaders (Churchill II and Stalin-tron 3000) are called together by Lord Roosevelt. Timor Broos, Prime Minister of Atlantis agree to host the meeting in his kingdom, as it remains both a neutral party and hidden from Nazi forces. The meetings are long and exhausting, but in the end prove invaluable. The Americas will join the war against the Axis, and provide their super science to the cause, in exchange for their liberty from the British Empire.
--Event: As part of the pact, a new unit is formed; one designed to conduct guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. A small coalition of soldiers from America, Canada, Mexico, Austria, France, and Russia, led by Lieutenant Harriet Wolf of the BBB, are dropped on the outskirts of Germany and told to make their way inward, killing Nazis along the way. This unit eventually gains the informal title "The Foreign Horde", which they proudly accept as their name.
--EVENT: Soon after America enters the war against the Nazis, the Shogunite launches a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, attacking the base with a half-dozen Krakens. Fortunately, the Aztec War Galleys and Dolphin-Riders that are the back-bone of the American navy were on manuevers and are spared from the destruction.
--Event: with Leviathan still having its way with allied forces, American forces construct their own massive fighting machine. Dubbed "Lady Liberty" the mech has similar specs to Leviathan, but sacrifices some armor for speed and firepower. Lady Liberty is tested in the South Pacific, with top marks.
--Event: Following the success of Lady Liberty's initial deployments, America works quickly to assemble additional mechs to join in the in the field. The Nihonjin Shogunate attempts to counter this force by summoning the legendary Gojira, more commonly referred to as Godzilla.
--Period: The Spectacular Death of Hitler Prime
--Event: With the fall of Leviathan, Hitler Prime and his top agents flee to their secret base in the German countryside, Castle Hoff. However, they are tracked by the Foreign Horde, who signal the Allies to the castle's location.
--EVENT: Using a massive teleportation spell, the allies send a force of Broomstick Battalion fliers, a pair of large dragons and a company of machine gun-toting elves into Germany. They assault Castle Hoff, attempting to carry out a mission that will end the war by Christmas.
--EVENT: The teleportation spell was able to move the invasion force nearer to their target, Merlin's calculation were a bit off, and the invasion force ends up in German farmlands. LeFay, field commander of the Allied invasion forces, pushes her men as hard and fast as possible towards Castle Hoff.
--Event: As Allied forces begin to breach the defenses of Castle Hoff, Nazi scientist Dr. Ernst Wurdulach sneaks away to his private laboratory, where he plans to escape via his secret time portal. However, Lieutenant Wolf's unit follows him and corners him in front of the portal. Dr. Wurdulach then swears that while his physical form may die, his consciousness will survive to possess great thinkers across time, space, and even alternate realities, and force them to continue his campaign of chaos. Wurdulach then hits the overload button on his portal and it explodes in a burst of bright light. Wolf's unit are fine, but there is no sign of the mad scientist.
--Event: A team of Nazi Science-Commandos enact Operation: Unsterblich. They successfully recover Hitler Prime's dead body, and while the corpse itself is beyond restoration, they are successfully able to save Hitler's brain, which is resurrected inside a SCIENCE!Jar and smuggled to a secret Nazi Military Science base on the Moon.
Ending Period: Victory over the Nihonjin Shogunate.
--EVENT: A turning point in the war in the Pacific takes place when a trio of American Dolphin-Rider squadrons manage to ambush and destroy four Shogunate Krakens near Midway Island.
--EVENT: In an attempt to stop the Allies advance towards Japan, the Nihonjin Shogunate re-deploy Godzilla at Iwo Jima. They are surprised when they discover that the Allied fleet there is escorted by Americas attempt to clone the beast, four smaller versions known as 'Zilla's. A battle between Godzilla and the four Zillas quickly ensues, with cries of "FOR PEARL HARBOR!" being heard from nearly every american present in the fleet as it begins. The battle between Godzilla and the Zillas results in the near complete devastation of Iwo Jima and the surrounding Volcano Islands, but in the end Godzilla is forced into retreat after being critically wounded and crippled with injuries that he is not expected to recover from at any point in the near future. The allied forces, in turn, are left with just a single Zilla, but in the fallout of the battle a photograph is taken of the beast standing triumphant in victory, a photo that will quickly become highly popular in America, be reprinted countless times, and become one of the iconic photos of the war.
--Event: The allies receive a telepathic message from an anonymous source, revealing a long list of Japanese defense secrets and weak points in the Shogunate. Nobody can identify the source, but the information turns out to be valid and becomes key to the Allies' victory over the Shogunate. Later historical evidence would discover that the source of the information was Harada Daisuke, a Japanese corporate head who profits greatly off of post-war trade with the Free States of America and whose company eventually merges with the American Hershel Stein Corp to form Harada-Stein.
--EVENT: The Ghost of Jules Verne constructs a rocket designed to be shot out of a giant cannon. This rocket carries an allied assault force to the Moon, where they locate and attack the Nazi Moon Base. The head of Hitler is destroyed, along with the vats in which more Hitler clones were being grown. Simultaneously, the Ghost of H.G. Wells leads a commando team of invisible men into Tokyo, where they are able to assassinate Tokugawa Ieyasu. This double victory seems to indicate that the war is over--but new information about the original Occult Nazi Science Program is recovered in the Moon Raid and indicates that the danger is not yet over.
--Event: Allied scientists discover that the original Occult Nazi Science Program that resulted in the breaking of barriers between the various worlds of the multiverse is wrecking havoc on the space-time continuum, including but certainly not limited to both causing unintended side-effects such as the warping the reality of the past even before the point at which the barriers were broken, as well as threatening to destroy the future, which would cause the universe to dissolve so that it effectively ceases to exist.
---Event: at the third Potsdam conference, the "Big Three" sign a cooperation pact, agreeing to set aside any ideological differences until a solution for repairing spacetime continuum is found.
****---Event: Using their top secret magical nuclear bomb code name "Big Boy", the Allied forces successfully blow up the unnatural gateway between worlds, causing it to collapse. As a side effect, the unnatural timeline is separated from the original version, which reasserts itself as the 'real' version of WWII, while the alternate version is shunted off to become its own pocket universe. If they knew what was going on, scientist would be unable to explain the exact details, and the reasoning would probably be chalked up to "magic, or some crazy like that".

On June 6th, 1944, Lady Liberty strides from the Atlantic onto the beaches of Normandy, where it is met by Leviathan. Their conflict levels Le Havre and much of Bayeux before Lady Liberty's Torch ruptures Leviathan's reactor core, causing it to explode.
