Abandoned... admittedly they'd had a checkered past with just about any nation in the world but this really just stung. first supply convoys were getting rarer, then no more planes flying overhead and finally the roads were getting deserted. That was what the German people that hadn't evacuated westwards were faced with, the war grinding down the superpowers of the world and finally getting too expensive, leaving lots of soldiers with lots of guns functionally marooned in their homeland.<br/><br/>sure, the ones at the frontlines would maintain discipline, they still had their original enemies to worry about and couldn't afford to slacken in discipline, but in the back a few cowboys apparently thought they could make like marauders and loot whatever was not tied down.<br/><br/>that was of course something the large number of german volunteers found to be disagreeable, and Rammstein, the famed US airforce base and european stronghold became the site of a new somewhat haphazard coalition of armed civilians, volunteers and a few hardy NATO forces that chose to stay.<br/><br/>This new force would do their very best to clean up the western hinterlands while Wolfrid, one of their speakers, would lead what armor and supplies could be spared east, hopeful to link up with the remaining NATO troops in germany.<br/><br/>"alright, we're making good time as is, we should soon come into their range so get me a radio." the young man told one of the few actual soldiers under his lead, the officers had jumped the sinking ship, leaving any rookie that wasn't in the chopper at three behind, and least of those had particular ambitions to lead.<br/><br/>as he receives the microphone he begins a broadcast to any units on the NATO frequencies.<br/>"all remaining NATO forces in Germany, this is the voice of the resistance, we are not ready to give up, and if we have to hold our homeland together with staples and tape. we're currently dealing with the looters and thieves back in the west but are sending whatever manpower, vehicles and supplies we can spare, we're approaching Frankfurt from the west in US vehicles, kindly don't shoot."
