The Strike Witches' Operation Overlord
Prologue:
After writing the Battle of Kursk, I have decided to write another World War 2 large scale battle, this time is Operation Overlord. However there will some slight changes for these following reasons.
The enemy is not the Axis Powers but the neuroi
There is no dictators involved
The nations allied to each other
There is no infantry for the humans to face but these will be replaced with either light tank like neuroi or some small flying neuroi
A few aspects of the original plan will be changed
1. Karlsland and Romagna will be taking part in the battle so you can see a Karlslander private next to a Liberion corporal crouching down for cover on Utah beach. A Romagnan pilot assisting a Britannian Pilot.
2. There will three fictional carriers involved:
2.1. KMS Graf Zeppelin, the main carrier and flagship of the Karlslander Kriegsmarine 1st Fleet based of the unfinished Graf Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier
2.2. KMS Europa, secondary carrier of the Karlslander Kriegsmarine 1st Fleet. It is a conversion of the cruiser liner Europa. (It is bigger that the purpose built Graf Zeppelin)
2.3. ONS Odessa, the flagship of the Orussia Northern Fleet, It is second ship of the Moskava-class aircraft carrier. (Basically a Lexington-class carrier with Russian weapons and planes)
2.4. USS Reprisal , flagship of US Atlantic fleet (Cancelled US Aircraft Carrier)
3. There will some Orussian units such as the navy and naval infantry units present as there was no blockade so the Orussian could send some help but too many since they are busy with their own side of the war
4. Operation Fortitude and Operation Bodyguard will take place just so the neuroi don't know where the assault is coming from
5. The Orussian and Karlslander Government do press for a second front like Stalin did
6. Fusoan Ships and Naval infantry will be present as they were in the anime. They will take part in the battle for the Beaches of Gallia. So expect some Type 97 Chi-Has and Type 95 Ha-Gos fighting along the M4 Shermans and the Panzer IVs or a Takao-class Cruiser bombarding land targets next to a Northampton-class cruiser
7. Fusoans carriers involved:
7.1. IFN Junyō, flagship of the Fusoan 4th Fleet, 2nd ship of the Hiyō-class carrier
7.2. IFN Zuiho, light carrier of the Fusoan 4th Fleet, leadship of the Zuiho-class light carriers.
7.3 IFN Shinano, heavy carrier of the Fusoan 4th Fleet, converted from a Yamato-class battleship hull
8. The 501st Joint Fighter Wing will be involved in the operation because it would weird not to have the most famous joint fighter wing a part of the operation
9. New Magic abilities:
9.1. Sonic Boom, Done by either using voice or breaking the sound barrier the techniques are used mostly by tank witches and air witches respectively. It either damages the neuroi exterior so easier to destroy or shuts down the neuroi
9.2. Blitzkrieg, where the witch will charge at high speed at the enemy neuroi and either smash through it or damage it by knocking out large chucks of the neuroi. This is apparently only available to tank witches primarily the Karlslanders. It has one fault the witch is vulnerable from the sides and the rear
9.3. Blitz, the witch uses magic to create large arrows made of lightning and launch them at the neuroi. These arrows first penetrate the neuroi before exploding.
9.4. Ballistic Lock On works by magically guiding the target straight to the target, the witch and do fire and forget tactics, works with shells and rockets
9.5. Aquaria, the witch is capable of using the force of water to engage the neuroi and since the neuroi beings aren't particularly fond of water this is a good magic to have. It has one fault there must be at least 2 litres of water available to witch for it function properly
9.6. Surf, similar to Aquaria however this more devastating as the witch has to create a wave that will smash the neuroi. It needs at least 500 litres of water available for it to work.
9.7. Stealth, a witch can make herself technically invisible to neuroi, This excellent for photo reconnaissance witches or special forces witches
9.8. Eruption, Witch can use magic to enhance the explosive power of their rounds to make a bigger boom.
9.9. Sandstorm, the magic ability where the witch concur up a sandstorm that disables the neuroi from attacking. Witch can still locate neuroi even in sandstorm however allied units in the sandstorm are not so lucky
9.10 Banzai , works like Blitzkrieg however it requires the witch to use a sword or a bayonet equipped rifle, the witch will be moving at a fast pace however the catch is the witch either cannot deploy shield or can deploy shields but very weak ones. Apparently exclusive to Fusoan tank witches.
9.11 Tsunami , like Surf only ever more destructive, its effects are more destructive if combined with Earthquake. Like Banzai apparently only Fusoan tank witches have this magic ability.
9.12 Kamikaze , works when witch dives straight into enemy target with a shield just like if a witch uses speed boost to smash into a neuroi however in front of the shield there will be magic bubble that when burst it will explode. It is very effective but may cause injury to the witch and damage to the strikers. Similar feature to Banzai and Tsunami only witches who are Fusoan or have Fusoan blood can use it.
9.13 Ballista , it is used by witches by materializing a ballista out of magic which can launch at least 5 magic arrows a minute. The witch become slower as a ballista is heavy.
9.14 Turte , it is created when a witch forms a number of shields that encloses her and anyone close and that protects the witch and her nearby friends.
9.15 Cyclone, the witch makes a violent column of rapid moving air either to propel her forward or to disrupt the neuroi attack.
10. The Karlslander and Romagnan Air Units and Naval Units are fictitious as in the real battle they didn't do much in fact they weren't even there well except for the JG 26. The Orussians and Fusoans will have fictitious units as well since they were not supposed to be there in the first place.
11. Fictional Aircraft:
11.1. F-51 Sea Mustang, naval version of the P-51 Mustang
11.2. F-38 Sea Lightning, naval version of the P-38 Lightning
11.3. F-47 Sea Thunderbolt, naval version of the P-47 Thunderbolt
11.4. B-17G/R an AWACs version of the B-17G, it can detect neuroi and guide fighters and witches to the targets
11.5. Yak-9A, naval version of the Yak-9U
11.6. IL-2A Shturmovik, naval version of the IL-2 Shturmovik
11.7. La-7A, naval version of the La-7
12. Katherine Litvyak will make an appearance as she transferred to the 501st JFW. She is the overall commander of all Allied Air Forces in the European Sector and Commander of Orussian Forces in Western Europe
13. General Dimitri Petrenko, is the deputy commander of Orussian Forces in Western Europe
14. Trevor Maloney will not be in the story as he is just based off Sir Trafford Leigh Mallory. Sir Trafford Leigh Mallory however will be in the story but I reduced his role slightly
15. Again the SS units will be replaced with the KKE units
16. Again the weapons the witches are using will the exact same weapons the vehicles their striker units are based on had. These weapons again will light enough so that 2 two healthy average men can carry. Some may have two options like the Thunderbolt, Mosquito and the Typhoon. Some may have infantry weapons
17. Again the weapons and equipment of the battle will be of that were available to the Allied Forces at the time of the operation
18. The Atlantic Wall will be there but the fortifications will the neuroified version of themselves
19. The "Funnies" will be involved in the story and this will extend to the strikers so if you read of a witch in diving gear and in watertight striker, don't fire flak at me.
20. The enemy neuroi is going to be World War 2 and Cold War French and Soviet real world or experiment vehicles and aircrafts.
21. Ranks are American for the Liberions while the Orussians, Fusoans, Karlslanders, Romagnans, Farawaylanders and Britannians will follow British ranks.
I hope that I once again make you interested in this story. Now for the main characters

I do not own anything here but my OC obviously
Now let's begin
