Sky Captain and the Scourge from the Reich

A fan fiction

Chapter One

The year is 1941 and the world as we know it has been thrust into utter turmoil. Rising from its once devastated state, Germany, led by young and ambitious Adolf Hitler, has broken the rules of the set upon by the Treaty of Versailles and rebuilt its military power to an alarming degree. Before action could be taken, the Nazi military regime quickly struck against Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands and France in a show of extreme force. Aided by other dubious allies, Germany begun to spread its dark rule over Europe in a plan to create a Third Reich, a kingdom ruled by Hitler for one thousand years. However, there were those who would not submit to such a heinous rule. Great Britain has managed to keep the Nazi army clear from its shores, enduring deep scars from both aerial bombardment and the terrors of Hitler's Vengeance rockets. Britain's greatest claim over the Axis was its stunning victory over the German Air Force, the Luftwaffe, during the Battle of Britain, fending off a German air attack with its own air forces. Across the Atlantic, the United States was emerging from its isolationist state after the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan. The United States war machine went into high gear, producing massive amounts or war materiel in preparation to fight both Japan and Germany, who declared war on the States after the Pearl Harbor attack, as per the treaty agreements with Japan.

It would be several years before the Allies would make successful advances through enemies forces, years before the storming of Normandy and the Marine landings on Guadalcanal. However, no one realized how close the Allies came from being completely annihilated from a most sinister plan, one that would have spelled doom not only for Europe, but for the entire world. Such a plan would have occurred if it were not for the skill, prowess and bravery of Sky Captain Joseph Sullivan and his Flying Legions.
