25 August 1980 - The Germanic Union invaded the island of Hispaniola today amid claims that both the Dominican Republic and Haiti had failed to prevent continued illegal immigration of their citizens into Reich territories. Following a barrage from the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine, ground forces landed in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Storming ashore, resistance rapidly crumbled in the wake of the world’s most powerful military. The fall of this island places the whole of the Caribbean in German hands.
Analysts give varied reasons as to Germany’s actions. Some point to the sluggish economy with claims that Krause is using this successful campaign to draw attention away from their faltering business sector. Second and most importantly, there are the heightened voices of fanatics within the Party demanding a renewed crusade to wipe out all untermensch beyond their borders. With the growing populations of non-whites surging, especially in Asia, there are fears that Germany will be swallowed by the hordes. Despite calls to invade China, a major source of imports, or Southeast Asia, an area where the Wermacht would have been bogged down, Krause settled on the easiest option.
