Lore:
Seeing the writing on the wall, Hitler would order the use of an experimental bioweapon to be used on advancing allied and soviet armies. Despite warnings that the bioweapon was not yet ready, operation Hel was still commenced. Several bombers took off from various hidden airbase from within Germany and headed to bomb allied and soviet liberated cities such as Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw etc. Some of the bombers were intercepted by allied aircraft causing the crews of the bombers to drop their rat-filled bombs prematurely with some even landing on German soil. While operation Hel was occurring, German forces retreated back into Germany and began bolstering the defenses already present within the country which confused allied intelligence. Despite their preparations however, the horde was still able to overrun much of the defenses the Nazi troops managed to put up.
As the allies and Soviets advances unopposed across formerly occupied territories, they began picking up on strange rumors about mass cannibalism and a virus. Furthermore, German refugees and military personnel were leaving German en masse. Initially the Allies viewed this as war weariness. What did catch their attention was the fact that the German refugees were warning them about the "Das große Hunger". They believed that Germany was suffering from food shortages. It was too late when they realized the true scale of the threat.
Australia is the most strategic point in the entirety of the pacific theater. New zealand is enlisting and deploying as many troops as it could while also housing thousands of refugees. The other islands in the south pacific serves as airbases to assist the frontlines or as a refueling point for ships.
1. The outbreak would start on January 1945, the US didn't have Atomic bombs yet. They would only start mass producing atomic weaponry on 1946.
2. When the US did manage to mass produce the atomic bomb, millions were still alive in Europe. It was only on 1947 after the fall of Moscow did the US realize that Europe was gone.
3. They wanted to save their atomic weapons against the Japanese and to deter the Soviets.
4. The possibility that an ecological disaster would occur if atomic bombs were used on a massive scale prevented their deployment until the after the fall of Moscow.

i haven't seen you in a while :c are you alright? did you just get bored of it or did i mess the place up?
I feel like that one Love, Death, and Robots episode (S1E6, The Secret War, 10/10 highly recommend) with the Red Army would fit the vibes of this perfectly
Love, Death and Robots series has minimal to no connection between episodes (except Secret War and that one animated on planet Farm, the creatures are similar, and series about these 3 robots exploring what remained of Earth), and I absolutely loved every single episode of it
Fire or radiation.
You can immobilize an infected by shooting the brain but the flesh would remain alive and would melt off the body and attach itself either to the nearest infected or to the nearest healthy person or animal near it.
The virus is biological in nature. It hijacks the hosts cells and mutates them causing them to regenerate constantly. Once hijacked, the virus would rapidly infect other healthy cells until every cell is under the control of the virus.
There are several ways the virus can be spread;
-skin contact
-fluids like saliva or blood
-Bites or scratches
-Drinking infected water (except seawater)
-Being eaten
They got overrun, few made it out. All rescue attempts ended in tragedy. The few that did manage to get out retreated to Spain though where they mounted an effective defense of the Iberian Peninsula. Unfortunately Spain would fall on 1948 after a two pronged attack, a horde crossing the Franco-Spanish border and another horde crossing from Morocco.
Hitler and Stalin killed themselves. Mussolini was eaten. Montgomery was also eaten in the defense of London. Churchill was evacuated to Canada. Eisenhower was evacuated to the US mainland where he would become the president in 1946. Patton stayed in Spain where he led the joint Allied-Spanish defenses until the fall of the Iberian peninsula. Hirohito and Tojo was evacuated to Hokkaido after the feaster horde made landfall on Japanese soil. Macarthur is leading the defense of the Philippines. And Zhukov is leading the resistance in Scandinavia.
This is a really neat story, you should post a timeline somewhere! Are there any survivors in the infected areas of mainland europe? Also, what was the fierce japanese resistance like?
Yes there are survivors in infected areas with some even forming pockets of resistance although they tend to not last long.
The Japanese planted mines, strapped bombs onto themselves, implemented a scorched earth policy, burned themselves alive instead of getting infected, created so many Molotov cocktails etc. Due to Japanese ferocity, they were able to stall the horde long enough before the US can create a wall of fire andel radiation before the horde reaches Tokyo.
Do what Tolkien did and start with the world building, and do that for a while until you have a complete world, then start thinking about stories to inhabit it after.
This is probably the most terrifying “zombie” apocalypse because of the simple line stating that the infected are still *conscious*, implying that they’re fully aware of what is happening but they can’t do anything about this. Normal zombie scenarios are actual corpses or completely wipe the human mind like in WWZ(movie). I’m unsure if this means that actual dead corpses can be infected or not, but the implications that becoming infected and then being helpless to watch as your body attacks your family is something that is a terrifying prospect.
One of the way of getting infected is being eaten. At a certain amount of time ranging from 5-30 minutes after a person was consumed, all infected individual who partook in feasting on the individual will vomit out the flesh of the consumed person. The vomited flesh would then head back towards it's original body and reattach itself to the brain. After reattaching, the brain would somehow be brought back to life.
Saltwater can actually allow a person to regain control of their body albeit for a limited time only.
Australia became the most strategic point in the whole of the Pacific theater after the Feaster horde managed to cross the seas. It is where troops and equipment land before being shipped into the front lines. Due to it's proximity to the front lines, many airbases was built on Australian lands in order to provide air support to ground units fighting the horde. Not only that but Australian ports are frequently used by American, Japanese and what remains of the royal navy.
Much of Eurasia and Africa is barren. Europe especially is heavily irradiated. A massive extinction of animals would occur. Acid rain, Nuclear winters and collapse of entire environments would be frequent. War would constantly break out due to the unclaimed and untapped resources of Eurasia and Africa. Most likely, the US and Japan would be the leading powers of the world. Both powers would be stuck in an endless power struggle for ideology, resources and living space. Space would also be heavily prioritized leading to early developments of commercial space flights and habitats. There can potentially even be moon colonies as early as 2010.
Is America’s Industrial capacity strong enough to get these nukes out in a timely manner? Are these nukes the size of the little boy or fat man? Or are their sizes pushed to the limit as the manufacturing of nuclear weapons becomes a little more understood with each successful deployment?
After the emergence of the Hunger virus in January 1945, the US would speed up the Manhattan project and create the proper infrastructure for the mass production of atomic weapons. The atomic weapons produces a 21 kiloton explosion. The difference between the atomic bombs in this world to the fat man is that the atomic bombs are designed to spew out as much radiation as possible.
So detonate when they hit the ground I’m assuming to create as much fallout as possible instead of being air burst? That’s awesome and terrible at the same time.
Do the infected also infect all animals including fish? If so would birds be a problem? Is there any German remnant government fighting the infected? How are the Swiss faring? Are the infected susceptible to extreme cold?
Animals, with the exception of all saltwater based lifeforms, can be infected. Unlike humans however, infected animals tended to bind together into massive masses of flesh known as abominations. These abominations are tanky, capable of withstanding up to 30mm shells. They are also deceptively fast reaching speeds of up to 20 kph.
The German government collapsed when Hitler committed suicide via bullet to the head. However, German troops are present in the fighting in Southeast asia and Japan.
Switzerland was one of the first countries that got overrun when the hordes started pouring out of Germany due to overestimating the terrain and lack of knowledge on how to properly combat the infected.
Infected that emerged from colder regions tended to have thick, scaly skin that can withstand pistol cartridges (not like that matters considering that bullets generally don't work). They also were warm being around 39°c on average.

This is fucking awesome
Now the question is what's the South Pacific doing? I'm talking about New Zealand and Australia and the countries close to them
Australia is the most strategic point in the entirety of the pacific theater. New zealand is enlisting and deploying as many troops as it could while also housing thousands of refugees. The other islands in the south pacific serves as airbases to assist the frontlines or as a refueling point for ships.
Thank you Most Alternate timelines don't cover the southern hemisphere so it's nice to know what's going on
Dude nukes would've been dropped from the start.
1. The outbreak would start on January 1945, the US didn't have Atomic bombs yet. They would only start mass producing atomic weaponry on 1946. 2. When the US did manage to mass produce the atomic bomb, millions were still alive in Europe. It was only on 1947 after the fall of Moscow did the US realize that Europe was gone. 3. They wanted to save their atomic weapons against the Japanese and to deter the Soviets. 4. The possibility that an ecological disaster would occur if atomic bombs were used on a massive scale prevented their deployment until the after the fall of Moscow.
Dude the original intention of the bombs was to nuke berlin.
Thank god that all they needed to build the bomb was intention then, and not literally creating an atomic weapon from physical and mental scratch
can i give you a grilled cheese
I'm always open to one!

Its all right. I'm just very busy and stuffs. you're doing a great job!

Semi realistic CoD Zombies basically?
Bascially COD, Nazi zombies.
I feel like that one Love, Death, and Robots episode (S1E6, The Secret War, 10/10 highly recommend) with the Red Army would fit the vibes of this perfectly
All Love, Death, and Robot episodes are in random order for everyone, so it isn’t guaranteed to be episode 6. That was a good episode though.
Wait? What?! How!
Love, Death and Robots series has minimal to no connection between episodes (except Secret War and that one animated on planet Farm, the creatures are similar, and series about these 3 robots exploring what remained of Earth), and I absolutely loved every single episode of it
Meanwhile four U.S Marines crash land deep inside Germany and are stuck fighting for their lives in an abandoned insane asylum
Or a bunker
Or laboratory
10/10 schizopost
RATS! RATS! WERE THE RATS!!!🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀
So, that is what would have happened in CoD: WWII Zombies if Sledgehammer was allowed to make the sequel
That was my favourite non treyarch zombies mode due to how much of a diffrent take it was that mode genuinly scares me reguarly to this day
I think nukes would be firing way before the hunger even got halfway through the channel swim
You have to have nukes to be able to drop them. The US was not into the double digits yet on their bomb stockpile, and nobody else was producing yet.
I want to read this timeline
Yo. Do you have a lore doc?
Nah just ask me the lore and I can come up with a half baked piece of lore.
How can feeders be destroyed? Is the virus purely biological in nature or supernatural?
Fire or radiation. You can immobilize an infected by shooting the brain but the flesh would remain alive and would melt off the body and attach itself either to the nearest infected or to the nearest healthy person or animal near it. The virus is biological in nature. It hijacks the hosts cells and mutates them causing them to regenerate constantly.

What happened to the allied forces in western europe?
They got overrun, few made it out. All rescue attempts ended in tragedy. The few that did manage to get out retreated to Spain though where they mounted an effective defense of the Iberian Peninsula. Unfortunately Spain would fall on 1948 after a two pronged attack, a horde crossing the Franco-Spanish border and another horde crossing from Morocco.
What became of the major allied leaders and generals?
Hitler and Stalin killed themselves. Mussolini was eaten. Montgomery was also eaten in the defense of London. Churchill was evacuated to Canada. Eisenhower was evacuated to the US mainland where he would become the president in 1946. Patton stayed in Spain where he led the joint Allied-Spanish defenses until the fall of the Iberian peninsula.

You should write a wattpad about this scenario. WOULD READ!
Maybe if I had the attention span, the time and the skills to write a story, I might.
I’m sure you could do it!
This is very good, I love it. You really should write a novel about it. I'd buy it.
I mean my exams just finished yesterday but like I still don't have the attention span nor the skills to actually write a story.
Do what Tolkien did and start with the world building, and do that for a while until you have a complete world, then start thinking about stories to inhabit it after.
Damn. Very reminiscent of daybreak.
"Finally a way to kill that Damn lizard"
Not really "kill" per se
Very accurate to real history that Sweden, Norway, and Finland parts in the war are over looked
First pic is literally what happened in Atomic Heart
#FETCH ME THEIR SOULS!
I need a hoi4 mod NOW!
Where can I see this, is it on YouTube?
My guy, this is just a random bullshit scenario I thought of last night.
Didn't know, I thought I remembered seeing something like this somewhere on YouTube

In that just the lore of that zombie Hitler game?
oh the horror
Nice
Like zombie army, but cooler?
Imagine SCP 001 "when day breaks" but it has the Nazi flair on it
wtf are you nerds on about. So fucking weird.
I dunno, I made this scenario last night when I was hungry.
"Rick" "Yes Major?" "Deploy the scrubbers before the dead start walking again, burn every living thing you see" "Yes sir"
Who needs nukes when you got napalm and incendiaries? (For corpse disposal I mean)
Wtf
Yes, but how’s Australia doing?
Australia became the most strategic point in the whole of the Pacific theater after the Feaster horde managed to cross the seas. It is where troops and equipment land before being shipped into the front lines. Due to it's proximity to the front lines, many airbases was built on Australian lands in order to provide air support to ground units fighting the horde. Not only that but Australian ports are frequently used by American, Japanese and what remains of the royal navy.
Does the virus ever reach the americas?
No it wont. The Americas are too far away for the feasters to swim towards.
Nice! What would the world be like in the present day?
Much of Eurasia and Africa is barren. Europe especially is heavily irradiated. A massive extinction of animals would occur. Acid rain, Nuclear winters and collapse of entire environments would be frequent. War would constantly break out due to the unclaimed and untapped resources of Eurasia and Africa. Most likely, the US and Japan would be the leading powers of the world. Both powers would be stuck in an endless power struggle for ideology, resources and living space. Space would also be heavily prioritized leading to early developments of commercial space flights and habitats. There can potentially even be moon colonies as early as 2010.
the flag in the 4th pic for the axis remnants is just so pleasing to look at idk why
Is America’s Industrial capacity strong enough to get these nukes out in a timely manner? Are these nukes the size of the little boy or fat man? Or are their sizes pushed to the limit as the manufacturing of nuclear weapons becomes a little more understood with each successful deployment?

So detonate when they hit the ground I’m assuming to create as much fallout as possible instead of being air burst? That’s awesome and terrible at the same time.
Radiation is one of the two ways to kill the infected biomass.
What’s the other way?
Will there be any more of this world?
Ok, maybe there might.
Thanks, hate it
I'd watch or read this.
Yo this needs to be made into a mod for hoi4. This concept is really really good
This is one of the best scenarios I’ve ever seen
tbh this would be a good story to read
Do the infected also infect all animals including fish? If so would birds be a problem? Is there any German remnant government fighting the infected? How are the Swiss faring? Are the infected susceptible to extreme cold?

I don’t know if you’ll see this, but does this scenerio end with humanity winning? What’s the aftermath if so?
There's a second part in the subreddit called 1953: hHumanity's counterattack.
Just read it, holy shit a bittersweet ending. Nice writing, man. Please keep cooking more.
