just a few reamrks:

- the borders of the "red spot" are enourmous, i dare say ridiculous (merging different nations too)

- how would the "red spot" be resupplied?? i didn't know in '45 europe was so rich of goods to be stockpiled

- who would be ready to move there in '45?? apart from few fanatics, i can't see so many volunteers for this ultimate crusade. in fact, a mass suicide.

- i can't even see the concept of defending german homeland, moving into the "red spot" would mean abandon homeland's capital to the soviets.

- people moving there would be just fanatics, worshipers of hitler's cult of personality, in facts idiots with no skills at all: no techinicians, no good militaries, just bla bla bla fanatics

- the "red spot" would become just a mass grave.... it riminds me of Waco massacre in '93

- and what about the people already living in the "red spot" area? what was the nazi plan for them?

- finally, allied commanders considered this option like any other military option: but it's normal, it's their job!! but to me the "red spot" scenario is simply out of touch with reality. but nevertheless it's funny!!!

Now i can't wait to face another masterpiece of nazi humor: the deportation of the jews in madagascar. who's gonna start ?
Well, this is a what if afterall. Actually, guerilla warfare is not as complicated and difficult as you make it out to be. A man fighting for his country against an invader is a better fighter than a soldier who is paid to fight for his country. This is fact. Guns and ammo, just pick up from the dead enemy soldiers. This type of fighting has been done for years. Don't write off the redoubt.
