In 1943 following the loss in Africa, the NSDAP had reinforced their lands in the Netherlands and began planning for a counterattack into Germany to divert the main Italian, Spanish, and HRE armies from Austria and to create a two front offensive. However, as the war dragged on and France seemed to be growing more interested in joining the war, Jimmy Martin had decided to send 35% of his army from Austria to reinforce the Netherlands in case of a French attack.
During this time, several plans to attack and capture Paris in a short manner were made, and nearly executed had the Austrian offensive not been proven a disaster for the NSDAP.
Eventually, a Hungarian army had tried to push in and retake Cologne after using France as a way to flank the NSDAP, but this move was expected, and the Hungarian army was quickly defeated by the NSDAP. During this counteroffensive, Joachim Peiper a Novus Ordo SS officer had defected and killed 84 NSDAP prisoners in Malmedy before officially joining the Imperial Army.
After this victory, the NSDAP was nearly ready to launch a massive counterattack and hit the Imperial army from behind, but the war was declared over. Even after the war was over, the Netherlands remained a fiercely NSDAP area, and they had put up a strong resistance movement which lasted until 1948 when the Imperial army led by Kaiser Francis decisively defeated them.
