If this TNO custom event seems familiar, it's because it's an edited and experimental version from the recent US/OFN outcomes for the hypothetical "Fall of Germany" compilation (that don't involve nuclear war). More specifically, the outcome where the Americans give in to vengeance and essentially instigate a "Neo-Morgenthau Plan": wherein the Reich would be dismembered, forcefully defanged, reduced into a glorified agrarian prison, and potentially even worse. While yes, it does mean the Nazis are defeated for good, it also means the near-destruction of the very idea of a German nation, while also possibly laying down the groundwork for something like O M S K to emerge among the disgruntled survivors. In other words, a veritably VERY GOOD IDEA.

For some trivia, the image used for the OFN outcome was taken from the annual Exercise Reforger from the Cold War, specifically around the 1970s. This also extends to the footage being from the same NATO wargames during that timeframe ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DBomnKb46s ), while the "Please Stand By" clip is from here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56eM8DtlEPw ). The recurring bells heard, mirroring the GO4 "German Spring" entries, are from Berlin's Freiheitsglocke ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq3mxFCRcq0 ), albeit far more distorted. And no, I totally didn't slip in a track from Violet Evergarden where you least expect it ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIYi8qhIRvw ), though the last track is a distorted "Over There" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKx9oPyh0KM ).
