Here's a new super event compilation! This time, however, it's a preview for the upcoming Roter Morgen submod for TNO: The Last Days of Europe. ( https://discord.gg/bKrNtMWJ )

After a brutal suppression of the Reichsbanner and student movements, the Revolutionäre Zellen are the only organized resistance left alongside the antifascists to challenge the government. Carefully planning their attacks and revolts, a full-blown proletarian revolution spreads throughout across all German lands, bringing an end to the Reich and from the ruins rises a new dawn for the German people - the Deutsche Volksrepublik.

This republic, led by Markus Wolf, formerly the 'man without a face', spymaster and now guerrilla war hero, which promises to bring the new Red Germany back into the world as a revolutionary superpower, whilst eliminating and recovering from the old regime's brutal atrocities, empowering those who fought against it.

However, new forces arise to export the revolution and ensure de-Nazification, such as the secret police, known as the Stasi and the country's armed forces, the Nationale Volksarmee.

Will this new Red Germany become the main world power, or will it fall like the two previous governments did?

For some trivia, the voiceover at the start is lifted from the Armchair Historian's video on the DDR ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XjXsvz0yMI ), while the subsequent clips range from the German student protests of 1967-86, to the 25th Anniversary festivities of East Germany ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjqHQDjTeLg ) and a TV snippet from East Berlin ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3idLTEmcrY ). There are also snippets of "Einheitsfrontlied", as well ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ptl4pT7Fl1Y ).

And yes the ending clip is from an East German TV sign-off recording, to the tune of "Aufenstanden aus Ruinen" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSYfBYfmR8M ).

And a special thanks to the modders for helping me in making this possible.
