Interestingly enough, this isn't the first time I've tackled zombies on the channel. What makes it different this time is that ordinarily those zombies aren't in uniform! The Totenkorps would be a colossal tar pit and overwhelming threat to Allied morale in the winter of 1947, helping the Axis forces to stem the tide of an Allied invasion into the German heartland. Fearless, tireless, and inured to pain, the shambling hordes of the Totenkorps seemed at first a perfect weapon... but even the dead are not truly limitless, and before long the Allies would find ways to counter even the horror of their own dead turned against them. Nonetheless, Totenkorps remain a powerful asset to an Axis commander in Konflikt '47 - your opponent will need to figure out how to either obliterate or contain this implacable threat!
