The Fall of Washington

Fighting in the area of Washington D.C. came to an end today, when the last pockets of resistance in the city were eliminated by German forces advancing along the Potomac. A dense layer of smoke hangs over the city, and at least some of it reportedly comes from OSS agents who were burning sensitive documents up until the very last moment. A Waffen-SS detachment secured the White House after a brief firefight with members of the US Secret Service, but it is believed that the President was safely evacuated several days ago. The fall of the American capital illustrates the terrible might of the German war machine.
