What happens
After hours of street warfare, much of it reportedly against armed irregulars, German spearheads have advanced into New York City and taken control of the city. Improvised anti-tank barriers placed along Fifth Avenue proved ineffective, and Panzergrenadiers fought their way through Manhattan, block by block. Fires have been raging out of control in the eastern parts of the city for several days now, lighting up the skyline at night. The Statue of Liberty was decapitated by a stray artillery round, though which side fired it remains a matter of dispute.
