What happens

Reports have arrived that Himmler has called the upper leadership of the SS to Wewelsburg castle for urgent consultations. The exact contents of these consultations are unknown, but it stands to reason that they are connected to the continued frustrations of Himmler with the leadership of the party. the German leader still seems to follow the advice of the Wehrmacht when it comes to military matters, blocking Himmler's attempts at creating and expanding an independent armed force as a counterweight. Rumor has it that Himmler has instead turned his attention towards creating what he calls "a new Order of Teutonic Knights for a new Germany". These "Knights" swear fanatical loyalty and unquestioning obedience to Himmler personally and are each gifted a sword made to Himmler's design from steel blessed in old Germanic rituals - presumably to slay the enemies of the New Germany.
