What happens
German radio announced today that traitorous elements of the military have attempted a coup. Following an explosion at the Führer Headquarters which miraculously only slightly injured Hitler and wounded several others, army units attempted to seize control of several government offices in Berlin. News of the German leader's survival spread quickly, and most units under control of the putschists have since returned to their barracks. A number of high-ranking German officers commited suicide in the wake of the failed attempt rather than face the indignity of a trial in front of the infamous "People's Court".
