Detailed walkthrough of Hearts of Iron 4 for the Third Reich (historical)

Act 1. Anschluss

The first and most important thing with which you have to start the path of the Great German Reich is with the Anschluss of Austria, you will have only one choice, there are no others, you will have to include Austria in your composition, How can you say that Austria is not Germany?
Welcome to the Reich!

Act 2. Bohemian heritage

We continue to build National Socialism in our still young Reich, now we have to divide Czechoslovakia, but first we have to take the Sudetenland, namely the Sudetenland where the population is predominantly German, we again have one choice, when we have the Sudetenland, you can appropriate the entire Czech Republic! We have three options and we choose only one, the top one Make Slovakia a puppet state

Act Ⅲ - Breakup of Yugoslavia

After successful expansion in Austria and Czechoslovakia, it's time to move to the South, namely the Balkans, where we will first take Slovenia for ourselves, It's time to decide the fate of Yugoslavia, We choose the option that in the middle Make Croatia a puppet. Annex the rest.

Germany showed its power in Europe

Then we have the rest of the territories of Yugoslavia and we make the remaining states independent, first we let go of Serbia, but with the condition that shenow it will be our puppet Well, we are also making the last state from Yugoslavia (Herzegovina) independent, but by convention that it will also be our puppet. And such a picture appears in the Balkans, it turns out quite beautifully.

Act 4. Transylvanian question

Now we need to deal with Hungary and Romania because they can't decide whose Transylvania is but it doesn't matter when there is a Reich, we will decide it for them, We choose the top option, Transfer Northern Transylvania to Hungary
This is how we get it, though not as beautiful as in the Balkans, but it will do.

Act 5. Remains of a great civilization

It's time to decide the fate of Greece, this time we won't get any territories but it's not so important Now we choose the top option Let's make Bulgaria our debtor.

At this time, we confirm all the claims of Bulgaria, their opinion is important to us because they are our future members of our Axis alliance.

Another nuance with Greece, do not forget to get permission from Bulgaria for the right of passage of your troops, after permission near Greece, place your troops so that she agrees to an ultimatum. But still, sometimes she doesn’t accept an ultimatum and you have to fight with her, but don’t worry, she’s rather weak in a month, you will definitely capture her, after that you will still have the territories of Greece and we transfer them to Italy, because we don’t need them.

Act6. Back to Poland

Polanda tidbit, we get a lot of equipment from it, as well as plants and factories.

Usually in the division of Poland, the USSR does not attack, but the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is still worth studying because the USSR can attack you at any moment.

We choose the upper option, if we choose another one that is lower than the option, then the USSR will attack us.

Act 7. Furious Napoleon

So the time has come to deal with France, our old enemy, this battle was legendary, after our blitzkrieg, Paris fell like all of France.

Another victory for Waterfly!

We choose the option: Establish a Vichy government in France.

Act 8. Conclusion

I won’t procrastinate about the USSR for a long time, I’ll tell you this, we take only all of Ukraine except Crimea and the entire Baltic with Belarus, we make Reichskommissariats there, and we also make the entire Caucasus independent. Do not forget to proclaim the Great German Reich when taking Moscow, Leningrad and Stalingrad.
