The War That Transcends Timelines! 16 Black Skulls

19:15

'I cannot let these Prisoners escape! They are a danger to the Reich's interests.' Himmler Thought to himself. ''Increase the speed of the bombardment, do not conserve any ammunition, I WANT THEM DEAD!.'' Himmler said to his Generalleutnant, ''Sir yes Sir, expect friendly casualties to increase!'' the Generalleutnant replied.

'I cannot give leeway to my enemies, I have to sacrifice a few soldiers for the greater good.' Himmler apologized in his head to the soldiers who were going to die.

19:30

''Sir Himmler, we have conformation of a large infantry unit heading our way, unknown if it is friendly or foe!'' the Generalleutnant reported. ''The enemy at the castle's entrance will perish soon, send in that tanks Generalleutnant!'' Himmler requested. ''Heil Hitler!'' Generalleutnant said before heading towards the radio station to contact the 1st SS-Panzer regiment. 'A pity you all denied working in a more 'safe' environment, causing your own deaths.' Himmler thought to himself. ''Sir 1st SS-Panzer regiment will be there, ETA 3 minutes.'' the Generalleutnant reported.

'Peculiar, it seems that the enemy has split into 3 parts,' Himmler was in deep thought before ordering the Generalleutnant:''Send in 250 infantry towards the heavy weapons depot and 250 to the vehicle depot, I want the other 500 SS-Grenadiers to concentrate on the Castle's entrance!''

With these orders did the SS-Army that Himmler brought with him start to march towards the enemy.

19:45

''Sir Himmler, a status update on the assault, we have lost 100 men at the heavy weapons depot, but have managed to hold the enemy in that position, 200 men have been lost at the vehicle depot, but we are still assaulting it fiercely. We have lost 320 men at the Castle entrance, but have managed to almost completely annihilate the enemy, we count only 4 enemies left. Sir!'' The Generalleutnant reported to Himmler.

''Good keep pushing the assault on the vehicle depot, we cannot let our weaponry fall into enemy hands!'' Himmler replied. ''Understood Sir, HEIL HITLER!'' the Generalleutnant shouted before heading back. 'I will make you all pay for trying to escape my prison!' Himmler said to himself.

19:50

'BOOM!' ''SIR HIMMLER RUN! ACHTUNG! FEINDE! AAAAHHHH'' In less than 5 minutes did the completely save Artillery position turn into a battlefield of hell. ''Himmler! Take your guards and leave the area, contact the 3rd SS Police to send reinforcements! I'll stay here to ward of the enemies!'' the Generalleutnant shouted towards Himmler before running towards the front.'Who are they? What are they here for? These men are elite fighters comparable to even the most elite SS-men!' Himmler was in deep thought as he was trying to figure out his enemy. When suddenly 20 Pz.Kpfw I with the SS logo started to charge towards the enemy, ''The 2nd SS-Panzer regiment has arrived Himmler!'' The SS-Hauptmann shouted from a top of his tank.

But the enemies weren't stupid, they all pushed their MP40s and Kar98ks back on their back and each took out an anti-tank rifle! The 20 Pz. Kpfw Is couldn't withstand the power of 800 Anti-tank rifle bullets descending upon them. The look of the SS-Hauptmann was grim as he watched the enemy pull out their anti-tank rifles, ''RETREAT!'' the SS-Hauptmann shouted, but to no avail, he watched in pain as his fellow comrades tanks were pierced and killed in an instant, some ammunition storages were hit causing the entire tank to be engulfed in flames. In less than 1 minute did the entire 2nd SS-Panzer regiment disappear from the face of the earth.

'Who are these soldiers?!?' Himmler's thoughts were in disarray as he tried to figure out his enemies.'they have a special type of helmet, thicker than ours, but it seems to even stop the 20mm bullets of the Pz.kpfw I to not be able to penetrate. Black standard heavy-duty gas mask, but it seems that the glass is reinforced to stop shrapnel and small arms fire, a white skull was painted on top of the gasmask. Black coloured trench coat, with a multitude of pockets for the carrying of items. heavy duty all terrain boots. Each soldier carries either a MP40 a Kar98k or a MG34. Side arms contain a Mauser C96 pistol and Anti-tank rifle. Other utilities are unknown.' The more Himmler analysed his enemies the graver his face becomes. 'These are top military grade items, the Wehrmacht doesn't sell these to outsiders, even if desperate!'

The SS-men fight bravely, showing that they weren't the typical soldier, but under a stricter and more heavily armed opponent did it finally show that they were not their match. Morale started to drop as some men were trying to flee the onslaught of the enemy. Himmler already boarded his car together with his officers before heading off with a military escort. And when the SS-Soldiers realized this did their resistance completely stop. at 19:55 the artillery position was finally conquered by the unknown enemy.

Mackensen POV:

''Dammit Gunther! We won't be able to leave the Weapons depot like this!'' Mackensen shouted towards Gunther who was at the other entrance trying to fight off the enemies. ''I know Old man! But they have completely surrounded us!'' Gunther replied as he shot Soldier after soldier down.

''ENEMY TANKS INCOMING!'' The soldiers on top of the roof shouted downwards. ''Quickly Get the anti-tank rifles!'' Gunther commanded his men. 2 soldiers ran off to get anti-tank rifles, but when they came back with dejected faces did Gunther and Mackensen know they were in deep trouble

Heavy fire descended upon Gunther's and Mackensen's position. As the 20mm autocannon hurled bullets towards them. 'We can't keep this up, we only have artillery and machine guns in the depot, anti-tank rifles have long since been out of use in the German Wehrmacht.' Mackensen thought to himself.

Soldier after soldier got injured, their protective cover was blown to bits by the powerful 20mm autocannon. when suddenly 'Chink' 'BOOM!' One of the enemy tank's ammunition storages got hit and completely exploded the tank. When 5 seconds later again 'Chink' 'BOOM!' The second tank exploded into flames.

The enemy stopped in their tracks as they looked in horror as their tanks were blown to bits. Then suddenly a soldier screamed in horror, we all looked in the direction he was looking at. There stood a mighty metal beast, smoke still coming from the massive 10,5 cm Kw.K. L/70 gun. It was massive, besides the tank were black figures, all carrying a black trenchcoat, heavy-duty gas mask and boots, a white skull was painted on their gas masks in white. They aimed their Guns towards the enemy as did the Metal beast, It was as if time stood still, no sound just the visual of the tank's barrel moving backwards when firing, the MG34s spewing out Bullets, grenades being thrown towards the German soldiers, it was a one-sided slaughter, as the enemy has no time to react. In less than 1 minute did all enemies die and did the rain of bullets finally stop.

A massive engine noise and large amounts of smoke suddenly come into existence as the massive Maybach HL 234 TRM P72, 1000Hp came to life and started roaring. Mackensen and Gunther with the other soldiers just had their mouths right open is the Tank and soldiers started to walk past them towards the Castle's entrance. On top of the tank there was a young man, but looking at his rank almost made men faint Oberst (Colonel), 'At such a young age already Oberst, what hell did he experience to gain such a rank.' Mackensen thought as he looked at the young man in the commander seat of the tank. The men following behind the Tank all had an aurora of Death and Destruction behind them, their body language shows strength and weariness, but also intelligence and loyalty. 'To train such soldier requires large financial capabilities and a fine connection to recruitment programs.' Mackensen analysed the soldiers walking past him.

Since they were heading towards the entrance they followed behind them. after walking less than 5 minutes, did the commander's look on his face change from composed and rational to complete and utter rage, because right in front of the commander he can see Kyle Weiss on his knees, pointing a pistol against his head. The young commander immediately grabbed the 20mm Autocannon that is attached to a ring around the commander's hatch, allowing easy movement, and aimed it at the soldiers in front, unleashing hell upon them, but skillfully avoiding Kyle in the middle.

The commander jumped out and started to run towards Kyle, whilst shouting his name, but you can clearly see that Kyle was on his last legs, and fainted due to exhaustion.

Tears started to stream down the young commanders face as he quickly grabbed him. He ordered medics who looked just like the soldiers but had white trench coats on, instead of black ones.

'it seems that your colour represents your abilities and or group.' Mackensen noted down. Mackensen glanced one more time towards Kyle before looking over to the vehicle depot. he beckoned Gunther and the soldiers over, before saying:''Wolfram isn't back, neither are the other soldier, let's quickly go rescue them before it is to late!''
