| - September - October, 1941 - German 2nd Panzer Army under General Heinz Guderian's command captures Smolensk and is about to launch the final assault to Moscow when he is ordered to turn south toward Kiev to reinforce the 17th Army and 6th Army of Army Group South, because the OKH --the German Army High Command-- wants to destroy the bulk of Soviet forces concentrated in and around the city. Disobeying his orders, Guderian continues his advance and Moscow is taken by Christmas 1941. Due his insubordination, Guderian is removed from duty. The remnants of the Red Army are pushed back beyond the Ural Mountains --which becomes the new Soviet border. Before the occupation of Moscow Premier Joseph Stalin and his staff has been evacuated. The new USSR capital is to be established in Vladivostok. September 1942 - After the Battle of Alam El Halfa Field Marshal Erwin Rommel tooks ill. When he is in Germany recovering from his health problems, he suggests Guderian to the OKH as the only one who could replace him temporarily in Africa. Reluctantly, Hitler agrees with one condition: after his recovering Rommel shall command the German forces in the Eastern front. Rommel accepts Hitler's terms. December 2, 1942 - University of Chicago. CP-1, (Chicago pile-1), the world's first artificial nuclear reactor, designed by the renowned Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, with the collaboration of Leo Szilard, discoverer of the chain reaction, is ready for a demonstration before a group of dignitaries. The pile reaches the critical mass for self-sustaining reaction at 3:25 p.m. A critical accident happens during the demonstration when a nuclear chain reaction accidentally occurs in the fissile material contained in the pile --in this case, enriched uranium-- after a young scientist named George Weil worked the final control rod. This releases neutron radiation which is highly dangerous to humans and causes induced radioactivity in the surroundings. Fermi --who is monitoring the neutron activity-- immediately realizing what has happened quickly shut down the device, unfortunately too late to avoid that himself and the rest of scientists and dignitaries nearby receives a fatal dose of radiation. Enrico Fermi dies due to the effects of the radiation poisoning seven days later. Leo Szilard succumbs 20 hours after Fermi's death. The delay caused by the death of two major scientists of Manhattan Project causes that nuclear weaponry isn't available for the US to be used in Second World War. March 13, 1943 - Operation Spark --a plan designed by German anti-Nazis officers Colonel Henning von Tresckow and Lieutenant Fabian von Schlabrendorff-- succeeds and Adolf Hitler dies when a hidden bomb destroys his aircraft. Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, second in command and Hitler's nominal successor, becomes the new Führer. He wants to reach an armistice with the Allies, but when he knows the notice SS-Obergruppenführer and Bohemia-Moravia Reichsprotektor Reinhard Heydrich --who has survived his 1942 assassination in Czechoslovakia in this timeline-- wants to continue the war "until the last breath", and claims Göring is a traitor. A civil war in the Third Reich is coming.
