Berlin 1933. “Adolf Hitler is chancellor!” We all know the consequences this message bore. Unspeakable horrors and suffering would sweep across the world. Few would stand and fight the monstrosity that was the German Reich. Will you? Lead an underground resistance group Through the Darkest of Times.
[b]Giebelstadt/Berlin, April 28th, 2020[/b]: The dice have been cast, and the stars have aligned, Through the Darkest of Times is a winner, baby!
