Officially, Germany didn't have a supply base or milk cow there! Neither were there two milk cows for a last escape north of North America (North-West Passage). However, this last escape was attempted by a German u-boat in 1945, carrying two Japanese officers as passengers and a cargo of uranium, which was intended to be brought to Japan. However, the German u-boat was surrendered by the captain to an American destroyer; the Japanese officers commited suicide, whereas the uranium fell into the hands of the Americans. Ironically, this uranium was used by the Americans in the Manhattan Project nuclear bombs dropped over Japan...
And this Secret Base in the Amazon delta was imagined to be a creation of emigrated Germans to South America, which is true. Many Germans emigrating to America in the 18th, 19th and 20th century didn't all go to North America. A lot went to South America as well. So what if those Germans was sympathetic to the German war effort? So this is just a "what if" creation.
For this map, I'm doing, there will be two versions: One "clean" version for the super-realism freaks, and one "what if" version (for GW-UA) for simple gamers like me! So rest assured, you can get your realistic version too!
For the map progress: I have nearly finished the German expansion into Russia. Then it goes back again... A few Westfront cities needs some corrections too! When this is done, then Europe, Africa, N&S America and Australia are complete; or as good as! One can always find minor adjustments... Westasia is done too, but Eastasia (=China) and Southeast Asia needs work too... Need to find some good material about the war progress there...
