Overview:
Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany, is a country in Central Europe. It is bordered to the north by the North Sea, Denmark, and the Baltic Sea; to the east by Poland and the Czech Republic; to the south by Austria and Switzerland; and to the west by France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The territory of Germany covers 357,021 square kilometers and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. With 82 million inhabitants, it accounts for the largest population among the member states of the European Union and is home to the third-largest number of international migrants worldwide.

 A region named Germania inhabited by several Germanic peoples has been known and documented before AD 100. Beginning in the 10th century, German territories formed a central part of the Holy Roman Empire that lasted until 1806. During the 16th century, northern Germany became the centre of the Protestant Reformation. As a modern nation-state, the country was first unified amidst the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. In 1949, after World War II, Germany was divided into two separate states—East Germany and West Germany—along the lines of Allied occupation. The two states were unified in 1990. West Germany was a founding member of the European Community (EC) in 1957, which became the European Union in 1993. It is part of the Schengen zone and adopted the European currency, the euro, in 1999.

 Germany is a federal parliamentary republic of sixteen states (Länder). The capital and largest city is Berlin. Germany is a member of the United Nations, NATO, G8 and OECD. It is a major economic power with the world's third largest economy by nominal GDP and the fifth largest in purchasing power parity. It is the largest exporter and second largest importer of goods. In absolute terms, Germany allocates the second biggest annual budget of development aid in the world, while its military expenditure ranked sixth. The country has developed a high standard of living and established a comprehensive system of social security. It holds a key position in European affairs and maintains a multitude of close partnerships on a global level. Germany is recognised as a scientific and technological leader in several fields.


History:
  • 1915: The Midnighter is sent back in time by Anton Paulus to assassinate Adolf Hitler. The Midnighter is interrupted by the Temporal Police from the 96th Century, and sent forward in time to 1945. (Midnighter #2)
  • 1939: Anton Paulus is born in Hamburg, Germany. His father is Sebastian Paulus, a right-wing extremist who publicly called Adolf Hitler a "jumped-up Austrian Plebe". The Paulus family was sent to the Belsen death camp for the insult. (Midnighter #5)
  • 1943: Jenny Sparks works as an Allied operative against the Nazi superbeings to prevent the Nazis from obtaining valuable artifacts and ancient weapons. She rescues a Tibetan egg from the Nazis. The egg was prophesied to open and bring forth a being that will usher a new age. She is captured, but before being sent to a dissection camp, her childhood friend, Adolf Hitler, who upon accidentally noticing her being dragged away, remembers her and orders her to be released and sent to England with the egg. (Jenny Sparks #4)
  • 1944: Logan was sent by Allied agents to recover the Lazarus Scroll from the Nazis. He was caught by the Nazi Eikert, who attempted to take the Scroll. Eikert ordered his men to kill Logan, who fought and tried to escape. The Coda member Zannah arrived seeking the Scroll as well, and helped Logan escape. They tracked Eikert and he revealed himself as an alien Daemonite. Zannah killed him, and the two retrieved the Scroll. After Logan met with Nick Fury, he and Zannah met up again and boarded a train for Vienna. Zannah began to explain the significance of the Scroll, which was a Daemonite item that they were seeking to reclaim. Logan's senses gave away the presence of another Daemonite on the train with them, but found themselves confronted by not only it, but a mysterious man named Kenyan whom both Logan and Zannah were familiar with. As the two battled Kenyan and the alien, Kenyan got possession of the Scroll and escaped the train before a bomb on it exploded. Logan and Zannah managed to jump from the train in time as well. They tracked Kenyan to a cave where he was attempting to use the Scroll to revive Ebron, the Queen Daemonite. Logan attacked Kenyan, and Zannah threw a powerful crystal into the forehead of a weak Ebron, causing the area to explode. Logan managed to pull himself from the rubble, but could only find one of Zannah's broken swords. (WildC.A.T.s/X-Men: The Golden Age)
