Just noticed, no axis powers!!

I'm rolling as the Afrika Korps, but without a Germany to attach myself to, there'd be little point. I'd just be an island of awesomeness located in Africa, and without a player (Germany) to specifically give me men and material, little will change from the real world's time line. 

Therefore, I guess it's going to HAVE to be me, isn't it?

I'm going to have to play as Hitler. 

Expect an application for Nazi Germany today, or I may do the Pact of Steel, and include both Italy and Germany under my sphere of control. 

Whatever happens, there will be at least ONE Axis power. And judging how fooked I'm going to be from the countless Allied states, I'll be perfectly content to play along with Germany's historical losing streak.

EDIT: If I assume control of the central Axis powers, including Germany, Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania (and little darling Finland), then I'd also like to be a CO-GM given the amount of land I've got to manage. I don't fancy leaving NPCs on my flanks, and would rather take direct control. Will make for a better story that way.

I did tonnes of research on the Axis war machine in my youth, much of it has stayed with me, but not all of it. So go easy on me if I struggle with a few historical facts, and instead, help me to correct anything I do wrong. 

Let me get an app up first before anyone makes a decision, though :)
