VKPD's Sicherheitskräfte, Communist-supporting members of the military conduct raids in north and southwestern DundorfMay 18, 4335
Wolfsdorf, Dundorf
10:30 AMThe early morning hours here in the rather quiet area of Wolfsdorf, in Gayern have been met with the crackle of gunfire as the combined forces of the Sicherheitskräfte and communist-supporting members of the DAF, now calling themselves the Dundorfian Volksarmee, have begun raids on strategic areas in northwestern and southwestern Dundorf. The ShK begun assaults on police departments, ransacking their weapon caches to arm themselves. They then received impromptu military training, a clear violation of Dundorf's paramilitary law, and from field reports, have apparently captured both the states of Gayern and Kronstein, after sieging their state parliaments, making them the first occupied areas of the DVA, and subsequently falling under the jurisdiction of the proposed 2nd Dundorfische Demokratische Republik. Troops here in Gayern, the home state of VKPD General Secretary Ernst Steindorf, were apparently welcomed with open arms, with residents even letting them into their homes. Seeing as though the VKPD had also campaigned repeatedly in the state, it is no surprise to see such behavior.
Two employees of the Sicherheitskräfte, effectively soldiers now after violating Dundorf's paramilitary law, stand watch outside the state parliament of Gayern.Both high ranking officials of the ShK were present on the field, with Karl Loritz being the most approachable by leftist press groups. He stated that he was "fully cooperating" with the VKPD's Minister of Defense candidate and subsequent Armeegeneral Anton Keßler, and discussed that current plans were to assist forces in the capital, Zerlin. He gave vague details to reporters, but it is assumed that the ShK and army have gained a considerable amount of control of most areas of the Federal Republic's capital. But a rather ominous comment was also given by him. "One thing is for certain, however. The old flag of the DDR is surely flying over the Bundestag, and we've pushed the bastards out of the city. We still have a considerable amount to go, such as pushing into the south, and gaining control of Eastern Oderveld, which is currently clashing with our forces."
Deputy Chief of the Sicherheitskräfte, Karl Loritz, (left), discusses plans.It is interesting to note that hardly any Dundorfian infrastructure was damaged in the takeovers of these two states. Lightly uniformed members of the ShK were also seen raiding the homes of those in connection with the assassins of Peter Hoffmann, as well as those to ties with the NDVP. These men have allegedly arrested a few hundred individuals, and will most likely submit them to questioning. Meanwhile, army divisions stand vigilant along the border of Eastern Oderveld, waiting for Loritz to arrive, before ordering the push towards Zerlin. So far, the VKPD has achieved more in the civil war than their ally, the SED. An incredibly interesting factor, seeing as though the VKPD had only 56 seats in the Bundestag, prior to the commencement of the civil war.
