History

Early Days

Childhood

Not much is known about Rudolf Riefenstein in his childhood. There are no accounts of him having family, though Riefenstien obviously has or had family. Riefenstein however is reported to always have been interested in military subjects since a young age.

Adulthood

Once Riefenstein turned 18, he enlisted to become a soldier in the German military. Germany had just lost World War I, and Riefenstein felt that the leaders of Germany had betrayed the German armies. Riefenstein however did not want to join the army yet. He felt like he would be better off making his business successful first, to impress his parents and his girlfriend at the time.

After a few years, Riefensteins business took off and made him a large amount of money. He now looked what to do, stating he was rather bored. He would visit clubs, theatres, malls and parks. However, Riefenstein noticed a large building, which belonged to the DAP (Abbreviation for German Workers' party). Riefenstein met Hermann Göring and both got along quite well. Göring gave Riefenstein advice to stop going to clubs, theatres, malls and parks, and instead focus on being successful, like joining the military. Riefenstein was inspired and planned to apply for the German military in a few years, which would then become the Wehrmacht.

Once Rudolf Riefenstein applied to join the wehrmacht, he was accepted a week later. He was offered the rank of Unteroffizier. Though Riefenstein wanted to fight as a soldier instead, he took this rank as officer.

Quickly, Riefensteins skills were noticed by his superiors. Göring recognised Riefenstein and gave Riefenstein a high rank, much to Hitler‘s disliking. Riefenstein earned the rank of Oberstleutnant.

A few years later, Hitler would pursue the plan for the Anschlüss. This was a plan to start a referendum in Austria, to join Germany. Riefenstein was one of the masterminds behind this idea, and therefore gained Hitler‘s trust. Hitler promoted Riefenstein for his "marvellous ideas". Riefenstein was promoted to Generalleutnant. Riefensteins plan worked, and Hitler congratulated Riefenstein personally for his "great work".

Riefenstein would not do much after this until World War II. Germany declared war on Poland, and Riefenstein was ordered to develop tactics to fight Polish troops in Warsaw. Riefensteins tactics were unsuccesful, due to the high amount of Polish troops and rebels present in Warsaw. However, Poland would capitulate quite fast. This lead to Hitler not punishing Riefensteins defeat.

Rudolf Riefenstein would then be present with the creation of the plans to invade the Benelux. Riefenstein wanted to succesfully take all of the Benelux within 30 days. He succeeded, taking all of the Benelux in less than 20 days. He was promoted to General due to succes.

The now high ranking Riefenstein was the leader of some parts of the Wehrmacht. He suggested to invade the United States of America aswell. Hitler liked the idea, especially since The Empire of Japan attacked the USA too. Hitler ordered Riefenstein and a few other generals to invade the United States of America. Due to the current successes, Riefenstein was promoted to Generaloberst. Once the USA fully surrendered due to Riefenstein‘s successes, he was promoted once again, to Generalfeldmarschall.
