Strauss (Timewyrm: Exodus)

General Strauss was the leader of the German 19th Army during World War II. His army was to spearhead Operation Sealion in 1940 and knock the United Kingdom out of the war. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Exodus) However, the invasion was cancelled at the end of 1941. (PROSE: Just War)

Alternate timeline
In an alternate timeline, Operation Sealion was commenced shortly after the destruction of the British Army at Dunkirk. Strauss's army landed on the south coast of England and established a beachhead between Folkestone and Worthing, facing minimal resistance. The rest of the German forces followed and steamrolled further into mainland Britain, achieving the country's surrender in six days.

Strauss's efforts were acknowledged in Joseph Goebbels' history The Thousand Year Reich - The Glorious Beginning, published in 1947. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Exodus)
