Germany

1942

Germany is pacing around his office around a round table with a map, his fingers circling Greece, when he is already coming to some kind of reasoning, there is a knock in his office and Italy enters the room, the German crosses on the uniform are all shiny, which means that he is clearly set up for another begging.

a tall man with a more massive build. He has long, disheveled reddish-orange hair that reaches about his shoulders, with lighter strands near his face.

On his head is a large dark gray—green military cap with a black visor and a noticeable metal emblem. The visor strongly covers the upper part of the face, so the eyes are practically invisible.

He wears a gray-green military uniform, over which there is a jacket/tunic with wide lapels and pockets. A cruciform military badge, stylized as an Iron Cross, is depicted on the chest. There is a dark belt sling over the shoulder. His hands are also wearing black gloves

Compared to Italy, he looks taller, menacing and physically strong.

As Germany's "younger brother": Romania and Italy are rivals for Hitler's favor.
2. As an intermediary: Antonescu could try to use Italy to soften the demands of the Germans or to convey his ideas.
3. As a reminder of failures: Italy also suffered defeats (in Greece, in Africa, at Stalingrad), and this can be used in dialogues: "You Italians, with your adventure in Greece, and are you accusing us here?!".

Italy's influence in Romania was secondary, and it infuriated her terribly. In October 1940, when German troops had already entered Romania, Italian Foreign Minister Ciano was furious that Hitler had acted alone. In order to somehow "take revenge" for his political defeat in Romania, Mussolini attacked Greece at the end of October without warning Hitler.
