Don Phillips, in Asheville, North Carolina, for violating terms of probation of a 1935 conviction for violating North Carolina security laws. On January 20, 1942, Pelley was sentenced to serve two to three years in prison by Superior Court Judge F. Pelley disbanded the organization after the December 1941 Attack on Pearl Harbor. By around 1938, the Silver Legion's membership had declined to about 5,000. Roosevelt handily won the reelection, and Pelley failed to figure among the top four. However, the Democratic President Franklin D. He would be called "the Chief" just like other fascist world leaders who had similar titles such "Der Führer" for Adolf Hitler and "II Duce" for Benito Mussolini. Pelley hoped to seize power in a "silver revolution" and set himself as dictator of the United States. He claimed he would save America from Jewish communists just as "Mussolini and his Black Shirts saved Italy and as Hitler and his Brown Shirts saved Germany." Pelley ran in the 1936 presidential election on a third-party ticket under the Christian Party banner. Legion leader Pelley called for a "Christian Commonwealth" in America that would combine the principles of nationalism, and theocracy, while excluding Jews and non-whites. By 1934, the Legion claimed 15,000 members. The organizational flag was a plain silver field with such a red L in the canton at the upper left. The uniform shirts bore a scarlet letter L over the heart, which according to Pelley was "standing for Love, Loyalty, and Liberation." The blocky slab serif L-emblem was in a typeface similar to the present-day Rockwell Extra Bold. Ī nationalist, fascist group, the paramilitary Silver Legion wore a uniform modeled after the Nazi's brown shirts (SA), consisting of a silver shirt with a blue tie, along with a campaign hat and blue corduroy trousers with leggings. He formed the Silver Legion with the goal to bring about "spiritual and political renewal", inspired by the success of Adolf Hitler's Nazi movement in Germany. This isn't too bad, because You won't have to worry about the Eastern Front, and if you blitzkrieg France, set up defenses on the coast and send your ships to blow up the British Coast, it will be fairly easy to win that war, thus preventing soviet intervention.Pelley was a former journalist, novelist and screenwriter turned spiritualist who, by 1931, had begun to promote antisemitic views, asserting that Jews were possessed by demons. So instead of a World War, you'll have two big wars, with Allies vs Axis, and Commintern vs neutrals. Which is fun, because in theory the Allies will only be France, US and the UK, and the Axis should be Germany, Japan, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Slovenia, Croatia, Czhecoslovakia, Netherlands and Italy. At the same time Japan may go for Pearl Harbor, which will drag you into a war with the Allies. The issue now is that the Commintern will try to expand, and if they are afraid of attacking the Axis, they may try to go for Turkey/Iraq/Iran. This can take you very far, as far as 1944/1945, while building up your army and your provinces without going into war. Then Demand/Befriend Czecholovakia/Slovenia (hopefully the UK will allow you to after the London Conference).Go for peace, unite with Austria (Anschluss).If everything is clam, now you can focus on Rhineland.If the Soviets invade Poland, quickly focus on the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, as it's likely they'll gift you half of it (Without you going into war).You should have a lot of accumulated Political Power, so spend it on boosting fascism on your new friends (They will eventually ask to join Axis).Befriend everyone, but leave Netherlands for last (Japan won't like it).Invest on Naval Rearmament, and go for Plan Z.Don't freak out if Japan and Italy are fighting China and Greece, respectively.Wait until Italy tries to join the Axis, same for Japan.If you want, get Army Inovations II, but don't get the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.Focus on your own infrastructure, by Reichautobahn line.Do not remilitarize Rhineland at the start.To an extent, it comes down to RNG (because of USSR, Italy and Japan), but here's how you can delay/prevent it:
