''Von der Asche'' is a forthcoming AlternateHistory ''VideoGame/HeartsOfIron IV'' GameMod. Partially based on Creator/RobertHarris' 1992 novel ''Literature/{{Fatherland}}'', ''Von der Asche'' explores the brutal aftermath of the Axis claiming victory in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.

In 1943, the world took a dark turn. Europe fell, then Africa fell, then Asia fell, all while the Allies failed to combat the growing menace of fascism and America cowered in fear, watching from afar as the world becomes enslaved by the Führer, the Duce, or the Emperor.

In 1974, the Axis wanes as old wounds resurface. Thirty years after World War II ended, tensions remain nearly as high as in those fading days. With the Chinese Independence War, Reinhard Heydrich's coup, and a war in Africa all impacting the world, it remains to be seen how it will all be dealt with. As America rises to combat the threat of fascism, Germany sharpens her blades for the butchering, while the rest of the world watches in an ever-present fear of inevitable destruction.

Compare with ''VideoGame/TheNewOrderLastDaysOfEurope'' and ''VideoGame/ThousandWeekReich'', other ''Hearts of Iron IV'' mods that also explore the aftermath of a German victory in WWII.
