▲<br>'''''have him shot."'''''</blockquote>'''Erich Koch''' (born 19th June 1896) is the current Reichskommissar for the [[Reichkommissariat Ukraine|Ukraine]], as well as Gauleiter and Oberpräsident of Eastern Prussia. He is the most important man in [[Reichskommissariat Ukraine]], but probably the one that spends the least time within its borders. Koch rules Ukraine with a thorny whip, and for a while he managed just fine doing so, supposedly working towards the national-socialist ideal for this country. However, ever since the West Russian War, his methods stopped extracting adequate results. The colony stagnated, and Koch simply couldn't spare the energy to try and get it moving again.
Every factory he builds, every farm he modernizes and every bullet he orders into somebody's head; it all fails to subjugate the wild "borderland", which after more than 20 years is no less riddled with rebels and their constant terrorist attacks against his authority. For Koch, Ukraine is no Aryan paradise, and he's starting to wonder if it ever will be. These days he prefers to spend his time in East Prussia, another region he is responsible for, but one that he looks upon with pride, one that he wishes to get reassigned to permanently someday.
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
On 22 March 1926, Koch became a Bezirksleiter of the NSDAP in Essen and, in October of that year, succeeded [[Joseph Goebbels]] as Business Manager of Großgau Ruhr. In 1927, he succeeded Viktor Lutze as the Deputy Gauleiter of the region.
In October 1928 he became Gauleiter of the Province of East Prussia and the leader of the NSDAP faction in the provincial diet. From September 1930 he was a member of the Reichstag for East Prussia. After [[Adolf Hitler|Adolf Hitler's]] rise to power in 1933, Koch was appointed to the Prussian State Council that same year. He became Oberpräsident of East Prussia a

Line 76 ⟶ 75:
The Reichskommissar works with the General Plenipotentiary for Labour Deployment (Generalbevollmächtigter für den Arbeitseinsatz) in providing the Reich with forced labor. He was also involved in the persecution of Polish and Ukrainian Jews. Koch enforced the [[Hunger Plan|"Hunger Plan"]] against the "undesirables" of Ukraine. He remarked the Slavic population of the Reichskommissairat in a quote;<blockquote>''"We are a master race, which must remember that the lowliest German worker is racially and biologically a thousand times more valuable than the population here."'' </blockquote>
Koch's rule was and still is characterized characterized by disturbing brutality, which gave rise to numerous and persistent resistance movements. These include the [[Ukrainian Workers' and Peasants' Red Army]], [[Ukrainian Insurgent Army]] and the [[Ukrainian National Revolutionary Army]]. All of which plague his fiefdom in a determined fight for the freedom of Ukraine. After the [[West Russian War]] (1955-1957), these movements gained substantially more traction, fighting fiercely against the Nazi occupiers, causing Koch enough headaches to lose faith in the prospects of the Reichskommissariat. Koch now only does the bare minimum required of him and dreams of being rid of his position as Reischkommissar.
