Siegfried Kasche born on the 18th of June, 1903, was an ambassador of the German Reich to the Independent State of Croatia and Obergruppenführer of the Sturmabteilung (SA), a paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party. Kasche was served as Reichskommissar of the Reichskommissariat Moskowien since 1941-1942.
As Reichskommissar, the running of a Reichskommissariat is an uninspiring and monotonous job, and one which he has grown to hate. Kasche's apathy is well known to Germania, with the Reichskommissar putting in the bare minimum effort, mostly filing paperwork and interfering in the Council when the internal atmosphere deteriorates. Yet despite Germania's disdain with Kasche, his uncaring attitude has lead to the native population having greater rights and larger say in matters of governance.
Even by Nazi standards, Kasche is incredibly incompetent and the only reason why he's governing Moskowien is because killing is the only thing he's good at and Hitler needed someone like him to pacify the partisans in Western Russia.
Germany's lack of support after the West Russian War has led to Kasche relying more on Russian collaborators he perceives as racially inferior. Despite this, Kasche remains determined to win Germany's favor, planning to retake power from Saucken and resume Generalplan Ost. However, he acknowledges that recovery is unlikely.
In-Game Description[edit | edit source]
Better the dream not achieved than the one that is twisted, corrupted, and deformed.
Siegfried Kasche had always had one dream. It was always clear and un-compromised - the Reich shall bathe in glory and blood of each and every soul that tried to oppose it - the communists, the degenerates, the Untermensch, the traitors, and the ones who thought that the National Socialist triumph was not possible.
The dream became twisted.
Despite loyally serving the NSDAP since its inception, despite serving in the Slavic lands - places no Germans should ever find itself needing to touch - on its behalf, despite assuming the title of the Reichskommissar of Moskowien, all his dream did was to lock him down in a prison with keys from it leading to nowhere.
Yes, the Slav is enslaved by all the means - from factories to farms. Yes, the Slav is afraid to look up to see the light as there will always be a whip by his back. Yes, the Slavs have degenerated into betraying each other whenever the Eagle wishes - at least in Kasche's mind.
But this is not enough. And it will never be. The future of Kasche, of Moskowien and its history is locked and can only be changed if the whole prison is destroyed - by the wishes of Destiny or against them.
