Synopsis:
After the Wacker breakout of 1945, things have somehow gotten worse for Europe. The walking dead have swarmed over Europe and brought Axis and Allies together. Now, survivors of a convoy in France that was surprised by a Level VI wave of undead find themselves in a Farmhouse beseiged by the undead. The question is, how long can you hold out? X, how many zombies are out there, compared to Y how many bullets are in the house; if X is greater than Y, dawn might bring nothing but more zombies. Hopefully not, and you might live to fight another day.

History:
Reichsfurher Heinrich Himmler's bid for Nazi supremacy comes from a totally different angle. Ahnenerbe (Himmler's mystical research organization) finds the answer to their quest: human sacrifice in exchange for all-consuming supernatural power locked in the soul of the Aryan master race. Himmler jumps in with both feet, and in and makes a deal with the Devil. He sacrifices a few Nordic virgins, or whatever, and gets an army of darkness in return. Undead, long-dead Germanic warriors, black magic, etc. It doesn't matter how, really, just as long as we get undead Nazis. And we do, and they all came out of Burghausen Castle.
The disease that the undead carry spreads on to any troops scratched or wounded by the creatures. They arise as undead as well, unless catholic last rights are performed to stop it. Some areas of the world are completely overrun with undead, such as France and Germany. Only walled villages and towns that endured the initial onslaught have survived. The English Channel is again a fortress wall.
Town militias patrol the streets at night with IR-equipped BARs and halftrack-mounted searchlights. Sewer crawls and infested buildings are usually farmed out to mercenary outfits, who kill zombies and get paid by the head, literally. Chaplains with True Faith -- and shotguns -- lead villagers in defense of their homes. Special forces units take on the tough jobs of clearing cities and forested areas. Air support uses lots of napalm.
Its now 1946 and in this alternate history the war should have been long over. But the endless stream of undead nordic warriors spilling out of Germany seem to be pushing back the endless stream of Sherman Tanks coming from the US, and the endless stream of Russians coming out of Russia. France is a wasteland, and the PCs were part of a US Army Patrol moving in advance of a large force towards Paris. A Level IV wave of undead hit the convoy and all hell broke loose. Eddy ordered the group back, but saw a complete zombie route, some zombies noticed and gave chase. Prince was at the wheel and gunned the little Willy's Jeep away from the convoy. A spike in the road blew a tire and the Jeep skidded to a stop infront of a French Farmhouse. Now with over a thousand zombies outside the farmhouse, its time to hunker down.
