Operation AXIOM: After the World War
10 January 1919: The Free State of Bottleneck (Freistaat Flaschenhals) was proclaimed—After the Armistice, the Entente occupied Germany west of the Rhine & occupied circular bridgeheads east of the Rhine, isolating a sliver of the Wisper valley without road or rail links to the rest of the Weimar Republic; the micro-state issued currency, stamps, & passports, & persisted 'til 23 February 1923.





Lest we forget.
