Builders!
We’d already talked about the hero of the British campaign in WW2 Rebuilder, but for the last few weeks we’ve been showing you some of the maps taking place in Germany. New country means a new campaign with the brand new protagonist - let us introduce her now!
Ursula is the Trümmerfrau (ger. “rubble woman”). The German male population suffered great losses during World War II, with the soldiers being killed or taken captive. Women had to replace their fallen husbands, brothers, fathers and sons in many areas of everyday life. The ones that worked on clearing and rebuilding the ruined German cities were called Trümmerfrauen.

Their life in after-war Germany was very hard. The cities were ruined beyond recognition, afterm firestorm-causing bombings. There was a shortage of food - Trümmerfrauen had been given for their work the food stamps barely covering their needs. Many of them lost their families during the war.
During her campaign Ursula, working on the rebuilds in various places in West Germany, looks for any traces of her missing husband Andreas, a German soldier that never came home. She begins her journey in Remagen, not far from the Golden Mile, the huge camp for the prisoners of war captured by the Allies. Here she renovates the famous Ludendorff bridge. She continues her search in Essen, helping with recovering the heavy machines from the city’s factories. The huge part of equipment of German industrial plants that survived the war had to be handed to the Allies as reparations. In Hamburg, the city devastated by firestorms, Ursula learns about her husband’s heroism in rescuing civilians. She also renovates the city’s canals and one of the tenement houses.

In WW2 Rebuilder we face a very sensitive task - showing the aftermath of World War II in Germany. We are trying our best to do it with utmost care and compassion for the victims of the most horrifying conflict in human history.
Is this the end of Ursula’s journey? Probably not, but we won’t talk about it now ;)
The WW2 Rebuilder Germany Prolog comes soon, stay tuned to experience the work of our Trümmerfrau yourself!
