Editing The Post-Apocalyptic Roadmap/Germany (section)

== Infrastructure ==

Before the Day of the Thousand Suns (Tag der Tausend Sonnen in German) Germany had a relative good run. The economy was doing fine and there were no mayor civil unrests unlike in other parts of the EU. Despite this the government did not invest much into infrastructure or public safety measures. 
That came back to bite them in the back.
The industrial regions around the Rhine and Ruhr were nearly annihilated. No more Thyssen and Krupp. 
Same goes for Munich, Frankfurt, Hannover and Berlin. Hamburg wasn't hit directly, no one knows why. Maybe it was planed to use it as supply hub by the Russians, who knows. 
The old German capital of Bonn was heavily damaged by the fallout from the hits on the northern Rhineland not that it would matter as most Germans wouldn't listen to a Government that couldn't protect them in the first place.
Most regional capitals that weren't hit tried to set up local governments with only Hessia and the Rhineland-Palatinate seeing moderate success due to a combination of topography, geography and luck. 
Other than the above most of Germany seems to have been splintered into small rural communities and raiders, with the former concentrated on the ruins of larger cities and the former Highways (the legendary Autobahn) and the latter around the large rivers of Rhine, Danube,Weser, Ems and Oder.
