Short version - Germany wins WW2 in Europe, US is fighting a losing battle against both German and Japanese forces in the Pacific stage of war. Your character is in one of the underground rebel groups in Europe that is trying to free Europe from the Nazis (the groups are named below in the spoiler tab). If interested, read what is in the spoiler tab.
The year is 1949, after a long and brutal war throughout much of Europe, Germany and it's allies have won world war two in the European stage of war. Hitler has been assassinated by British partisans and now Heinrich Himmler, architect and right hand man of Hitler himself has risen to ultimate power, bringing an even more vicious and Machiavellian style of rule with his coming. Meanwhile, across the world the United States fights a slowly losing battle as the Japanese regain territory in the Pacific with the assistance of the now un-occupied German military and navy. The US was defeated in Europe along with it's allies and in this universe, the atomic bombs were never built, and as the US slogged through Japan, fighting a tooth and nail battle against both the military and the citizens of Japan, the Germans won their war, and turned their attentions to the Japanese mainland, using their now freed up forces to aid the Japanese and expunge the US troops from Japan and the Pacific islands (currently the Germans and Japanese are fighting the US troops on various islands such as Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal etc.).
Europe, for the most part has been conquered by the Nazi regime, many European nations remain sovereign but they are within the oppressive influence of Nazi Germany, and a ticking clock exists that dictates just how long countries like Switzerland and Spain will retain home rule. The vast lands of the USSR have been divided into districts by the Nazis and all the while the brutal ethnic cleansing driven by the Nazi rhetoric continues on, millions more die with every year within the massive concentration camps and the only hope for most of the oppressed is that the United States will be able to overcome the Axis powers, but with every passing month, news of Japanese and German victories in the Pacific mount and the situation becomes more bleak.
Although it may seem hopeless, within Europe many rebel partisan groups have risen up to fight the oppression of the Nazi regime. Escaped POWs, soldiers who refused to stop fighting, Jews in hiding, sympathizers of the cause and nationalists who are fighting to free their countries have banded together under three main groups, each one fighting in a different part of Europe. The GBPB or Greater British Partisan Battalion, fights in Britain, hiding in plain sight, using sabotage and subterfuge to undermine German rule, they have been branded terrorists by the Nazis but within the homes and backrooms of British society under Nazi rule, the GBPB is celebrated as heroes and many of the citizens of Nazi controlled Britain will aid the GBPB if given the chance to do so.
Within what had been the USSR, the PAB or Proletariat Armed Brigade fights in guerrilla campaigns, using the vast forests of their homeland as a base of operation, moving from place to place in a nomadic style and staying mobile to evade their Nazi pursuers. The PAB specializes in raids and surprise attacks, often striking from the darkness of the night time, using surprise to their advantage. They target Nazi institutions, destroying train tracks to derail supply trains, destroying arms and supply depots and hitting vehicle depots, destroying or stealing dozens of armored vehicles and tanks along with killing numerous Nazi soldiers.
In central Europe the EUFFA or European Unionized Freedom Fighting Army fights desperately against Nazi control. The EUFFA is the most culturally diverse of the three as it is located within the heart of Europe, mainly in France. Men and women from over a dozen European nations can be found working for the EUFFA, German sympathizers, French freedom fighters, Escaped US POWs, Russians, British etc. you name it, there will be a few in the EUFFA, and their strategies are as diverse as their culture. In some cases they use sabotage labeled as terrorism by the Nazis, in other cases they will stage sneak attacks on bases or stage assassinations on upper level Nazi party members. In their service are dozens of finely trained bomb specialists, spies and assassins, all of which are trained to destroy targets of value, infiltrate, kill, or capture without being caught. They are the second largest group behind the PAB, but they have the most sophisticated tactics, often assassinating high level Nazi party members, while having infiltrators who spy on the on going tactics of the Nazis.
The US has lent a hand to both the EUFFA and the GBPB and in the service of both are US spies and assassins along with special forces soldiers who can help with the more blunt jobs and assassinations.
