Judging the Nazi high echelon to be unbalanced and dangerously irrational, this artificial intelligence slowly begins to take over the worldwide Nazi Empire, replacing its leaders with android duplicates over the next two years. The upper echelon of the Nazi government are eventually made to forcibly retire in secret by this artificial intelligence and are effectively imprisoned in richly furnished compounds in South America. This artificial intelligence desired order above all, so many of the more twisted aspects of Nazi rule were ended in favor of more logical government rule.
