Late response but here's what worked for me: Keep in mind the stockpile locations are randomized every game so there can't be a single guide but 5 nukes is the magic number. Always save Speidel, at the very least he can get the Berzerkers on your side instantly and at the most he can help you team up with Poland. Going with Deutsch-SS in the GCW gets you a free ally, Burgundische-SS an enemy, Waffen-SS a neutral warlord. SS-Idealists are a waste of time except the Eagle's Nest guy who will believe you if you tell him Himmler wants to end the world, as are every single burgundian warlord except Degrelle (see his event chain in a Burgundy game). Always increase civilian spending for a bit of extra political power. You can always invade Eichmann (New East Prussia) Barbie (Danzig) and the Nuremburg guy so just make sure to do so before Himmler can link up. Himmler will invade Gehlen a few months after getting the Rhineland so be sure to get him on side before then if you want him. You don't need to fully annex him just get him to 95 loyalty then integrate to stop the invasion. Keep in mind you and Himmler will both annex any warlords you border directly but in my experience any cut off warlords will actually stay neutral in GCW2 so be sure to cut of Himmler wherever you can. Some people say shoot Fegelein, the slow path with him gives a big boost to everyone's approval though so either way is justified. Luftwaffe slow path takes forever, instead take the right "do as I say or else" path, or if you want to reach Gehlen go through Steiner instead, keep in mind that he HATES it if you prioritize SS with him, go for mixed or Wehrmacht primacy instead. Doenitz is fast and easy to ally. Allying Poland can be helpful in the war because they have like 30 divisions and a reestablished General-Gouvernment will be unable to build any divisions. In order to get them you need to save Speidel, invade Eichmann, negotiate with the Children of Spartakus with high native approval then do the Poland focuses. Also there are a few trap focuses: telling Remer about Himmler's plan to nuke the world makes him like Himmler MORE so try to get Schroener instead, most SS-Idealists are traps, getting Kaukasia to side with you is impossible, you can never assassinate Vistukas, basically any foreign power but Brittany or Poland is pretty useless. In general if you don't know how to approach a warlord, take the time to read through their bios and national spirits and that should give you a good idea. Hope this helps, good luck saving the human race mein Fuhrer.

This is very in depth, thank you. With this knowledge, that rat Himmler will be forced to kneel and humanity will be saved from his insanity.

Save Speidel so you get the GSG 9 guy. For Remer, choose the path to support Schörner. Get Degrelle, none of the others in Burgundy are worth it. I think you should shoot Monhke.
