Germantown is a ruined town in the Capital Wasteland. Part of the pre-War Greater Washington area.
Background
Pre-War
Prior to the Great War, Germantown was a town in the Columbia Commonwealth. On the evening of October 22nd, a unit of the National Catastrophe Relief Auxiliary was mobilized and deployed to Germantown where they set up an evacuation and disaster relief camp. Although no official cause was given for the mobilization, rumors soon spread that the United States faced imminent Chinese attack. On Saturday, October 23rd the Great War erupted and Washington, D.C. was struck with several nuclear bombs.
Post-War
Located some distance from Washington, Germantown escaped immediate destruction by the bombs and became a local center for the relief efforts of the NCRA. As society collapsed and panic set in, widespread looting occured in Germantown and the situation was only brought under control when National Guard units from Pennsylvania arrived in town, much to the relief of the presiding officer of the local NCRA unit]].
As the situation continued to deteriorate and medical supplies began to run out, the NCRA could do little for the many patients and evacuees. At some point the NCRA unit, weakened by desertions and deaths among its personnel, disintegrated and ceased to exist as did the rest of American society.[1]
At some time prior to the events of Fallout 3 a group of super mutants settled in Germantown. From there they kidnapped wastelanders, either to eat or to make mutants at Vault 87.
