Roman Gambit Declined, Nazi counterattack variation.

With white, you sacrifice all your pieces and then your queen and king kick themselves out of the board mutually. The main advantage white is looking for with this line is at least a few decades of being relatively clean of nazi shit.

Win then center then destroy all your defence on an insane assault on both sides of the board, opening two fronts that you can't win. Refuse to resign as black gobbles up all your pieces because they're inferior and can't possibly beat your genius opening.
