With a PoD in 1931, the germans are driving panzers through the US in 1943. Oooooo-kay.

And apparently the Japanese have established bases on Palmyra Atoll and Johnston Island. On December 1942. That says a lot about the credibility.

I don't think its takes too radical a divergence to imagine Japanese airfields on the Palmyra Atoll, as compared to Panzers in Ohio....

It's actually in 1916 :

"
A German Obituary from 1916

Richard Sorge, son of Adolf and Nina Sorge of Berlin, died March 23, 1916 while serving the Fatherland in Russia. A member of the 3rd Guards, Field Artillery, he served with honor and courage defending his fellow soldiers against a Russian attack.

SOURCE: Berliner Abendblatt"

Richard Sorge - the Soviet's Man in Tokyo.

Also in the following instalment, Georgiy Zhukov dies in the Russian Civil War, thus ridding the Soviets of another advantage...

Oh, FFS, they have EVERYONE dying in accidents. just look at the list of instalments for March - apart from the two already mentioned, Churchill dies in that New York traffic accident, FDR is assassinated by Zangara with Gerner becoming basically a "do-nothing" President for much of his two terms...

I can't even stand to look at it anymore. Apart from anything else, the colour scheme is hurting my eyes...
