third reich

When the Nazis came to power, they moved to Nazify the country at every level, which included the administrative system, but in doing so, they created a sort of redundant double system in the Old Reich (pre 1938 borders). Party-wise you had the Gaue, which became the main administrative division...

I've read a lot of threads about Operation Tannenbaum (the invasion of Switzerland by Nazi Germany) on this site, but so far I haven't found a satisfactory answer to my question: how long can Swiss resistance last? Let's assume a typical Axis Victory scenario - the Nazis manage a victory...

How close can we get to a war over the Sudetenland between Germany and the West leading to a quick defeat, a martyred Hitler, a pragmatic Fuhrer Goering, and a Nazi Germany forced to abandon expansionism and become an anti-Communist buffer against the USSR potentially in a Cold War? Obviously...

If Axis win WW2 Nazis conquer or puppetize Mainland Europe, Middle east, Central Asia, Africa and IJA puppetize China, Mongolia, Russian Far east due to US absolute neutrality i.e., no lend lease, no embargo. Could Nazis pull a miracle on the rhine along with reviving soviet economy?

Okay, I know this sounds bad, but hear me out. This isn't a post comparing Nazis to Hindus, or Nazism to Hinduism, or anything like that; that would be ridiculous and hateful. Now, then. The Third Reich had a very interesting relationship to religion. While there were Christian Nazis, many felt...

With a POD set at 11 November 1918, create a five- or six-way Cold War featuring the United States of America, the British Empire, the Third Reich, the Soviet Union, and either the Empire of Japan or the Republic/People's Republic (preferably the latter) of China, or both of the two latter...

A little while back I read an alternate history novel whose prompt was basically "what if the Allies were aware that the Rhineland remilitarization was a bluff?" So, basically what happens is that shortly after the March 1936 "Rhineland fiasco," a series of complicated events (which I might...

Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen ------------------ "War is not as the people at home imagine it, with a hurrah and a roar; it is very serious, very grim." "Where der Kaiser failed, Der Führer succeeded. Where our brothers fell in battle, our sons rose in triumph." "Every pilot...

OTL, the International Military Tribunal had 24 accused persons and 7 organizations. Of course, as it often happens, absent persons were involved in the crimes, leading to them being used by some accused to reduce their own guilt and responsability, as Justice Robert Jackson complained on July...

PREFACE Twilight of the Valkyries was written back in 2016 out of a deep curiosity regarding the 20th July Plot, a famous point of divergence which I felt had immense potential in terms of stories that could be told or scenarios that could be devised. It was inmensely enjoyable - if a bit...

A challenge: With a WW2 PoD anytime after the beginning of Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, how can we craft a scenario whereas Nazi Germany fails in its grand strategic goals, but survives in Germany (perhaps with a few puppet states) after a successful defensive effort or negotiations with...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Order_(Nazism)#Plans_for_an_African_colonial_domain Hitler's geopolitical thoughts about Africa always occupied a secondary position to his expansionist aims in Europe itself. His public announcements prior to outbreak of the war that Germany's former colonies...

Throughout World War Two-oriented media, Nazi Germany is depicted as a powerhouse, especially in the fields of science and technology. From advanced spacecraft to superheavy tanks, their alleged mastery of engineering is displayed for every consumer of such media to see. Judging by internet...

In the absence of the second world war, what would Germany's history be like in comparison with OTL? Some questions regarding this scenario Could Germany fight a war with Poland without it escalating into a war similar to WW2? Would the Nazi party keep power? For how long? Would Germany keep...

Instead of killing all the Soviet High Command, Stalin promotes them and established military schools with experts from a few countries. Stalin doesn't kill too many people unless they were really trying to commit treason. How would WWII go if Germany breaks the pact?

In OTL President Patrick J Hurley declared war on the entire British Empire in 1935 and would declare war on Japan shortly afterwards sparking WW2. Once the Soviet-American Pact was defeated in 1943 the world was divided between the Allies, the USA was humiliated, and the stage was set for the...
