That was brilliant. Just brilliant. It's a brilliant use of the OTL original while keeping the message
The word 'wow' springs to mind

Marlin Firearms R-2003 machine rifle
The latest in the venerable R-19 line of machine rifles, the R-2003 went into production in 2004, and by 2006 it was the primary rifle of the AUS Army.
The line has been praised for its accuracy and reliability, especially compared to the competing LR line of machine rifles from the Louisiana Armoury. Soldiers have also praised the innovative rail system, first introduced with the R-1983, which allows for increased versatility, and set a common standard for how accessories would be attached to firearms.
One of the few complaints about the series is the length, which has stopped Marlin from being able to export it to other countries. While the Americans did gain some experience with urban warfare during the Civil War, it wasn't as intense or as common as what the Entente faced during the Invasion of Japan, and the Liberations of Britain and France, as well as the cramped fighting the Entente faced in the jungles of India.
As such, while the world's first machine rifle, the Enfield-Ontario MR No.12, was designed to combine the power and accuracy of a rifle with the compactness and rapid-fire capabilities of a sub-machine gun, Marlin ignored that and just made a fully automatic long rifle. While this did give it greater long range accuracy than the No.12, the AUS has had trouble using it in urban warfare, which lead to difficulties during the 1999 New York Revolt.
The Marlin Firearms Company experienced a massive rise in prominence following the Second American Civil War. With Colt, Winchester, Smith & Wesson, and the Springfield Armoury in Canadian hands following the annexation of New England, Browning controlled by the PSA after Utah and most of the Mid-West States seceded following the fall of D.C., and Remington's Ilion factory in ruins due to CSA sabotage, Marlin was one of the few firearms companies left in the American Union State. Even to this day, there are few firearms companies in the AUS that are as important as Marlin, with the closest competitor being the government-founded Louisiana Armoury.
Interesting fact: A massive amount of the classic US firearms companies are in New England (including most of the ones that would have been around during the 30's and 40's). I actually had difficulty finding one that would still be part of the AUS after the New York revolt.
The R-2003 was designed using Pimp My Gun.

Into the Wild's cover in the Legation Cities. Into the Wild is the first book in British Bestseller Series "Warrior Cats"
Into the Wild begins with a battle between ThunderClan and RiverClan over Sunningrocks, a strip of land. ThunderClan is outnumbered and their deputy, Redtail, calls a retreat. In ThunderClan territory, the medicine cat, Spottedleaf, receives a prophecy from the spirits of their ancestors, StarClan: "Fire alone can save our Clan." The leader, Bluestar, muses that it is impossible, because fire is feared by all the cats.
Rusty, a house cat, runs into a ThunderClan apprentice, Graypaw, in the forest in his backyard. Rusty, however, does not run away, but fights back. Bluestar and Lionheart, Graypaw's mentor, having watched the confrontation, invite Rusty to join ThunderClan. Rusty asks to think it over, and after talking it over with his best friend and neighbor Smudge, decides to go with the Clan cats. Lionheart and Whitestorm meet him the next day and lead him to the camp. Due to his house cat past, some members of the Clan are hostile towards Rusty. This hostility eventually leads Rusty to attack Longtail, losing his collar in the ensuing fight. Bluestar then ends the fight and announces that Rusty has earned his apprentice name, Firepaw. He forms a strong bond with Graypaw, and with Ravenpaw, who is the apprentice of the ambitious warrior Tigerclaw.
Into the Wild is known for being the first book in Past-Weltkrieg British History that wasn't propaganda.
Wait, when was this supposed to have been published? IIRC the OTL Warriors books were early 2000s; that's a lot of pure propaganda.
Well, Erin Hunter didn't exist until 2003 in OTL (it's a pseudonym used by several authors, originally made for the Warriors series [which has had at least four different authors]).
ITTL, a ceasefire began in 1919, but the Weltkrieg didn't truly end until the "Peace With Honour" in 1921.
If we say it ended with the ceasefire, then that would make it 84 years before 2003, but if we say it ended with the treaty, that would make it 82 years before 2003.
Seriously, that's nearly a century of propaganda.
Also, this cover assumes that the Redwall series was written, because one of the two reasons for the Erin Hunter pseudonym was so that, when organized by the author's last name, the books would be placed near Brian Jacques, since they thought people who liked Redwall might like their books (it was also so that all the books would be placed together, despite having multiple authors, some who only worked on one or two of the books)
Anyway, Warriors, or at least the first series, could easily fit into Kaiserreich. Heck, you could even reverse it, like the Clans start out near that lake thingy because Bloodclan or whatever drove them out of their home, and then our heroes need to defeat Scourge and reclaim the birth- I mean reclaim the forest for the Clans.

What would a book series like Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan be like in a Kaiserreich TL?

The Chicago Bulls play the Minneapolis Lakers in Game 3 of the 1975-76 United States Basketball League Final.
Artis Gilmore hits a basket against the Carolina Cougars, 1974. Gilmore's Kentucky Colonels dominated the Union Basketball League for much of the 1970's.
The Boston Celtics defeat the Calgary Cowboys to win the Canadian Basketball League, 1976.
The TC-8 "Carnegie" monorail train. Introduced in 1972 during the "Nixonian" era. Intended has a successor to the aging TC-5 and precursor to the TC-12. The "Carnegie" was the first intercontinental monorail nuclear train. With its first main voyage from Anchorage to Malibu. Marking a warming of relations between the United States and Blue Canada.
Sidney Crosby #87, captain of the Melbourne Penguins, drives the puck past Morgan Reilly #44, of the Toronto Maple Leafs during Game 5 of the 2017 Stanley Cup Finals, held in Blamey Park, Melbourne. When the old National Hockey League was reformed into the Imperial Hockey League (IHL), franchises in the Empire outside Canada either were formed or merged into the IHL, the latter mostly comprising British teams founded during the Reconstruction Era, although the existing American franchises remained, and some were even added eventually. However, hockey is still considered fairly niche in the Southern Hemisphere, where rugby still reigns, and India, where cricket is strongest. The franchises of Australasia, South Africa, India, and the Caribbean Federation therefore comprise a single division, the Southern Division, which includes almost all teams south of the United States. The exceptions to this rule are the Brisbane Surfers and Auckland Earls, where they are located far north enough to instead be located in the Pacific Division in order to ensure a relative balance of teams between the divisions. As a result of this expansion, the Stanley Cup playoffs are now a highly competitive, highly charged affair, in which the three best teams of each division compete, in addition to one wild card team that has the highest point total out of all the non-playoff teams, regardless of divisional alignment.
The Toronto Maple Leafs would go on to win the 2017 Stanley Cup Finals following an emotional Game 7 at the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, dashing the Penguins' hopes of winning the championship back-to-back following their previous year's win in 2016.
I love the idea of the Kaiserreich timeline being a pulpy retro future setting after WK2 despite their being no precedent in our timeline. Reminds me of fallout.

A German soldier oversees Victory day celebrations in Wurzburh, GFU circa 1961. Also seen is a showing of America: The New Order, an alternate history film detailing a world where America fell to Syndicalism, leading to internationale victory. The film was regarded as a product of the red scare prevalent in the post war period, and was harshly criticized by critics

I would love to see a timeline of that. Plus I've always liked it when alternate timelines have divergent tech evolution's from OTL. Even had a few ideas on it.I love the idea of the Kaiserreich timeline being a pulpy retro future setting after WK2 despite their being no precedent in our timeline. Reminds me of fallout.

George Mk III Cruiser Tank, primary Cruiser Tank of the Entente during the First Entente-Tuareg War, the Indian Wars, and the early years of the Pacific War. Removed from frontline service before the outbreak of the Entente-Internationale War.
Designed in Canada, with the primary manufacturers being Montreal Locomotive Works and Canadian Pacific Railway in Canada, and the New South Wales Railway Company in Australasia, with smaller amounts manufactured in India and National France.
With three machine guns and smoke launchers, it was found to be quite effective at supressing infantry, and with the large, high-velocity 17-pounder gun, it could easily take out most of the tanks it faced.
While effective against the foes it faced, the crews found it to be quite cramped, especially since the main gun was a bit too large for the turret. This complaint, and many others, would be addressed in future models.
Something I wrote over on the Alternative History Armoured Fighting Vehicles thread. Thanks to the guys over on that thread who helped me develop it.
