On that note, it would be ironic, even if it makes sense with their situation, if the Kriegsmarine ITTL adopts roughly what IOTL would be Soviet naval doctrine in terms of using copious usage of anti-ship missiles and submarines to cancel out USN/Royal Navy carrier superiority in the future.

You know, a longer Prohibition has the effect of making it so Joe lives longer although he is in a spiral with the bottle, naming him that would be enough of a push for him to blow his brains out.
In case you went with that...
If I had a penny for every time you made someone kill themselves in this timeline I'd have two pennies, which isnt much but its weird it happened twice
Three, Schörner committed suicide by cop when he took up the challenge from a Prussian aristocrat to a duel over a military argument.
Huh, learning something every day
Maybe three times is the charm?
Okay, I was not being literal, he was not suicidal. But going up against an aristocratic military officer on a duel is a death sentence.
It sounds like the mafia is much stronger in this timeline.
How do you think Jimmy Hoffa ended up as a strongman of the Populists and Secretary of Labor?
Speaking of which, has the regime been taking efforts to prevent any more such incidents or they haven't had time to implement such efforts with Hess' ultimatum and the general political chaos back home?
Good luck trying to convince a man like Goebbels that he should limit his own power. The very idea of going against an order of the Führer is an anathema to one of the core concepts of Nazism. If the leader tells you to destroy the world, you must do it, at least that is what is in the mind of a Zealot like Goebbels, who was now given unlimited power.
I was talking about avoiding a repeat of the dueling incident where Schorner and Manstein dueled each other with Schorner being killed, considering the "WTF?!" reaction in Germania to this duel.

Given the u-boats exist I won’t be surprised if they’ve already done that.
This would be the most optimistic fate of the free french colonial empire,but i doubt it would happen.
But honestly this is already a dark world as it is. Most work of alternate history on mass media and some on this forum describe an victorios Nazi Germany as having very advanced technology, being very succesfully and many other nonsense.
It will be a nice change of pace for once to have an stable African nation(federation, alliance etc) in defiance of Nazi germany and its ideology.
I wonder how much higher the French population in Free France will be, regions like Gabon are so lightly populated that it could even end up with a white plurality. With all the horrors going on in Algeria I wonder if they will see an influx of Algerian refugees into French west Africa.
Another thing I'd love to see more about at some point would be the culture in the new Benelux Reichskommissariats, as well as in German Luxembourg. Hitler had long-term plans to reintegrate the region due to its ancestral part of the HRE and I'm curious if and how Germanification or Dutchification has advanced
the west was never Hitler's priority, but I know he had plans for the Netherlands, Belgium it's up to you since he had several ideas (integration, partition, puppet state)
