Hi all.
Been a while.
Let's propose Yugoslavia, for whatever reason, collapses in the year of its birth. It can be said the state was dead before it was ever truly alive, with some even labeling its formative years as a "prison of nations". Considering the Great War ends not too much...
Do know, I am merely exploring the idea of the Soviet Union also being another antagonist in the war, among other concepts I will not mention out of irrelevance to the topic. And---maybe the Soviet Union acts first, rather than waiting for Germany to take the initiative. This has nothing to do...
Yes and yes. Allow me to add more context because I get the feeling I may need to. The (secret) Treaty of Rapallo between Weimar Germany and the Soviet Union is never ratified. So no military cooperation--due to piecemeal Soviet support of the Spartacus Uprisings, and others across Europe. In...
Hello all. This is a bit of a poll. I am penning an alternate history series that begins in the Crimean War and centers around the World Wars. The question I am asking of you is this: Between Poland and the Soviet Union in 1937, which is most likely to win? Will the war be long or short? Let me...
Abdication < assassination. Makes more sense to me given the turmoil of the time. Anarchists claimed the lives of many ambassadors, generals, monarchs, politicians and the like from the 1850s to the 1910s; therefore I find it fitting to have the 1901 assassination attempt on the Wilhelm II...
Hindsight aside, what I am attempting to do is redefine what wunderwaffe means in terms of how such weapons, vehicles, and devices affect war-time logistics rather than the decisive war-winning miracle as we have come to associate the real wunderwaffe with. Basically, if German developments took...
Hello all. Below is a bit of a list I am putting together for my AH scenario. I am aiming for a more pragmatic approach to the classic wunderwaffe concept. You'll probably notice the distinct lack of weapons we are all too familiar with, like the Horten Ho-229, Aggregrat A-4 or Panzkerkapmfwagen...
I do appreciate the feedback, it gives me a few ideas... although I did notice no one addressed the fact that if the BT series is but an extensive modification of the Christie chassis, then would it not be reasonable to presume without said purchase of said chassis, the BT series never comes to...
My only response is that you assume if Germany wins the Great War, there will be a second war... why? Perhaps a series of proxy wars between what amounts to a Soviet Union in the West and the German Empire, intervention in civil wars, or even an anticomintern coalition similar to the League of...
The year is 1930 and J. Walther Christie is approached by Soviet OGPU agents through a trade organization named AMTORG to purchase his M1930 tank chassis. This move was apparently illegal given that such a sale was considered exportation of war material. Given the Soviets actually deceived the...
Suppose for whatever reason, atomic bombs do not fall on Japan, maybe the USS Indianapolis is torpedoed while carrying Little Boy's components, maybe Bockscar is shot down carrying Fatman on route to Nagasaki, whatever the case no atomic bombs come in August. Now, let's imagine that in wake of...
After my foray into numerous World War II alternative scenarios, researching buried information and compiling what all I could find of use, it became obvious that Germany and Japan's token exchanges via submarine was less than ideal given the extremely long & hazardous voyage between them...
I believe I finally have a workable scenario, here goes: The year is 1940, the month, July. Germany's war machine has ravaged across Europe and Britain stands alone. In Italy, Mussolini is gunned down by a foreign nationalist at a rally following the surrender of France. In the ensuing chaos...
Interesting feedback. :hushedface: I would like to propose another question however: Suppose that after Mussolini is abdicated or assassinated (which either better suits this scenario) and Italy becomes neutral... what if, like Operation Catapult (1940), a fearful Winston Churchill launches a...
If Mussolini was assassinated in 1939 before the war broke out... What would be Hitler's response?
I could hypothetically assume that the Fuhrer would try and annex the ethnic German population of Italy, as with Austria in 1938 (Anschluss). Maybe a possible Fascist puppet government could be...
