  1. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    I know, just made me laugh! Also, this may amuse you - as you may know Hardegen famously sailed into New York harbor, which coincidentally is the same city I was born in. A small coincidence, but a testament to how far the US and Germany came in the years after the war.

    Funny to see a many-times great uncle turn up here (though given the actions of some of my other relatives OTL, it could have been a lot worse)! Though I take issue with him being described as a 'bastard', my grandfather remembers him as a very kind man!

    The thought of Bielefeld existing is so far fetched, it's unthinkable even in the most alternate of alternate history stories!

    I can practically hear the wedding bells!
  6. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread II

    More like a really weird Korean War from OTL's perspective, but with the US providing material support to the Chinese instead of the Soviets, while Germany and Japan fight alongside the Koreans. Soviet War 2 - Chinese Boogaloo! Human wave tactics with inferior equipment, German veterans from...

    Not only that, but China is probably one of very few states that looks upon the US favourably - given the US' willingness to sell war materials to both the Soviets and Japanese during WW2, and later the support provided to the Turks, most of the world will regard the US as nothing more than war...

    I wonder how much of a cult of personality (or perhaps 'imperial cult' would be a more fitting term) will develop around the royal family as word of their achievements spreads. From patrons of the arts and medical services, to successful soldiers, athletes and statesmen, there's going to be a...

    I have an uncle called Dick Rucker, that’s pretty bad too!

    My dad still gives me and my brother shit for dragging him to the first pokemon movie. I remember within 10 minutes all the parents in the cinema were fast asleep while the kids watched enraptured!

    Well damn, this is going to end badly. This is going to be like the Greek-Turkey mess that Truman helped support except far, far worse. Especially because, unfortunately for the supporters of Korea, they won't be able to stop arms shipments to China as easily as they did to Turkey back then...

    At least she knows its worth sitting on an appreciating asset! Reminds me of Brian Blessed's story about Picasso visiting Sheffield when he was a boy - apparently Blessed got to meet him and asked him to draw something. Picasso drew a dove and handed it to him, Blessed took one look, said I can...

    I'm pretty sure there are treaties banning such a deployment

    Who knows, this could mean that Kat finally finds a place in the halls of power that she is relatively at peace with. Funnily enough, it would be largely the same as the one she has already been occupying for decades just with a different mistress.
