No negatives so far. I assume you are setting the scene for some future progression, but as it stands it’s a well written and plausible description of life in the East after the “victory”.

Another good update. Thanks for writing this. The undercurrent of bad things to come is palpable as an OTL reader

Amazing start. Would have been interesting to know more background but also Ok to focus on the post battle situation

I recall from past discussions between Viking and obsessed nuker that quite a lot of Soviet prisoners would be expected if Leningrad fell. If so fresh Soviet forces must defend the northern front that put pressure on Moscow with excellent supply lines. If case blue goes as OTL then the timetable...

I guess the post before the kick had quite a bad connotation to it. In isolation it (the kick post) looked like a factual answer to a question, but my mistake reading it as such. He was already doing the dangerous comparison of different countries unfortunate/cynical historic pasts which one...

How about no beer hall putsch or it goes ahead without Hitler (sick/injury?) with Hitler claiming the tesponsibility at the trial? So no jail time or bann of speaking and earlier nazi organization. Come 1929 crash they swoop into the elections in 1930. So roughly similar set-up although Britain...

I once did a TL on this exact premise. Probably not without its flaws, but early days https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/search/8508269/?q=Graf+Spee+escapes&c%5Btitle_only%5D=1&c%5Busers%5D=Gudestein&o=date

I think we always need to understand the thought processes that leads to the changes. It could be the plan Z rewritten or it could be a way of making task forces on the cheap. Imagine the money invested into the D class heavy cruisers and carriers on a similar hull with a few spahkreuzer’s...
