Totally agree. It was awful. And compare it to a movie like "The Victors"..which I think was the best movie about WWII until Spielberg started making his films.

The fight is already in Hungary. The Soviets are going to save a lot of Iron in building their curtain. They'll be lucky to control Romania..or a divided Poland. "From Danzig on the Adriatic to Kosice in the Carpathians, an Iron Curtain has descended..."'

More than eight months sooner than OTL.

It will be interesting to see how a shrunken Soviet sphere of influence will affect the Cold War or if there will even be one (wishful thinking). The Iron Curten will be much further East, China may well remain Nationalist, and hopefully Korea and Vietnam will not turn into areas of conflict...

Santiago, Chile. to the east it's protected by the Andes, to the north by the driest desert in the world, to the west is the Pacific, and it's surrounded by mountains just outside its suburbs. To the south is more Chile.

If the Western Allies end up on the outskirts of Berlin first I would imagine the German army surrendering, or soldiers deserting in larger numbers and the fight not being anything like what the Soviets had to deal with. A possible coup in the bunker?

So who gets to Paris first...the allies in this Time Line, or me. I'll be there on Thursday at 10:50AM local time. Going to visit my daughter who works as an au pair just outside the city. That is if the Covid test comes out negative...and everything else works out right.

The watertight Neutrality Act and we don't embargo Japan as seriously as we did (which was certainly possible, since FDR wanted to postpone any conflict with Japan as long as possible). If there is no lend lease to the UK or the USSR then IF the Soviets survive..which is not a given because...

So, what do you do in your spare time? BWAHAHAHA....just kidding!

Wouldn't the Germans have just blown it up as they retreated if we hadn't wrecked it?

I'm thinking that with the Western Allies on their doorstep and the Soviets still some distance off a successful Valkyrie may take place. It may even be staged by Himmler or Goring.

I doubt FDR has any intention of allowing the French to return to Indochina.

Sunk a truck.
