And what of Hitler's personal staff? Johannes Hentschel, Rochus Misch, Nicolaus von Below, Hans Bauer, Traudl Junge, Constanze Manziarly, etc...

What happened to all the Wannsee Conference attendees? In particular Friedrich Wilhelm Kritzinger?

Flag of Ilha Alta Ilha Alta is a fictional island with little over 5,500 people that is based on the real Inaccessible Island. An unincorporated, organized territory of the United States, it gained its current status on July 4, 1993. Largely self-reliant due to a large population of sheep, good...

What would it take with a POD no earlier than 1989 for Ukraine to be an economic powerhouse following independence? This would include much less corruption, a strong democracy, etc... How would Ukraine politically develop as a result of this? Would it create a different type of government?

This is one of the best timelines in all of my time here on AH.com. The writing is of a quality I have not seen, ever, outside of the work of professional historians. Overall I think this timeline is guaranteed a Turtledove Award if it continues, and I fully intend to vote for it. One of my...

I think one way is to have one of the Central Asian countries go the way of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) with an out of hand cult of personality, a nationalist/socialist ideology, etc... We sort of get that with Turkmenistan, but imagine it with some type of socialist...

I am currently reading a very good book about the Italian Social Republic and the especially chaotic Summer of 1943 when Pietro Badoglio and King Victor Emmanuel III fled Rome as the Germans invaded the country. Many Italians saw this as nakedly self-serving, and many believed it was the "death...

Ooh. I am liking all of these ideas! One idea I had, especially as Upstate New York and the Finger Lakes region was very friendly to freedmen and women during the Antebellum period (Harriet Tubman, for example, settled in Auburn. Seneca Falls was a few miles away. Solomon Northrup was from...

Earlier today I watched Harriet and it got me going down into the weeds of the Underground Railroad and the wider abolitionist movement. I am aware that there was a push among white abolitionists to send manumitted people to either Africa or Latin America (i.e. Liberia or the Mosquito Coast)...

Sorry for the massive delay in posting. I have been doing some reworking of Ketansett as a project. Everything I posted is already canon, but I did change the flags and graphics a bit, and I am working on a revamped wider region Ketansett exists in called Fair Meadows. You might see the flags...

I think he thought it was a basemap and used it like how someone might use the other basemaps available. When I was younger on AH.com I've made that mistake before.

It is pretty distinct and is an interesting scenario. And we all make mistakes. I've mistaken someone else's map for a basemap before so I totally get it and the panic when someone points it out.

For one thing the second part of the map is different. And there are differences in the first part of the map as well. For one thing the sieges in Germany. The civil war in Hungary, even the deliniation between Poland and Lithuania, not to mention the border changes in the second map...

I don't think it's plagiarism though. I've been plagiarized before and this isn't it.

I think he probably used the map as a basemap.
