Is there any historical basis for Hitler being drugged - was that ever an option? Reading Kershaw's book about the last days of the Third Reich his subordinates were still completely in his thrall right up to the end - what would Hitler's reaction be to being drugged in direct contradiction to...
I think Hitler was pretty set on his 'Gotterdammerung.' If he does leave the bunker I can only see it being to continue the fight for a few more weeks at the Alpine fortress that was being prepared - I just can't imagine him running away with the intention of saving his skin.
Also - where does...
Here's the next part, the next section will be from the rebel perspective.
PART FOUR
Lt Colonel Christie-Smyth, commanding officer 1st Duke of Wellington’s, was incredulous as Connors explained what had happened at the parade ground.[4] The thin columns of smoke had been noticed by some of the...
Thanks! I'm enjoying writing it.
Quick correction - I've realised that the Connaught Rangers, although attached to the 3rd (Lahore) Division, were actually based at Ferozepur. The 1st battalion Duke of Wellington's Regiment would have been at the Lahore Cantonment.
Thanks for the interest everyone!
There are quite a few intellectuals in the Punjab and Bengal behind the plot - Jatindrnath Mukherjee is the most important leader in the east, Sohan Singh Bhakna was president of the Ghadar party so behind the risings in the west. The main aim was to kick the...
Yeah that's exactly what happened in OTL, although by that stage even the hastily rearranged rising was compromised by the double agent. Weirdly the conspirators seemed to have suspected him for a while before they attempted to do anything - and even when they did try they were unsuccessful...
Thanks! Here's the next part.
PART TWO
The whole conspiracy had so almost been given away. Gurjinder had known there was something wrong with the newest member of their cell, Kirpal Singh. Something about the way he asked questions about aspects of the plot that shouldn’t have concerned...
OUR NAME IS REBEL - THE SECOND INDIAN MUTINY
If anyone asks who we are
Tell him our name is rebel
Our duty is to end the tyranny
Our profession is to launch revolution
That is our namaz, this is our sandhya
Our puja, our worship
This is our religion
Our work
This is our only Khuda...
Ok, instead of re-posting everything I think I'll just make this post an index, with links to all the chapters so far - hopefully that'll make it easier for everyone to refresh their memories (me included!) and maybe even attract some new readers.

Yeah that is true - I suppose the only way to make it work would be to concentrate on building up the Emperor's force into a centralised army. One can only imagine, however, that the various Ras and chieftains would not look upon that too kindly!
If it did happen I can see the Germans doing the...
This would make for an interesting TL.
British Pathe have some fascinating films of the Abyssinian preparations for war, including this one, which demonstrates the sort of drill the European (Swedish in this film) officers were conducting.
