One thing to remember is that people saw themselves less as citizens of the United States but instead as Virginians, or New Yorkers or in this case Kentuckians. I think alot the men who fought for Union in OTL would have followed there state and fought for the South, it could make a difference...
Maybe a limited attack in the west to recapture Aachen? I believe, though might be wrong the allies had moved some supplies into there city the Germans could take and there is the prestige factor in recapturing German soil... Though really anything that changes the wars outcome is asb at...
This a Great Timeline! I don't get a chance to post on here that often but I really like the idea of exploring a Nazi Germany that's not led by Hitler but different from the usual Goring or Himmler led Reich. Keep Up the Good Work!
No, Not the best overall... however Rommel was in both the First and Second World War's one of the best at small unit tactics and useing speed and surpise to defeat his enemies.
User Thanks for the links :)
I wasn't aware that the Romanians had such a large Army ( and so much Artillery) and Air Force prior to Barbarossa, reading the other threads it seems likely that Romania alone VS Soviet Union would have been Winter War 2.0 - a bloody embarssing conflict that the...
On June 26th 1940, The Soviet Union issued a ultimatum to the Romanian Ambassador to Moscow demanding the regions of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina. King Carol II wanted to fight however historically he back down under after metting with the German and Italian Ambassdor's to Romania who urged...
It is certainly possible that a Germany that switches to a entirely defensive gameplay in the east could force a stalemate on the Eastern Front. The problem however is Hitler who pushed for German offenses, and when the Wehrmacht was on the defensive often would issue "no retreat" orders rather...
It's is likely that Stalingrad would have fallen, by the time of the Soviet counter attack in OTL most of the city had already fallen to the Germans. With the extra forces sent to attack the Caucasus mountains both helping assault the city and covering the axis flanks it seems likely that...
Maybe a Pre war POD where Italy modernizes it's ports and builds more Rail lines in Libya? Combined with Germany using more Luftwaffe transport aircraft to bring over more supplies? Of course more Aircraft in NA means fewer of the Eastern front, which could led to a lot of butterflies.
I never knew the Knights had a presence in the New World! I wonder if there is way for a larger, longer lasting presence. And A Polish/ Lithuanian settlement would be very different from anything in OTL in the New World. Idk much about Eastern Europe in that era, so I wonder what PODs could...
I never said Spain joining had to be a plus for Germany ;) I'm curious as to how this war would play out. I think Spain's first goal would be to seize Gibraltar and close the Western Med to the British. How does this affect British strategy? I guess Britain would retaliate, but prior to the...
I like the idea of a Knightly order establishing a colony in the New World. Maybe the Spanish could give a small Island or a piece of land in maybe Florida to the Knights of Malta or one of the Crusading Orders in order to win Papal favor? The knights could use this as a base after Rhodes falls...
Historically England, France, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands were the main powers with Colonies in the New World. Other nations like Sweden and Denmark did however have a few colonies, mostly Sugar Islands in the Caribbean. I'm intersted in seeing other powers have there day in sun and...
Forgot about this site for a long time, but now I'm back!
In Real Life of course Italy fought with the Nazis in World War 2 and had a poor rep on the battlefield, while Franco and Spain stayed out of war. Italy of course changed sides and fell to Allies while Spain remained a Right-Wing...
A few issues
I. Where is Japan going to get the troops to invade Siberia in the first place? At the time the majority of the IJA is fighting in China. Any invasion of Siberia is going to require a major withdrawal from China to defensive postions at best and most likely a seperate peace...
