Quite right, but my main interest was to see how one could make the British car industry and the manufacturers replace or be as successful as the German car industry in OTL, so that it would be British companies that invested heavily the world around and was a political power in their home...

Oh, yes, quite right. It's not that I as such saw the USN drop carriers, I rather envisioned them to focus on battelships as the their main and primary tool of war so to say, with carries playing second or third fiddle. In sharp contrast to the Imperial Japanese Navy, and later Royal Navy as...

It’s over when the Fat Man sing Seadrops foam all empty human skulls Those on the shores of Atlantis Darwin's resurrection is witnessed By turtles he used to play with Healed and happy She oversees The Mother The tyrant's return to the sea - Nightwish, A Return To The Sea Today...

None taken! :) The reason I used 1945 as the earliest poD was because I genuienly wonder why the British car industry is in such dire straites. So by restricting people's imagination, so to say, I might be able to actually learn something from this! My point exactly, Nelson! Combine that...

I was wondering, being a bit of an anglophile and all, how would it be possible - with a PoD of no earlier that the summer of 1945 - that the British car industry had a role similar to that of Germany in OTL, so that in ATL British brands were superior and very well known, the car companies...

To the best of my knowledge, the Royal family came very close to getting bombed into oblivion on at least three occasions. Apparently a bomb in one instance landed in the King's bathroom, but failed to explode... I know the King and Queen was at the Palace most of the time - King George VI...

Good qustion and good points too, I'd say, Max! I'll say finish off Spain, then clear the Baltic coast, take Skt. Petersburg with Swedish backing, then move to secure Kiev, setting up another pubbet regime perhaps? While clearing the Ukraine and Baltics, Poland could come into play as a true...

Yes, it has indeed. I'm sorry for the long wait, but real life etc etc kinda robed me of much of my spare time! Thank you, Fearless. I hope to have the peace concluded in the next installment It's Over When the Fat Man Sing. It will most likely be a pretty fair peace, since Italy and Japan...

Just out of curiosity, if the North African theatre becomes more than a sideshow, would Rommel then still comand the German forces there? Besides that, I don't see any reason why the Germans could not ship in more troops and supplies. The Italian merchant navy could easily ship both the...

Ah, but the point being is that Britain can't afford to let the Japanese encroach on their Empire in this their hour of need, so to say. India, Australia, Africa, the sea lanes, the trade, the resources, the manpower and what not was absolutely vital to the survival of Britain and the Empire...

Hmm, I suppose Britain might, or most likely would. The Commonwealth and colonies would no doubt be fairly nervous, and rightfully so I'd say, about having the Japs rampaging through their neighbourhood, and Churchill would want to keep the Empire together, and happy, at all costs. If Britain...

Argh, I just bloody lost my answer to you... well, at it again... Thanks Tom. Well, I see what you mean, but... I have included some of the various Kriegmarine crafts and vessels to give the impression that with Der Dicke gone, the Kriegsmarine, Luftwaffe and I suppose Heer as well are...

Thank you, Blysas. Have just updated, and Operation Orfeus is about to be posted. I'm putting the final touch to it more or less as I'm writing this - multi-tasking is a truly marvellous thing, is it not! :) Oh, and regarding the Mustang. Apparently it was originally designed according to a...

To Invade or not to Invade… Us, and them And after all we’re only ordinary men. Me, and you. God only knows it’s noz what we would choose to do. Forward he cried from the rear And the front rank died. And the general sat and the lines on the map Moved from side to side. Black and blue...

Operation Karin Operation Karin You give up on yourself Somehow you got betrayed again Thin ice and luck runs out Who will you blame it on this time? Due to lack of interest in you The light at the end of the tunnel Was turned off And something I noticed Beating you is thrilling me...

The Good Tsar This is fairly rough and probably needs some (a lot of, more likely) additional work, but I post it anyway. Basically, I think that the character of Tsar Nikolai II was such, that he could have turned out quite differently, and thus Russia as well, if his wife had been another...

Ah, yes, but I suspect that the somewhat strained realtionship and bad feelings between Norway and Sweden did play a role here. In this ATL the three countries are more like equal partners, so... Btw I wonder where Justin will put the Capital... Lund? Yes, but there will be no surplus...

This is one of my favorite PoD's! What if shortly before Nikolai succeeded his father, he had married Princess Louise of Denmark (a cousine) instead of Alix (Alexandra). Let's say that Tsarevitj Nikolai and his future wife had met during Nikolai’s visits to the Danish Court in Copenhagen and...

Good update, Justin, and it's very nice with a map too! Ehm, yes, but the warships had to pass through Danish/Scandinavian territorial waters... Some kind of synergy effect will probably be apparent. The three former kingdoms will have everything, perhaps exept knowhow, within their...
