Oh well wrong again. Just goes to show don't believe everything you read.:o

Yes it could. By 1943 they were in production as T-34/85. So a German version built with an 88mm shouldn't be a problem and would stream line German panzer production more as only one gun type need to be produced. This is assuming that the Tiger that was already well under development enters...

Glen, have you though of compiling all of this and including it in the T & S section. Even though Germany seems to have lost out on resources it might still bring the two empires closer together in that both will have convergent needs and abilities. It is also quite possible with the...

Glen, a point on this with the Anglo-German alliance still in force might the British and Germans come to an accommodation in which the Germans are encouraged to build up their fleet to lets say two thirds of the RN just so that any dispute with the USA the AGA has naval supremacy. On another...

The USA isn't the world largest industrial power in the early 1900's they don't become that until after WWI which was used to develop their industry to an incredible degree. In this TL you might find that the USA doesn't develop as much and Germany and Great Britain develop more leading to a...

If a formal alliance was in place you'd probably see some form of Treaty backed naval expansion of the KLM that kept it at lets say 2/3's that of the RN. Yes the middle class and the industrialists wanted a big navy but they'd be just as happy if they constantly replaced ships with better...

OW, Nice update but there seems to be a few errors. Firstly Bangladesh didn't exist until until 1971 it was part of india /pakistan before then. The next point is where the Uranium is? You mentioned India and South Africa which are small timers compared to the biggies in Canada and...

Yes this idea originally jumped into my head when a very non politically correct friend made a comment better Jews then blacks in reference to an attack by some somali refugees at a local pub. This started me thinking what if Jews weren't looked down upon at the time and if they were just...

The POD for this TL is a change in policy by Australian politicians after WWI. IOTL "Enemy Aliens " especially non English speaking ones had had strict quotas even after the initial five year ban from 1920. My POD is that instead of this ban it is replaced by one where only "white Aliens"...

The may have been unprofitable then but a bit of exploration and you would find a lot of goodies. Kaiser Wilhelm Land has one of the largest gold mines in the world and Bouganville has one of the largest copper deposits in the world. It seems strange that the smallest and most distant...

GZ, This part has many serious errors. There was one very real reason why the German bomb program was a failure. Electricity! The Manhatten Project used something like 50% or more of the total US electricity production. If you want a Anglo-German a-bomb then the project has to be...

Yes! Greco-Turkish wouldn't happen there was a lot of bad blood between the two countries especially after Greece occupied part of Turkey and didn't want to leave. A similar problem will arise with Cyprus that Turkey sees as it's territory. The best the Allies could hope for from Turkey...

GZ, Heydrich was an opportunistic Ba@#$%d par excellence. If he hadn't been killed by partisans in OTl it's quite possible he might have bumped of Himmler to take control of the SS. In this TL he'd do the sums and know Himmler was doomed. He'd then mosey over to the bugger and remove...

O.K Two points the capital of Afghanistan is Kabul not Kandahar and has been since 1776. Oh and ships bombard positions not bomb them. In regard to Romangrad I doubt it would be anything like OTL Stalingrad as Guderian would not have the no retreat no surrender orders nor would he be...

Interesting OK. At present thing seem to be going too well for the Franco-Italians in Africa and the Middle East. Remember that sand and dust did in more vehicles in Africa then enemy action did. Oh and one further point here's a quote. The He -129 must be a piss poor aircraft if it...

Sorry about the rant but I'm one of the boards battleship nazis.:eek: I just can't stand incorrect battleship terminology. FYI the Germany policy for Dreadnought was quite different from the rest of the world. The Germans were quite willing to sacrifice speed and larger guns for better...

OW, There is an obvious error here. In chapter 11 you wrote: In Chapter 13 you said that Guderian was promoted to major General and Rommel to LT Colonel. I think you need to work on your ranks. If the Germans sent two panzer division then they would be commander by two officers of the same...

OW, I regards to aircraft reconaissance I agree but I thought that they were also used in the ground attack roll or did I just misinterpret something? I don't have a problem with the big dreadnoughts. The inches is a big error however Germany is a metric country that is why the German...

OW, I've only just caught up with this TL. There are some grammatical error that a proof read should fix. There are however problems. Aircraft in 1909 were in their infancy and I doubt they'd have the capabilities you give them. Another problem is with the Germans using 40.6cm...

So what was it that made George Lazenby the best ever Bond. He made 11 films over 20 years with his best performance being his last in Licence To Kill. The only pity being that he was considered too old and dumped from the next movie GoldenEye that was a commercial failure. Since his...
