Cue the complaints letters a la the old spaghetti tree prank....

Ok, basic premise is as follows: One man accidentally causes the Battle of Verdun to go the way of the Germans. And then about 50+ years worth of things happen with multiple updates per week. I can only echo the advice that you just read it, it will take a while, but it is well worth it.

Simple, write to your distant cousin in London, inform her of Doctor Stenhouse's existence. Elizabeth can make it so that the Captain's rank she deserved is granted to her now officially. Through in an OBE and the German equivalent for good measure too.

That's one of the best ones honestly. I use it as the other end of the "Ram Rebellion to Vienna Waltz" scale of Ring of Fire series

Or, he could just be a thoroughly normal man, to reflect Anne's thoroughly normal life. No schemes, just a slight envy of his betters. Some aspects of her life are unusual, but over all, she's the closest thing to a normal everyday German character we have.

Question, as the answer will inform my own responses, but is the British Army having a full rush of sanity to the brain, or will we still have to deal with the great demon of "Not Invented Here" syndrome?

As always, our minds turn to the Kennedy's Seriously though, nice update. Do question the entirety of my nations politics now in this world, mainly ones where the evil bastards are still a thing, sorry, Fianna Fail, and in particular just what exactly the shit bond villain who ruled this land...

I'd argue he is under less stress TTL than OTL, but yes, it is still a ticking bomb health wise for him. He might want to seriously look into retiring early, or being put on reduced work, being set up by his firm as handling only certain extremely VIP cases and the occasional other case if he...

I mean, if there isn't at least one movie about his "Star-Crossed Romance" and the "Legendary, dashing actions to win her heart" alone I'd be shocked. Never underestimate the value to a movie studio for an easy romance story. Especially if Gertha is in anyway involved in the whole affair :p

Tactical Officer Paul Clarke, the American to show the world had moved beyond the Cold War status?

As I understand it, the modern usage of the theory is that the mags are a "last resort" option as opposed to standard procedure.

It's also about 2 kg heavier than the weapon that PM is referring to here. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_vz._59 ) Which is in keeping with the Bohemian army developing "Similar, but lighter and different" equipment that they have been doing in this story for a while now. The gist is that...

If the Ritchie v LAPD thing goes down like a certain other "Police mess with a Special Forces guy" story, I'm hoping it goes more like the book than the movies. Movies are fine, I just thing the book is a better story.

Meh, that's not that shocking. That particular individual definitely possessed the traits to do it, kind pure-hearted saint she was not.

Hell, he could have a bloody previous generation submarine for all we know. Maybe not the easiest thing in the world to keep and operate, but if drug cartels today can do it, don't see why someone like him couldn't in the 60's.

Oh I do like Cosimo. He has style.

Keep it. Reality is shit, and there is no reason fictional reality is any different. I mean this world has had no repercussions for genocide up till now, so the Greeks and Serbs being monsters to Albanians isn't shocking.

Meh, Kiki can either except it or lose both a brother and friend. Kind of like Louis, she just needs to be told the situation in the right way, and while there are times for sugar-coating, there are times for bluntness too.

Not if Louis gets killed in a gun battle at sea :p Not that I'm rooting for that or anything, I just think everyone who is reading into them being the "next Emil and Maria" is forgetting the title of the story.
