Raymann, in NO way, shape or form are the neo-Nazi skinhead movemen TRUE Christians following what is contained in the Bible, however much they claim to be, & their interpretation of the Scriptures is laughably sick & twisted- as 1 expert on the AMERICAN HATE documentary series said re the KKK &...

well, how bout a greater pan-German nationalist sentiment arising from the BEFREIUNGSKRIEG against Napoleon in 1813 ?

well, along the lines of Colin powell as a nondescript with no Vietnam War- same could be said for other Vietnam-experienced prominent generals such as Schwartzkopf, Franks, or Wesley Clark. Hmmm, would there also have been no 1st black general promoted to command troops in the field- that was...

yeah mate, that's right. I also just remembered, here in Australia, there's been a similar push for a TRC to acknowledge & compensate the Stolen Generations- WI such a tribunal was indeed established ?

http://www.icrc.org/Web/eng/siteeng0.nsf/htmlall/section_review_2006_862 WI there was an International Truth & Reconciliation Commission established in the Hague- perhaps as either an alternative to, or supplement of, the ICC ? WI there'd also been national TRCs in other countries- in...

WI the USN & USMC, with British support, did indeed invade & occupy Martinique in 1941 ? How would relations with Vichy France, the Free French & Nazi Germany have been affected ? Could such a US move have been just what the Mers-el-Kebir affair was to the British ? How then would Op TORCH...

mate, have you read THE MAN WITH THE IRON HEART ? I think some aspects would be a bit far-fetched- such as Heydrich's personal influence to stockplie SO much weaponry & manpower to wage a terrorist campaign against Allied occupation forces- but still quite interesting...

OK, how would any Confederate Marine Corps have developed during the ACW & after ? Would the CSMC have become as popular as the USMC among Southerners ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confederate_States_Marine_Corps

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Cavell#Memorials So, WI Ms Cavell hadn't been shot by the Germans for aiding British POWs to escape ?

So, WI the Mexican-American War hadn't ocurred in 1846, or would such a conflict between the US & Mexico have been inevitable at some point during that period ?

I agree with the fulfilment of such things suggested as full black (& poor white) land ownership, effective enforcement of the 14th Amendment, & a strong federal anti-lynching law- I'd also add a greater & stronger federal govt presence in the South (federal troops, US Marshals, etc) & the...

I recall CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR (both the book & the movie), where Gust Avrakotos held much resentment towards his superiors & many of his colleagues who were from the WASP elite Ivy League background, & who looked down upon himself for his immigrant working-class origins- as exemplified in his...

OTL East Timor govt-in-exile in Australia- as represented by Jose Ramos Horta -also, a similarly prominent West Papuan govt-in-exile

well, just read in the GHOST CIOLONIES book the other day that there WERE a few ex-Confederates (at leat 5,000-10,000 IRRC) who were allowed to settle in Mexico 1866-67 as a buffer against Republican forces- of course, these Confederate settlers were eventually compelled to pack up & leave once...

No ALLENTOWN ? Hmmm, if the Rust belt didn't develop in Detroit, Gary, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Allentown et al, doesn't that mean that Billy Joel wouldn't have written ALLENTOWN back in 1982 re the steel factories closing down & mass unemployment (I saw him perform this song in concert last yr...

Re the FFL, they'd find De Gaulle less unpopular if they could keep their HQ in Algeria- OTL alot of FFL officers were involved in the OAS who wanted to assassinate him...

OK, just on an AH hypothetical line- WI more Catalans, Genoans & Venetians had responded to the Byazntines' call for aid ? Could say a CONDOTTIERI expedition under Bartolomeo Colleoni (who from what I see wasn't up to all that much in 1453) have made a major difference to preventing the fall of...

thx for your contributions guys- re the mass capitulations on Omaha Beach on D-Day due to German armour closer to the landing area- that scenario is actually desribced in detail by Peter Tsouras in DISASTER AT D-DAY, when the BIG RED ONE are hit hard by 12th SS HITLER JUGEND & the remnants...

So WI Higgins (whom Hitler called a modern-day Noah) wasn't around to mass-produce his landing craft ? Would the Allies still have won WWII without his boats ?

Another book i read today was APACHE by Ed Macy, which detailed how, during his tour in 2006/07 in Helmand province, the Taliban had broadcasted their intention to treat a captured British serviceman by skinning him (or her) alive & recording the whole spectacle on video. Said Taliban statement...
