Any indication that he was so inclined or are you just spitballing here?

Ichirô Itano, I'd guess. EDIT: actually, make that Leiji Matsumoto.

Couldn't the NSDAP just run someone else as their candidate and win?

Something like this, perhaps? Pictured is Mr Martti Aleksander Pihkala née Gummerus (1882–1966), a Finnish strikebreaker and short-time MP of the interwar era.

Both of these were sons of Civil War veterans in OTL. I think Buckner would have fit extremely well into the books, but I don't think he makes an appearance at all, am I right?

Misspelled Lee's first name, but it's otherwise good.

Anything to fix here? (The guy in the picture is an obscure British WWI officer by the name of Richard Courtenay Throckmorton, if anyone's interested.)

Since Wade Hampton III and Wade Hampton IV were both big in the facial hair department I'd imagine Wade Hampton V to adhere to that as well. Probably lose the beard as time passes by though... actually, how about K. J. Ståhlberg, the first President of Finland for the role of him? Even the...

Interesting, thank you very much for this. I actually just remembered that I did once read a bunch of speculative essays in Finnish as well, but I have no memory of what they might have entailed - not the most captivating subject matters that they had then, I'd guess.

(Anglophone members need not apply.) I have been reading nigh every alternate history title I could get my hands on. It is interesting to notice that not only do S. M. Stirling and Harry Turtledove, the two alternate history greats, have no titles translated into Finnish, but there is seemingly...

I used this picture of astronomer William Wallace Campbell for Blackford back when I worked on my mod of TL-191 for Darkest Hour.

The graph representing my vicarious embarrassment on a vertical axis must have reached the stratosphere once I got to the word "Blogspot".

An idea for a novel I have developed for a few years would - briefly - feature a Japanese hospital ship by the name of IJN Komorebi Maru.

Heh. I was thinking Leonardo DiCaprio, for some reason.

Could we have David Andrews as Douglas MacArthur? ;)

Ah, no - way, way, way too cerebral for the average viewer. (Though one can dream, certainly.)

I think it says, "A good citizen is punctual. Don't miss your train!"

It'd probably have a bit of a dieselpunk edge to it, with each faction pumping out weird armored cars, planes and gunboats etc., duking it out in the Plains and the Appalachians... I think a crossover between Kaiserreich and Crimson Skies would work rather well, actually :o
