Is it just me, or does anyone else find that a myth with nothing to back it up whatsoever? This is Hitler, history's greatest shit, and one who didn't have qualms or a nice side if you got to know him!

Is it breaking the site's "no revenge fantasies" rule to hope something really nasty happens to Michael Grade in TTL? Not death, that'd be too much; just something like catching a nasty dose off a hooker, that kind of level.

Sior, stop reading the Daily Mail! It's very bad for you!

Serious reply (to make up for my earlier sarky one): I just stumbled across this on a wiki-walk. http://www.empcommission.org/ The pdfs seem to be the kind of stuff you're looking for.

It doesn't really matter what you put in your TL. If EMP so much as affects an early digital watch, the pro-nuke fanboys will be down on you like a ton of bricks, demanding your TL be sent to ASB. Also, a drop of Factor 50 sunscreen will prevent any flash burns, no problem.

Eh? :confused: Btw, I love that OTL photo of LBJ. It's how I look when I've just answered the umpteenth cold-call asking if I'm satisfied with my energy supplier.

If you include 'normal' war-dead (not victims of Einsatzgrupen, death-camps, etc) then OTL Nazi death toll is more than 50million. Charges were laid against the Nazis at Nuremberg for this, not just specifically Holocaust crimes.

Same goes for everyone, in any (non-ASB) TL. Otherwise, HL would be aged 122 by now. [/EvenMorePedantThanComisarioMode]

Somewhere in Dalston, Stewart Lee curses and sets fire to an early draft libretto.

But Hilary wouldn't have become a royal, so why would it make any difference to her presidential eligibility? Nixon tried pushing his daughter onto Prince Andrew during a visit to the US.

May the same happen in all the former Yugoslavia, Israel/Palestine, Sri Lanka, and so many other places it's too depressing to list. :(

Doesn't matter if it was an order of magnitude higher than 'Loyalist' killers. Even if all of The Troubles were regarded as acts of war, rather than criminal gangs, deliberate retaliation aimed at civilians with no warning should earn the 1974 perpetrators a place in Spandau with Hess.

I confess upfront to knowing damnall about naval war strategy; but how could he maintain any kind of strategy without knowing where his boats were and what they'd done recently? I suppose the 'strategy' may have been initially "go out like you're individual pirates", but surely that needed to...

Yeah, but he did specify British security forces; which means the Branch, the spooks, and TAIAP the SAS, rather than the RUC and the Army in general. Can those actors be said to be acting on behalf of HMG? (Hell, the spooks didn't even officially exist in 1974!) But would even any players not...

Who did the SA contract the hit to? Vader's Imperial Stormtroopers? :p

That could be awful; when Mudoch's Sky bought out BSB, they might try putting this on Fox (possibly more than one episode this time!) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heil_Honey_I%27m_Home! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf9jJx0NSjw

Yet wouldn't the impact of Nazism be greater in the Asia of AANW-world compared to OTL simply because of the huge number of Indian Army troops who've directly fought against them? Maybe still not as much as in the Europe where the fight took place, true. But I was thinking maybe things like...

Blimey, that's an even more interesting story than the ATL! Ever thought of doing an autoboigraphical story? ;)

I could be totally wrong here, but I think it's the case here that the vignette is set pre-'Night of the Long Knives' (Since the SA are still around) and the Hitlerist faction are getting their arses kicked by the Strasser Bros faction. And since there is no unified Nazi machine, certainly not...

And yet, it happened....at least until those sections of 1940s Ukraine susceptible to Nazi propaganda realised they had been conned (too late!) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_collaborationism_with_the_Axis_powers (Yeah yeah, only wikipedia, blah blah, but they're not always wrong and...
