Never mind, I have to go now. So I'll get some entries up tomorrow. :)

I just realized that I forgot posting this article: Attack on Mers-el-Kébir: On May 27 1942, British Admiral Sir James Frownes Somerville delivers an ultimatum to French Navy Minister Admiral François Darlan, demanding him to either remove his fleet to neutral waters, or to surrender them to...

German Invasion of Gibraltar: On June 18 1942, the XXVIII Army Corps, commanded by Generaloberst Wilhelm Keitel, reaches Gibraltar. The corps consists of three Infantry Regiments, two Panzer Divisions, twenty medium and heavy artillery battalions, two observation battalions, four engineer...

Franco-Japanese Negotiations: In 1940, Japanese Prime Minister and Prince Fumimaro Konoe (近衞 文麿) had introduced the East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere into the Japanese politics. With the proclamation of a new weak French Republic, barely capable of suppressing the rising criminality and vandalism...

In the long run, yes. :) Just as in OTL, the 'friendship' between the Western Allies and the USSR got wrecked in the end of WWII. ;)

The Invasion of Hungary: On June 12 1942, the German 16th and 18th Army, commanded by Generaloberst Wilhelm List and Generaloberst Friedrich Paulus respectively, cross the western Hungarian border. The Hungarians, having expected the invasion, had already deployed the Hungarian First Army...

Conference of Vienna: On June 10 1942, Julius Curtius, president of Germany, Konstantin Freiherr von Neurath, Chancellor of Germany, Michael I, king of Romania, Peter II, king of Yugoslavia, Jozef Tiso, president of Slovakia, Iosif Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, and Maxim Litvinov...

Unternehmen Sturmvogel: On June 9 1942, after General Heinz Guderian’s advice to further weaken the British economy before invading it, the Oberkommando der Reichswehr begins formulating an invasion of the British overseas territory of Gibraltar; the key to the Mediterranean. Admiral Wilhelm...

British Anti-Invasion Preparations: The thought of a (successful) German invasion is also present in the United Kingdom itself. The nation is still recovering from the collapse of their Expeditionary Force and after the great performances by the German Reichswehr in France, no one considers a...

Great job, Ares96, as usual! Annexation of Bohemia and Moravia: On June 7 1942, it is decided by the German cabinet that Czechia should be annexed into the German Reich, allowing the construction of a highway between Silesia and Ostmark, and giving Germany full control over the (greatly...

Because, after some rethinking, I realized that Bohemia and Moravia have a population of over 8 million (likely anti-German) Czechs, which might be quite problematic for the Reich, since it's a democracy. But as usual, you're welcome to give your own opinion on that: after all I'd love it if...

Yet that's better than nothing, and I'm grateful for your help. ;) German Invasion of Czecho-Slovakia: On May 27 1942, German forces formerly stationed in France are deployed on the Czecho-Slovak border region. Soon, the I, II and III Panzerkorps and I and II Infanterieformations are...

Thank you very much for that useful explanation, Kelenas. :)

Oh, no, excuse me. That's because the volunteer units were called volunteer legions by the Waffen-SS in OTL. I think it makes sense for any army to call it that... but I need your opinion on that.

Sorry for the late update. My laptop is broken, so it's hard for me to find the opportunity to create and publish articles. Anyways, here are some articles for my fatherland the Netherlands, and for occupied Belgium. Construction of the Afsluitdijk: In January 1927, the Dutch government...

Seems fine to me! Having a Breton-speaking city as the nation's capital seems like a good motivation for the rest of the population to learn the language, and a central location is indeed a lot more logical. And of course I wouldn't want to ruin your map! :p Give me a few minutes, and the...

Perhaps. :) But they'll be drawn into the war, willingly or unwillingly. And here are the updates for the African Front: Situation in Namibia: On April 20 1942, the Terceira Divisão de Infantaria Expedicionária of General Eurico Gaspar Dutra (now consisting of approximately 47,000 men due...

Here is one. I had to make it on someone else's PC, and I accidentally saved the unfinished map in JPG, so I am unable to add a grey line around France. :( If someone else's able to do it, that'd be awesome. ;) And besides that, I am a horrible map-maker if it comes to large maps with precise...

Thanks everyone, for making me realize what a horribly mean move that was. :p Excuse me for that heartless action; the armistice itself is enough of a punishment for the French. :) That's awesome, Wyragen, thank you! If I recall, that's Pétain's personal flag, isn't it? You'll get credit for...

Excuse me for bumping this awesome TL. :D
