Like in OTL, the government declared it an open city because they had to flee, as it was apparent that the city could not be protected; yet the army continued to protect the capital at all costs. Apology accepted! Thank you, I am honored. Also, thanks for giving me the link to the thread; now...

Breton Support: One of the most active political parties of Brittany, the Breton National Party (Strollad Broadel Breizh), a party that was heavily influenced by the Irish Revolution, has been strictly neutral since the beginning of the war in Europe. The successful German blitzkrieg of France...

Proclamation of the Indian People's Republic: With the northwestern part of India secured by the Soviet Red Army, and with many major cities and towns in the rest of India under rule of the various loose branches of the Indian Red Army, the staff of the Communist Party of India officially...

A lot shorter than IOTL, indeed. :) Fall Rot Part I: With the best French armies and most French heavy weaponry having been lost and/or captured by the invading Germans, the French command had little left for a successful defence of the remaining parts of France. Fall Rot is initialized on May...

The Battle of Dunkirk: After the German troops reached the Channel, they swung north along the coast, threatening to capture the remaining ports and the encirclement of the Anglo-French forces before they could evacuate to Great Britain. With Anglo-French troops surrounded on the land by the...

Plans have been changed. I overslept, and I have to visit family within 30 minutes. :p I'll work on one or more updates tomorrow.

Thank you for your understanding. :) I agree with you on that, and in fact, I'm gonna catch some shuteye right now!

Czecho-Slovak Declaration of War: With France being invaded by the German Reich, Czecho-Slovak President Emil Hácha is put under political pressure, forcing him into making an extremely suicidal move: honoring his alliance with France and declaring war upon the Pact of Blood on April 27 1942...

Thank you! It's always great to read compliments from you, Scipio. I'm glad you like the annexation of Czechia. You should be proud of your Czech blood, of course. :) That's exactly how I'll organize Elsaß Lothringen and Luxemburg. :) Ah, I am very sorry about that! I was somewhat messing...

I would've loved to have given them roles ITTL already, but unfortunately they're officers and less noteworthy than f.e. Rommel and Guderian. I see no reason not to include a great politician like Carl Friedrich Goerdeler within the cabinet of Germany after the war.

German Invasion of France: The BEF and the French 1st Army had yet to be entrenched, and therefore the Belgian defeats were unwelcome. Within a day, the 8th and 9th German Panzer Divisions under Erich Hoepner and Erwin Rommel respectively, reach the muncipality of Hannut in central Belgium...

A lot. Don't you worry. England won't get away with underestimating the Reich! :D

German Invasion of Luxembourg and Belgium: On the evening prior to and the night of April 26 1942, Fall Gelb is initialized by Germany. Luxemburg is quickly occupied by German forces in the late evening of April 25. Army Groups Anton and Berta launch their offensives into Belgium, while the...

Sinking of the HMS Revenge: On April 23 1942, the HMS Revenge is sunk by the German U-boat U-28, marking the submarine's second sinking of an enemy warship. British sailors begin referring to the submarine as 'Killerbee', and the nickname is soon adopted by German sailors, giving rise to the...

The Treaty of Ulaanbataar: On April 21 1942, foreign secretary of the Soviet Union, Maxim Litvinov meets with E.M.S. Namboodiripad and Z.A. Ahmed, joint secretaries of the Congress Socialist Party (a branch of the Communist Party of India), in the city of Ulanbaataar,in the Mongolian SSR. Both...

Now that's just crazy. I need to study African topography again. Consider the cities to be Mwinlilunga and Solwezi, respectively, instead. Thank you for notifying me on the horrible mistakes.

I don't see what's wrong then? The only mistake I found was the fact that I called Mpulungu a city. Good idea, thank you. :) Anyways, I've updated all the world maps on the website, fixing the river colors in Russia and adding the rivers on the Indian peninsula. I will work on new articles...

Situation in Africa: By April 17 1942, the British 1st West African Infantry Brigade is pushed back into Zambia, where they reorganize in the city of Zambezi, along the eastbank of the Zambezi river (which runs through the entire colony). In the meantime, a squadron of the First Angolan Army...

Awesome stuff you've got there, Wyragen. Obviously, a successful Seelöwe is plausible ITTL, and having the US join in won't be a hard one either. Only POTUS Thomas E. Dewey will make it quite a bit harder with his isolationist policies. Then again, the Red Scare might pressure him enough to get...

That's going to happen indeed, after WWII. :) It's going to lead to a Cold War between democracy and communism: Germany and the Soviet Union. I'm not going to spoil anything else for now though. :D Thank you for your suggestion, my friend!
